Peaches. [Ch, r. is] the 'recent threads' and 'recent posts' features are at the bottom of the home page Rodze no, it's not possible to downgrade. If you want to hide avatars, I'm pretty sure you could do that with adblock.

Pulse Music Board & Probaords does not support the use of adblocks. Ads are what* keeps this site free.

Well you could enable adblock, disable their default filters that would remove forum ads, and just use it to block avatars.

Either way, idrc, js Another Con: If I want to go the the next page I have to scroll ALL THE WAY UP to the top of the page in order to get to the pages link. Such a nuisance.

Well you could enable adblock, disable their default filters that would remove forum ads, and just use it to block avatars. Most avatars are on image host sites and blocking them would also mean blocking other images on these same sites that aren't avatars (say a picture or a graphic or a single cover). I could hide only the avatars with adblock, but that's sort of pointless since they'll still be downloaded and rendered, then they'll be hidden afterwards. Anyway, can an admin check if there's an option switch? Thanks! Can't believe someone can make a new forum in 2013 that doesn't have this option. Holy shit, I just noticed it puts the avatars even on the goddam quotes. This is now running for the most stupid forum layout I've ever seen. Is Proboards making the non-stupid layout paid for or something? Either way, idrc, js Another Con: If I want to go the the next page I have to scroll ALL THE WAY UP to the top of the page in order to get to the pages link. Such a nuisance. The page links are floats that stay on top of the page wherever you are. Are you using the mobile version? Maybe it's not like that there.

Rodze Maybe you could try asking at Proboards Support? The only thing that really annoys me now is the BIG GIF sigs. Ahem, Josh. I blocked Josh's sig ages ago. :kii:

Rodze: ProBoards is already aware that people would like the avatar hiding option back and plan to add the feature back in a future update. I believe there are plug-ins available in the meantime that other users have created; we'll see what we can do. EDIT: Oh, the plug-in hides the Avatar Builder, not all avatars. Hmm. I'll keep researching, but we may be at the mercy of ProBoards on this one.

I swear in the Support forum I was messing around and it let me copy stuff from Word to the reply box (I believe the full reply box, where it automatically shows you the formatting, and it copied all the coloring, bolding, underline automatically. Now I can't get it to replicate this, which sucks lol. I have no clue what I did, or if I'm just crazy.

Surprised to see the change early...I think it's fine - runs fine on my computer etc. We will just need to get used to it. I thought the "Pulse" banner at the top looked cool when I logged in, like someone else said, but it goes away once you log in? Weird.
Edit: Booooo why is my avatar still tiny? Oh well I've had it the same for like 2 years so maybe it's time for a change... #lazy

Change to the 'v5 dark' theme and it's there :) Edit: Booooo why is my avatar still tiny?

Oh can you remove threads from your Participated section? Having "New" pop up for stupid threads is annoying.

Well, the 25+ messages marked as new suddenly disappeared, so I have no way of knowing whose messages I hadn't read. Well, if anyone sent me something from a few months ago, and I never respond, sorry!

I like the feature, just sometimes you post in a thread and then that's all, you don't care to see what other people have to say afterwards, so removing would be nice. I'll wait for that to be implemented/finished, then. :)

The placement of the likes is strange, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
OMG! And the dang blue Reply button next to Quick Reply is annoying as heck. I keep clicking it to post a Quick Reply when I mean to click the white Post Quick Reply button on the bottom.
ETA: Oh, and I love how after posting, it takes you directly to your post rather than the top of the page.

I must be getting old because I'm already reminiscing for the good old days of classic Pulse. Like yesterday before 7:00pm EST. So who's tried visiting Pulse from their iPhone yet? It's hell I tell you. HELL! - One can no longer see what the most recent thread in a forum is from the homepage
- One can no longer see how many pages are in a given thread and may only enter via Page 1
- One can no longer switch forums without returning to the homepage first

Is there a way to hide all images? I used that option on the old board. It made the board load much faster. Thanks!

I sometimes visit this board at work, and it's a lot safer with the images turned off.

I told my profile to say that I am male, but it's not showing it. Can that be fixed? Also, I noticed that "last login date" is not being shown in people's profiles.

^IP.Board, vBulletin, Xenforo, etc... all cost money. So they will undoubtedly be better in a lot of things. Proboards is free software, and we're also not able to export an existing Proboards board to other forum software. So we're pretty much stuck with whatever Proboards gives us~which is fairly decent for free software.
