Proboards Version 4 is coming soon. The upgrade has already taken place on a few of the lower server numbers. Various features have been added including more skin features. The official notice is at support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=v4&action=display&n=1&thread=1115611121. Some additional things I've found are below: - Usernames will no longer be case-sensitive (we don't know how this will affect existing accounts; contact an admin if you cannot login).
- There will be a notice at the top of the board a day in advance before any changes.
- Members will be asked to re-activate by email and confirm their birthday. The activation link is sent to the email listed in their profile. Verify that you can log into your email before confirming the activation. If the email is no longer valid (closed for inactivity, AOL, etc), this may cause problems. With the exception of AOL, most free email services such as Hotmail will make your email available again for registration after too much inactivity. If this happens and the email address in your profile is registered by someone else, do not request activation (or that person may receive it). Contact an admin immediately by email (from the address you would like to appear in your profile and where the new activation will be sent). This is not a known problem, it is just merely a "what if" Emails will be hidden by default in PBv4.
- The Proboards staff recommends that each member change their passwords after the upgrade for added security.
- Custom themes will be removed until the upgrade. No noticible changes will occur except for the Test Board (we will then be working to redo the themes for use with PBv4).

It sounds like a nice long list of well-needed conveniences. I've seen two boards merge into one before, so I'm suspecting that any case-insensitive conflicts will result in something being tacked onto one of the names. How that affects login, I don't remember: ... Hey, maybe this has something to do with it – I assume that means it'll remind us of our username too? This will make the "Tails" trick easier; it'll pick up posts that start w/"tails" without encountering the old "deTails" problem.

This is why we reverted back to Version 3. We will continue as soon as Pat feels better. UPDATE What has happened to him and the whole story.

Rules are rules. You can't change that. Heck, if this happened when I first joined I would be gone as well. I was 12. Anyway, I think it is good becuase it filters out the possible little kid spamming everywhere.

We have no control over it. But now that it's confirmed that everyone here is 13 or older, there is no excuse for people to be posting with awful grammar (lowercase 'i's, etc ). I'm just now noticing we have spell check (please press alt+c before posting to use it ). With the summer coming, things should be active again.

I use lower case 'i's' once in a while when i don't feel like typing. Oops, I just did it. ^^ It varies i guess. Yes, I would really wish to see the board being more active. And I won't be checking in until the night. My friends and I will be swimming all day.

Hey, I've been absent from TAMB for quite a while now. When I tried to log in today, it asked me for my birthday stating that it was in accordance with US law (I'm not from america...) and sending another activation notice. Is this in any way significant? As if ages are a factor in a board dedicated to a furry cartoon character.

This doesn't only apply in the Us , but also for forums alla around the world. It is forbidden to join a forum community if you are under the age of 13. If you are i think you can ask for permission from your parents. But i'm not sure for that

Well, now that this board is "PG-13", we might as well start acting like it. Eh, forget it... I'm too lazy... ; I just came back to TAMB after an elapsed period of absense, and I had to re-activate my account as well. At first I thought it was because I was inactive, but now I see it's due to the update. They didn't ask me for my age though, probably because it's already registered in my account as well over 13. I would have made a new thread saying "I'M BAAACCCCKKKK!!!"... but it's easier for me to just say it here. And I have a habit for leaving and coming back over time, so if I made a new thread every time I come back... well, this message board would be flooded.
