What' so wrong with ProBoards? For a free server, it seems to hold up pretty well, given the sheer amount of traffic we see here. Only thing I don't like are the filters and the banner ads, that can range from embarassing (Homosexual dating ads have come up more than once) or just gross (Some dude eating a spider that freaks me out when I see it)

Looking through FreeForums.org's TOS, I don't see it as any better than ProBoards. In fact, I don't want to get sued by them because some troll posted nudie pictures on the forum.

Yeah...honestly I think we're just fine right here. No real reason to up and go somewhere else when what we've got works.
Plus, I actually happen to like the filters. I mean, swearing is a huge part of my vocabulary and all..but I still like the filters here. It's not that big of a deal really.

Nah its not a big deal, but there are some times I need to convey an anger that "smurf" just doesn't do justice to. But with that said, I agree that we're fine here, was just throwing in my unwanted 2 cents. ;D

The filters are set by the board admin, not ProBoards. Just for future reference.

Well, PhpBB and vB are better for the administrative side of things.

I admin a proboard...that being said I think it's fairly easy to run one as it is. And after the stuff that came with that ridiculous update, hopefully it'll be easier.

Not to mention, a board this size would probably only change servers under extreme circumstances. Barring an incident like the EZBoards one, I think things will pretty much remain as is.

This isn't a question, but I like this color scheme a lot more than the last one. Good job whichever staffer did it.

There's something I've noticed in some of the polls since the change up.
It lists the number of votes and voters. But how are some polls showing less voters to votes? Do some posters have the ability to vote more than once?

Do some posters have the ability to vote more than once? The polls have had some significant changes made to them. You can now let people ... - Choose more than one option - Hide the voting until after the person has voted - Create a time delay on locking the poll and revealing the result. - Allow people to retract there vote.

This page took too long to generate and has been stopped. A log of this error has been reported to ProBoards Support.
I've gotten that message 5x's in possibly 10 minutes. It seems like the site is taking much longer to load also.

It seems like the site is taking much longer to load also. It's about twice as fast to load for me now... I'll mention it on the Support boards and see if anything behind-the-scenes changed on the server other than the upgrade.

Strangely enough, it wasn't even a problem at a ProBoard I admin for a philanthropy I work with (though our traffic is about 1% of what goes on here).

It is better now than it was last night and when I checked again this morning.

What's the deal with quotes now? I was looking at the ones in my sig & the screen name of the posters as well as the link to the thread they posted in has disappeared. Is this to do with the whole update thing? 'Cause this is about the only thing I dislike about it so far (that & the fact that the board is now slower than ever for me).

I'm having a problem with the "Preview" button. When I hit it, it just posts.
