Proboards is adding some upgrades soon, I don't have an exact date but it is completed and being tested now, here are some of the new features and I will give you all more info when I have it. The Forum may have to be shut down for a few hours during the upgrade but I will give everyone plenty of warning.
ProBoards Version 4.5 is a an upgrade to the existing Version 4 software, implementing many of the most frequently requested new features, and rectifying some of the most common issues.
