If you are having problems or have basic questions or suggestions, feel free to talk about it here. I'm locking the previous thread so we can keep the "pre" and "post" v5 threads separate and easier to navigate.
Previous Thread
Global Login Setup for Current Posters:
When you first arrive at the V5 Board, choose LOGIN and you will see this page:
Enter your F.A.N. username (not necessarily your screen name) and password. This will then take you to setup a Global Login where you will link that with your F.A.N. username and password. You do not need to create a new F.A.N. account.
Preview Posts before posting:
For those of you that liked to preview a post before posting, this has changed. Instead of hitting “Preview” to see a post, you can now post in what as known as “Visual” mode. When on “Reply” page, look to the lower left of the box where you type and you will see tabs for “Visual” and “BBCode”.

Click on “Visual” and you will see how you post will look as you create it. You can make this your default mode to post by going to edit your profile and then choose the settings tab, look for “Posting Default” and clicking the box next to Visual.

I’ve used the spoiler tag to hide the pics but you may notice there is no button for it (yet). To use the spoiler tag you have to type in [ spoiler ] What you want to hide[ / spoiler ] just remove the spaces between the brackets.
What are follower and what are they good for?[/u]
From Patrick the President and CEO of Proboards:
A couple things. You can view the "Following" tab in your profile to see what people you are interested in are up to. Also, if you follow someone, when you use the "user search box" to search for a member the people you are following will automatically come up higher in the search results.
