Introducing the ProBoards Blog!
Welcome to the new ProBoards Blog, where we will post frequent updates, news, and behind-the-scenes information about ProBoards.
I'm going to start off by talking about where we are, and the direction that we are taking ProBoards.
ProBoards is the largest remotely hosted message board service with over 2,200,000 message boards created through our service. In the next couple of weeks we expect to get our 20 millionth registered member! Over 50 million conversations have been started on our forums accounting for over half a billion posts! We'd like to thank you, our loyal members, for getting us where we are today, and for your continued support!
Currently we are working on releasing Version 4.5 of our message board software to all forums. This process is ongoing, and at this time we do not have an official full-release date. This update includes many new features including increased character limit on posts, revamped polls, new sorting options for threads and members, and much more!
While the full release for V4.5 is on the horizon, we have been long at work on our newest offering, ProBoards Version 5. This is going to be the most exciting update to our forum software yet! There are going to be literally hundreds of new features included in this update. Many of these features have already been previously announced, but I will go into more detail about them in upcoming blog posts.
While we know that our most valuable offering for our users right now is our message board service, but we understand there are other complimentary offerings that our members would find useful. We plan, in the future, to offer image hosting, blogs, and much more.
Check back often for updates!

Well that is great news. Proboards is great as it is but improvements are always welcome.

Proboards is already excellent, yet the idea of an upgrade gets me psyched! I believe you guys will really have loads of excitement on your hands when you do release v. 5. Any speculation as to when 4.5 is released, or even a time frame for 5? Perhaps it's too early to know. In any case, i love the idea of a blog to keep us posted, and want to let you guys know that you'll really be rolling out the red carpet when it comes to giving credit to all those who've worked on every one of the updates and fixed every little bug. Good Luck!

Proboards is by far -- the best message board service on the net. Patrick and his staff proves this year after year ... and for that, I thank you. Keep up the good work!

Can't wait....I tried a lot of forums while looking for mine and have found some ok ones but the whole set up and customization was NEVER user friendly. I LOVE the skins set up at Proboards, really simple to use! I can't wait to see what the new versions have in store for us, Proboards just keeps getting better and better it seems. BTW...I love the blog!!! Will be nice to be up on things!

I love proboards, it has helped me create the community I have always envisioned, I will admit at one point I left (big stupid mistake)!, to see if there was better boards out there, but I returned and for good, trust me there is no better than proboards, proboards makes it easy to create what you need and the support is outstanding. I wish m cable company's support was like proboards!.

Great stuff.
I love Proboards and even though I have a choice of other forums to install on my personal web server account, I still choose to run proboards.
You rock.
