I've had a message from ProBoards saying that they are forcing the switch to their V5 forums on 29th April. (Apparently it's possible to opt out and keep this style of forum until the end of the year...but change is good, right?) If anyone wants a preview - prior to any layout changes, or any behind the scenes messing about by me - then they can take a peek at visitcroatia.freemessageboards.com/. (The forum isn't up to date. Also, it's just a test forum, so please don't switch to using it yet!) The first thing I can see is slightly creepy giant grey baby avatars, for those that haven't uploaded their own! Also, I was rather excited about the ability to give each other "gifts"...until I realised it was the gift of a ProBoards forum, or a Facebook-style "badge". Oh well.

Stylistically, it seems to have gone back in time. Doesn't look good in my opinion.

I'm suspicious. And the real question every serious VisitCroatia-er must be asking is: Will it help PBRK score better in the tipster competition or not? Will Madgolfer be able to gift spare points presents to UTV? This could have all sorts of life-changing implications. kesterj

I didn't try to log in. Will we still be able to bookmark? Change is good.

It looks ok... the only real change that i can see is that everything else seems faded out except the google adwords advert which consequently seems more "in your face". I guess that's the price to be paid for using free forum software? (not you Anna, I mean proboards)

Well, this is what Proboards look like now...no going back to the previous version!
What is the main dislike? Styling? Colours? Usage - it's cumbersome? Something else? I'm happy to play around with the settings more...
