New Favicon / Logo

We have come up with a new logo for ProBoards, and along with it a smaller version will show up in your browser when viewing a ProBoards message board. You should already be able to see it if you are using a modern browser (right next to the address bar).

Here is a large picture of what our logo looks like:



In case you can't see it in your browser, here is the small "favicon.ico":



It may be a while before this logo shows up on our main web site, as we work on a new design to come with the future release of Version 5.

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!
