Now Hosting 3 Million Forums!

ProBoards is proud to announce that our 3 millionth forum was created! This is an amazing milestone for us, and we thank you for your continued support.

We have many exciting changes on the way, so stay tuned for new information regarding our upcoming Version 5!

Introducing Numberless URLs

For quite some time now, ProBoards forum URLs have included your server number in the domain name (e.g. your-forum.proboards40.com). We are happy to announce that all forums have been seamlessly upgraded to numberless URLs.

When accessing your forum through it's normal URL you will be automatically redirected to your-forum.proboards.com. All redirects are seamless and will direct you to the correct page you were attempting to access at the old URL.

Forums which use custom domains are not affected by this change.

Scheduled Maintenance on 2/14

On Saturday, February 14th at 3:00am Pacific we will be performing scheduled maintenance on all servers. Approximate downtime will be 15 minutes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hurricane Ike

With Hurricane Ike headed towards Texas, we are taking precautions by performing an extra backup of all forum data at our data centers in Houston. This may result in slowdowns for those who are on servers 52 - 107. More information available here.

Version 5 Demo Video

We've released a new Verision 5 Demo Video for your viewing pleasure. While we won't be moving towards a beta this month, we felt it would be good to make a video showing some of the great new features you can expect to see in the future.

If you'd like to join in the discussion regarding this video, head on over to this thread on ProBoards Support.

Server Upgrades

Some of our servers are running on older hardware, and today we're going to start moving data from some of these older dual-core machines over to brand new quad-core servers.

This upgrade should be seamless from a user's perspective. Any large forums may take up to a few minutes to transfer, and during that time we will be displaying our standard "Backup in Progress" message.

The following servers will have their hardware upgraded with this move:

25, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, 77

This process may take up to a few days to complete for us to get through all of these machines.
