I think it looks kind of nice. It'll take me quite a while to get used to it though, considering I spent ten minutes hunting for the link I should click to be brought back to "Discussion"....even though it's in almost the same place.

While clicking through my new Profile I found the Gift Tab. One can purchase badges and give them to other members. In principle those are a really nice idea, but I'm supposed to pay 2$ (2 real $) to send someone a picture of a badly drawn birthday cake?! For 2$ I can probably give them a a real piece of cake if I get near enough to them. Call me old fashioned but that driving micro-transactions a bit too far.

Yes, I too was wondering what kind of crazed individual would pay a real two dollars for that. That's not even a gift. It's not even a product, like in micro-transactional games that allow you to buy a certain advantage or new content. Having a potato on my page has no functional value other than to signify that someone spent $2 on me. Then you have to ask the question, what does that mean? That they thought I was awesome? That they were congratulating me with a virtual potato? What is the significance of that? Maybe if you were allowed to sign the potato with a vulgar insult and force the user to wear it on their profile, it would be worth two dollars.

It means they wasted $2 on you, since you don't get anything other than a crappy piece of clipart the right to put a crappy piece of clipart somewhere, and ProBoards gets $2 because screw you. Then again, I'm sure there are people who buy hats in TF2.

It'll only do that the first time. Every time after that it'll take you to the actual first new post. This isn't a feature new to this update, it was already like that. It used to remember where you were in a thread for a certain time; if the thread was bumped after that, you'd go to the first page. I hope that's one thing that's fixed now. Ok, pretty sure I never selected a gender for my profile so where did that come from? That's odd. I had gender visible before, but it was turned off in the update so I had to turn it on again. Maybe some update script got flustered and just randomized everything. Win95- surprisingly good Win98- sucks Pretty much in complete agreement with most of your list, but I'm almost exactly the opposite on these. Win95 drove me straight up the wall, but I had a Win98 machine for years and years and loved every second of it. I agree completely, 98 was awesome and 2000/ME are usually counted as one edition to make the rule work. Edit: The board ate this post the first time I hit "create post", emptying the editor and saying "You must provide a post." Insert swearwords here. Luckily I could hit backspace and the post was still there. Edit 2: I just noticed the page selector floating at the top of the page. Did it always do that?

Note to people who configure/write software for this board.
When a reader finishes reading a page, there are a few things he/she is likely to want to do. One of them is: go back to the list of topics on the board, that has annotations for which ones have unread messages.
Now, where is the reader going to be ON the current page at this point? At the bottom, most likely.
So where should there be a link to perform this action?

There is the "back to top" thing, but yeah, it'd be nice to have a direct line back to the main forum down at the bottom.

I'm sure one of us would be able to whip up some user css to help out with the board... The most needed function, though, is "ignore user". To hide inane folk who don't know the difference between phpBB and imageboard and spam blurry badly formatted output of their sad mental processes all over every single thread. Oh, well, there are a few Firefox plugins for that.

Although my mental processes are sad mainly because they didn't know the difference between phpBB and imageboard till I saw TBeholder's post. And the blurry, badly formatted output is google translator's fault. And now for a pic of Paz and Kat having sweet, sweet s... PS: Just ignore me.

It's not "leaked". It's just not potty-trained. The most needed function, though, is "ignore user".

Oh, well, there are a few Firefox plugins for that. Are there many of those? Haven't noticed them so far if there are Not many. There was a specialized addon just for filtering phpBB, but it seems to be discontinued, unfortunately. Of course, there's a lot of phpBB enhancing Greasemonkey scripts - like this. This one hides users on phpBB v3. However, even Adblock Plus can preemptively clean most of the junk, just by filtering image sources for the unsanitary forums' hosts - mostly redirectors (obvious cesspools like "blingee.com" can be blocked globally, no big loss). Your signature's kinda distracting, snipergirl. IMO, anyways. Hate to be a party pooper, but I gotta agree. As great as that gif is. Big ani-gif in signatures are banned on most boards for a reason... An excellent example! Here's a thought: there are several addons showing the original URL... But why even bother? imgur, basically, hides true sources of the images. And it's not like anyone would do it because the clipboard is too short for URLs or because they type it manually. Thus, if someone uses these on a forum, it's almost certainly either spam or an imageboard regurgitation. Because when someone posts actual fanart, they bother to use at least imageshack. So, doesn't it just make filtering easier? Simply adblock "||imgur.com^$image,domain=proboards.com", same for a quick sandbox - dropboxusercontent.com for good measure. Leaving, at most, alt-texts doesn't seem to diminish the meaning in any way - at least, for the messages actually including such anonimized pictures. In case of the abovementioned signature, what's visible to me is a two-words line that seems to indicate that the speaker tries to sit on bunnies. That is, also doesn't seem make it any less or more meaningful.

The most needed function, though, is "ignore user". "Profile" -> "Edit Profile" -> "Privacy" -> "Member Block List" -> ??? -> Profit!

The most needed function, though, is "ignore user". "Profile" -> "Edit Profile" -> "Privacy" -> "Member Block List" -> -> Profit! It's just and then "Save Privacy Settings" button. Viewing sources shows there's "user_block_list" checkbox, which got type="hidden" attribute, and "...-searchbox-container", which isn't visible either. So it's "-> nothing". Edit:
<label>Member Block List</label> <span class="description">Search members to block their interaction with you on the forum.</span><br> <div id="user_block_list" class="checkbox"><input id="form_R1thEnUd_block_list_input" name="block_list" value="" type="hidden"> <div id="form_R1thEnUd_block_list_input-searchbox-container"></div> <script> [...] </script> </div><br>
And to the earlier "why it's so slow" question - well, it was not exactly well-optimized. Or debugged. The validator shows that after it uses 2 CSS, there's 8 "X attribute is obsolete. Use CSS instead." on the loadable page itself. It also generally looks like a nasty pile of "very hacky" attributes ("Attribute X not allowed on element div at this point."), badly drag'n'dropped together ("No space between attributes").

Just tested, and: Works for me. Probably javascript, mind, and browser dependent.
I've got Firefox 21.0, and I've permitted scripts from both proboards.com and prbrds.com, as well as turned off AdBlock for this forum. Any and all could be relevant. Or not. :-\

Same here, but it doesn't work for me. Tried to turn off ABP completely and reload-down-to-proxy the profile editing page, doesn't help. Probably most of bugs here are from fragile scripts... trying to use a pair of CSS that give more than 10 pages of parsing errors in the console. But the block list checkbox does explicitly have type="hidden". For some reason.

Interesting. I have Firefox 22beta. Everything works fine for me; if anyone cares here's the code I got:
<label>Member Block List</label> <span class="description">Search members to block their interaction with you on the forum.</span> <br> <div class="checkbox" id="user_block_list"> <input type="hidden" value="1,2945" name="block_list" id="form_fL80C6vp_block_list_input"> <div id="form_fL80C6vp_block_list_input-searchbox-container"> <div id="user-search-0" class="user-search"> ... </div> </div> <script> ... </script> </div>
