I much rather enjoy the latter example of Khrazy's work, including the darker colours. Although that may be just my masculinity kicking in.
Is there really any chance our forum's layout will change in the near future?

Edited poll... Can I suggest making the "check" (X) another color with a black shadow, just so it doesn't look so one dimensional. Maybe just make it that blue.

I just went to login to another Proboards forum that I use a fraction as much as this one and they'd been upgraded. For a start there wasn't an option to login at the bottom of the page anymore, which is annoying. But more importantly it took me to a page on proboards.com where it asked me to confirm my login or something and told me it would use it across all Proboards websites? Fortunately my username/password/email is the same on that other board as it is here, but I'm not sure quite how that's going to work if I understood what it meant correctly.

It's going to be really annoying to have to forget the Alt+S... Anyway, does anyone know what happens when you tag someone in a post? Do they get some sort of notification? Also, can you type in their display name, or does it have to be their username (for example, could I just type in "josh" or would I have to do "joshw2011")?

You get a notification. I'm not sure if it pops up in real time like FB, but something at the top will pop up, just not sure if it requires a refresh to pop up or not. And I'm pretty sure it is josh, since multiple people can have the same display name. And yeah alt+s will be hard to change haha. At least c is close to s?

For tagging purposes, it has to be their username, not their display name. However, there's a button above the reply box that's for tagging. You click on it, and search for a user (by display name), click on it, and it will tag them. This way, you don't have to memorize every person's original name (aka their username).

A little shameless self promo here, but I run a ProBoards music forum myself--country music only...sorry to all y'all city slickers, lol Well I've upgraded to V5 and I really, really like it. I'm not an expert in different templates and stuff but I've added in a few features and tweaked the colors to my liking. You can check out my forum here. The icons I used are similar to the ones Krhazy showed in his test forum (hopefully that's ok...) but I may still see if I can find some better ones, as I'm not entirely happy with the ones I have. They're ok, and I think I'm on the right path, but I feel like they're still missing just a little something when it comes to looks.

...sorry to all y'all city slickers, lol Not fussed about subverting stereotypes, are you? Does the new search work any better? It's much better. There's a search bar at the top of every page and you can filter by poster.

...sorry to all y'all city slickers, lol Not fussed about subverting stereotypes, are you? I was being sarcastic lol, since I know most of the people that have come to this thread aren't big fans of country music, and that's what my forum's about. I'm actually from a very small town but I'm currently living in Phoenix and I know a LOT of people that were born and raised here who love country music. I never say "all y'all" myself, either. Oh, and yes, the search function is great.

I'm really excited about the change now.
I submitted two themes to Pulse a few weeks back, but I actually recently discovered a few things I needed to edit. I'm waiting to submit again in case I find any other issues, so that I don't annoy the admins.
I believe forums that want to can now convert at any time. The automatic date of conversion is April 29th, but Proboards says it is going to offer an extention for administrators who want to stick with v4 until the end of 2013. I hope Pulse doesn't do that -- I was skeptical of the change at first, but I really really like it now. So many new features and it just looks much nicer.

Could I ask that we're warned 2 days or so before the change if we do it early? There are few things I'd like to save in case something goes wrong. lol

I hope this is changed sooner than later. I'm kind of excited about the prospect of an updated pulse now.
Oh, and just curious but will our post count be reset to 0 as well?

I don't think so. I think all of that kind of data is preserved, because all the posts themselves are preserved.

Does anyone if we can have multiple people in one PM thing? That would be cool, I think.

Ok so in v5 you can have a PM with more than 1 other person. I don't know what the limit is, I just tested with 3 total people. Too much work to create 2 other accounts lol. i.imgur.com/L6umhYY.pngBut everyone's messages show up in one thing, basically like your own private thread. Very nice, imo, even for 2 people like we're used to it's handy not to have to keep quoting. No clue how old PMs will transfer over, and then this will likely mess up people's PM counts getting huge in the future still. Not sure how it works if you have 2+ PMs going with the same person, if it lets you do that or not.

I'm assuming we're just going to wait for it to automatically switch, no?

I think Matt (the one who technically "founded" Pulse, not me) would have to initiate it since he's head admin. I don't even know if he logs on anymore, so I think we'll be auto-switching by default.

Matt4319 last posted on November 10, 2012. On July 19, 2006 he started a topic titled "Stepping down as administrator" but his title is still listed as Administrator.

He's still around, though, and I tweeted him the other night to let him know and he said he'd talk to Ethan about it. *bows*

We're still working things out. A date should come soon once it's all figured out.
