We're excited to let you know that on April 29th we will begin to upgrade to ProBoards Version 5. This upgrade will contain hundreds of new forum features and improved functionality. Below are just a few of the great things you can expect with this upgrade!

The "Colors & Theme Creator" section of the Admin Panel will make it extremely simple to customize the look of our forum.
Host all our forum's images directly on ProBoards! No more relying on third party image hosts!
Create custom web pages and Forum Portals directly on our forum using a new Custom Pages feature.
A new Member Groups system that allows us to categorize our members into multiple groups allowing us even easier member management.
New Live Search functionality that brings us search results as we type; Never wait for your answers again.
A Shoutbox integrated directly into our forum!
Join multiple forums and transition between them seamlessly using a single account with our ProBoards Global Login.
Notifications to help you stay on top of the latest updates to threads you've participated in and more.
Send a personal message to multiple people in the same conversation, or even entire groups!
Create a unique, custom avatar inside of your forum with the new Avatar Maker.
Per-user activity feeds with the ability to follow other members.
Better moderator tools that make moderating our forum a breeze.
The ability to "Like" posts!
A new Visual Editor for creating posts. See exactly what your post will look like while you make it!
Upgraded attachments system that allows you to easily attach even more files to your forum posts!
Lightning fast forum navigation on every page with our new drop-down navigation tree and improved hotkey support.
At the top of each page you can see if any of the topics you've participated in have been recently updated.
Direct access to the forum's HTML and CSS for those hard-to-reach tweaks.
Tagging to bring a member's attention to a post.

While very few major upgrades such as this are seamless and completely bug-free, our involvement with ProBoard's throughout the past 11+ years has clearly shown us all how incredibly stable, secure, and thorough they are. I have every confidence in believing their professionalism will continue in being prevalent through this next phase in hosting our community. Similar to OUR community, I believe their's is second-to-none as well leaving me in trusting the next 11 years will undoubtedly prove to be just as comfy-cozy!

Thank you and enjoy!

Let's hope the new version works even better for techie idiots like me.
	And your point is?.....

Anyone else finding when they click on a thread with a new post that it's taking them to page one instead of the newest post?

Looks like it's been fixed. Site looks good and is working great. Had to finally add an avatar instead of having that alien-looking generic one.

I'll have to get my bearings.
