Hey everybody! Just wanted to let you know that the forum will be changing soon.
In some ways, it's good, and it some ways I think it might suck.
Proboards is doing a lot of work & have added a lot of things. The new lay out will be a little different, and it will take some getting used to (that part sucks) but overall, I think it will be a good thing. Always fun for a little change, right?

But will all this useful information still be available/ findable?

yes. All of the forum is supposed to transfer over to the new format.
The searches are supposed be better searches, it has things like a "like" button, etc.
Looks like most of the changes are on the Admin side, which, for me, is great. I'm not super savvy about all this forum stuff, and so far it's looking pretty simple on my end

There's this other forum I go on (also proboard) which have already change, and I find the update sucks, and at first very strange, but you do get use to it.. (it's better on a laptop/computer than a phone... Although I am slowly getting used to that also..

Proboards has a mobile app. It's about $2.00. I find it totally worth it for keeping up in the forum. It sucks for me because currently it has no admin functions, but as far as just general keeping up & reading posts, it's great.

I'm excited we will be upgrading the forum! I'm a member of some other forums that have already gone through the latest proboards upgrade, and I really like the changes! I'm especially looking forward to one specific change which I won't mention, but it will be well worth it!

Its always annoying to get used to a change on a website, but I am sure we will all adjust and survive

... They killed all our pretty forum skins. Those took forever! The autumn one still looks good, though. And I guess the forum tutorials in the FAQ will need redone.
ETA: To change the forum skin, go to your Profile -> Edit Profile button -> Settings tab -> Forum Theme drop-down menu

... They killed all our pretty forum skins. Those took forever! There is a plus side... I can preview "pre made" ones, and then click "save"! You personally know how incapable I am at making skins... lol.
