I like the new look of the boards! Great job doing so I miss the "View 25 Latest Posts" button. Not complaining, I appreciate the free service and Marv's tireless efforts to keep the place running, but I thought I would leave my input.

Isn't this the long-awaited ProBoards update that they've been advertising for ages? If so I expect Marv has a bit of work ahead smoothing out all the "upgrades" ...

Yuck! Call me old-fashioned, but I much preferred the old look. It's not great on the desktop, and it's worse on my tablet.

No more exalting great wisdom any further? Otherwise, I can't say I've a problem with the new layout.

I'm sure exalting is a plug-in that needs to be redone. If there is anything I can do to help, I'd love to do so

Please re-enable the "print thread" feature... it is absolutely essential for running a PbP campaign...
Another feature I miss, if it is possible to bring back, is when you read to the end of a page, there used to be a link at the bottom to get to the next page. It is uninuitive to have to go to the top instead of the bottom to keep reading.

I'll look to see what I can do to make things as similar to the old board as possible. I need to poke around the Admin section to see what options are there.

I'll confess that wandering the Admin menus are pretty counter-intuitive compared to the earlier version. Lots of things I could do quickly appear to be either removed or hidden. Strange.

Please re-enable the "print thread" feature... it is absolutely essential for running a PbP campaign... To be specific, it is not the ability to print that I miss (my browser has a Print function)... it was the ability to see an entire thread at once. Some of the PbP threads are 20, 30, 40 pages of posts... How do I condense that onto 1 page for easy reading with the new software?

Lots of counter-intuitive stuff... Like the New Posts link (renamed "Recent Threads") is moved to the bottom. Because: why would you want to click on that first?
Edit to add: Oh, and I don't see that Recent Threads lists where each thread is located. Naturally, I skip the threads in forums I'm not interested in. The new URL scheme, while better in some ways than the old all-numeric scheme, also provides no clue as to what the topic might be.

We seem to have lost our logo, although my admin section swears that it's still set up as our default image. Anyone see a logo? I'll keep searching. The avatars/icons for folks who haven't picked an avatar/icon is kind of annoying. Perhaps I should delete all accounts who haven't picked an avatar/icon.

I have to say that is a bit odd. The default imagine that is. I'm not that experienced with proboards (most of my forum moderation/administration has been with phpBB), I'm wondering if you may have to change some coding with the 'Original D&D Discussion' at the top.

The most frustrating thing for me right now is clicking on the "new" icon for a thread no longer takes one to the first new post.
And not to mark a board read, one has to drop down menu instead of just clicking a link.

Hmm. Interesting. I can't say that the new look is an issue for me, no better or worse. For the record, no logo up top for me either.
Yeah, the missing <<PREV 1 2 3 NEXT>> buttons from the bottom of the thread were pretty handy. Hope you can find those again Fin. Good luck getting this all running smoothly again. I'm sure it'll be worth the aggravation once you're done.

The new Icon works for me in bringing me to the newest post I haven't read yet.
The page moving at the bottom is nice, but the new version at the top is much more useful than the old boards version.

Have to get used to the new look. Fixing the little bugs sounds like a bit of an arduous task for the moderators. I do miss the exalt thingy

The new Icon works for me in bringing me to the newest post I haven't read yet. Do you mean the "[NEW] Participated" button in the top right of the screen? If so, I think you'll see that it only returns the newest posts in threads that you have participated in. It doesn't show you new posts in threads you haven't posted in :/

Ah, apologies... I wasn't following the thread closely enough. @dubeers; I also noticed that this still works: odd74.proboards.com/posts/recentYou can bookmark that one and get pretty much exactly what the old button used to return

no need to apologize. Sorry if I came off snarky, if only text could contain tone D:
Nice call the with /recent though!

What I liked about the old board was getting 25 (no more, no less) hits when I used the "25 Latest Posts" button.

Ok, new grumble, the Actions menu drop down mark board read clears all the new flags, but if I go back to the same sub-board, they are all back.

ffilz I think since the board updated, it won't work as 'new' until you've already seen the thread previously on the new layout. that is what seems to be working for me.
