Proboards are bringing in another New big upgrade, the V6 Phoenix. Changes will happen for all members throughout this forum, making functionality smoother and faster. For more information click here V6 Phoenix information and new functions. They are removing the mobile screen version, and replacing it with what you see on a main computer. Not all plugins will show the current features until they are upgraded. There is no date at present for the upgrade, but we have 18months after launch to switch when it will be done automatically by Proboards. I will keep you up to date as news comes in All your data (threads and posts), will be stored on the server and transfered over to the V6. The changes will only affect the appearance and functionality of the forum. Reading one of the features, rather than clicking on a seperate screen to post, it looks like the posting will actually take place withing the current thread, enabling you to read the whole thread as you post on it.

The following links direct you to a V6 upgrade thread on Proboards which will affect the running of this forum in the future when it goes through another big upgrade. Currently this forum is the V5. Some things like the calender and badges which we don't use and are unpopular are being removed in the future. support.proboards.com/thread/608571/proboards-announcement-progress-badges-calendar?page=1&scrollTo=6905245This link takes you to the phases that have been changed so far, marked in green there are 8 altogether they have done nearly 4. trello.com/b/4BSVVXt5/v6-public-feature-countdownWhen they do upgrade their forums it will be a lot of change for me and the staff to get used to, but we have been there before with the last one. They do tend to take about 3 years for them to get there and it looks like they could be 60% through it. A lot of the plugins that give you features that you are used to might stop working, as they will be re written and amended for a new system so I will keep my eyes open. Members will not lose any data written on here as it will all be transferred over via Proboards servers. Just keeping you up to date about something that will possibly be over another 12 months away
