Proboards ilmoitti seuraavaa:
"We are asking the owner of each forum to select the category that best fits the content of your forum.
If you would like more information about this, please continue reading below.
Why are we asking you to select a category for your forum?
There are a couple reasons, which are: • We plan to use these categories as part of our upcoming Forum Directory service where we will allow your forum to be listed in a directory on the ProBoards.com site. Don't worry -- if you don't want to be listed in the forum directory, you won't have to. It will be entirely opt-in when it launches. Once it does launch, it will be a great way for new people to find your message board. • This category will use this information to better target relevent advertising to your forum. This will not add any new advertising to your forum.
Please note that in the future when we launch our Forum Directory you will have the option to select a more precise sub-category for your forum that will be more specific to your board's interest."
Eli tiivistetysti Proboards aikoo kategorisoida fooruminsa tiettyihin aihealueisiin, jotta uudet käyttäjät löytäisivät helpommin mieleiseensä yhteisöön, ja jotta mainokset voitaisiin kohdistaa paremmin yleisölleen. Listautuminen yleiseen foorumihakemistoon on vapaaehtoista. Valitsin Myrkille kategorian "Entertainment". En kuitenkaan usko, että meidän kannattaa jatkossa sen kummemmin kategorisoitua, koskapa foorumi on pääosin suomenkielinen, eikä siis todennäköisesti aukea ulkomaalaisille kävijöille.

Sain hiljattain Proboardsilta kutsun rekisteröityä testaamaan "Proboards v5 Closed Beta"-softaa. Moiseen minulla ei riitä aika. Lähinnä ajattelin nyt kääntää tähän joitakin viestissä mainittuja uudistuksia. Kuulemma uuden sukupolven foorumiin on tulossa satoja päivityksiä "supernopeasta hakutoiminnosta viestien Like-buttoneihin, ilmoituksiin ja avatarinluomiseen, sisäänrakennettuun shoutboxiin jne. jne." Tähän mennessä foorumi on päivittynyt automaattisesti uusimpaan versioon ja voi olla että näin käy v5:nkin kohdalla. Jäädäänpä siis jännityksellä odottamaan tulevaa... =) Lopuksi perinteinen neuvo pitkästä aikaa: Vuoroista on suositeltavaa ottaa logit ja tallentaa ne omalle koneelle jos tahtoo pelata varman päälle. Foorumi on toiminut loistavasti monta vuotta mutta aina voi jokin mennä vikaan ja systeemit kaatua syystä tai toisesta. Pitäkää siis mielenrauhastanne huolta ja rakkaat pelit varmassa tallessa! -R.C.

"IMPORTANT: New Forum Domains Available! « Message sent Today at 6:30 » ProBoards is thrilled to announce that we are now offering an exclusive opportunity to all forum owners. We now officially support two new domain names for your forum: username.boards.net and username.freeforums.net! As a loyal ProBoards forum owner, we'd like to thank you and give you the first chance to secure the URL of your choice before these names become available to the general public. That's right: for a very limited time you have first dibs on selecting a new forum URL with these premium domain names! Unless another forum owner beats you to it, your forum can have a fantastic URL such as "sports.boards.net", "roleplay.boards.net" or even "music.freeforums.net". The possibilities are endless....for a brief period. Once they're gone, they're gone! Keep in mind, if you decide to switch your existing forum to a new URL, all posts, content, and members will remain intact. Then, for two weeks after the URL change, we will automatically redirect visitors from your old forum URL to the new one. Thank you for being a fantastic part of the ProBoards community! We would appreciate if you could take a moment to vote for ProBoards in the yearly forum-software.org contest. In 2011 ProBoards was voted Best Free Forum Host and we plan to keep that title. Click here and vote for ProBoards -- it only takes a few seconds! The ProBoards Team" Eli suomeksi saimme proboardsilta tarjouksen vaihtaa foorumin url-osoitetta myrkmeren.proboards .com:ista myrkmeren.boards.net:iksi tai myrkmeren.freeforums.net:iksi. Itseäni tuo "pro"-etuliite url:ssä ei kyllä ole hirveästi haitannut, joten sikäli muutos olisi aika pieni... Lopuksi viestissä oli vielä vetoomus äänestää proboardsia vuoden parhaaksi foorumiohjelmistoksi oheen linkitetyn sivuston kautta. -R.C.

Viestissä siis kerrotaan että foorumi tullaan lähiviikkojen aikana päivittämään versioon 5, mutta viestin yhteydessä ei ollut päivämäärää. Luulin että päivitys olisi jo tähän mennessä tehty, kun siitä kauan sitten ensimmäisen kerran ilmoitettiin.

Hui, nyt foorumi päätti sitten päivittyä. Kuvabannerit ja karmapointsit näyttävät ainakin kadonneen. Yritän viikonloppuna ehtiä palauttamaan kuvat mikäli se on mahdollista.

Banneri ja buttonit on palautettu. Foorumin alalaidassa on nyt shoutbox, jossa voi ehkä jopa pelata? Viestien merkkiraja on 256. Ei ole tietoa kuinka pitkään viestit boxissa pysyvät, mutta mahdollisesti ne alkavat kadota 200:n lähetetyn viestin jälkeen, koska tämän verran viestejä voi ylläpito tarvittaessa muokata/poistaa. Shoutboxi on tällä hetkellä avoin myös vierailijoille, mutta jos tästä aiheutuu paljon häiriötä ja asiatonta mainontaa, niin oikeuden voi rajoittaa myös rekisteröityneisiin käyttäjiin.
-R.C.
