Good news Proboards are making some changes to the way the forum works. Details are below.
ProBoards Version 6: Phoenix
The fundamental principle guiding us in improving our platform is the user experience. Everything from the design of the product to the features we provide should engage the user, provide value, and promote meaningful conversations. We want you to have an awesome experience communicating with your friends, colleagues, and other enthusiasts seamlessly across all platforms.
New Features
Below is a list of many of the features you can expect when ProBoards v6 launches.
Responsive Design
Mobile matters. The key to the best experience on all screen sizes is an intelligent responsive design. While ProBoards has supported mobile devices for years, it has not been the same powerful experience that users have had on their desktop computers. We’ve heard your requests for more power, options, and customization on your mobile devices, and we’re finally in a position to provide everything you’ve asked for, and more.
Say goodbye to the limitations of the mobile view! With ProBoards v6, themes will no longer have to rely on a separate mobile version. Your users will get to see every customized detail of your forum no matter the size of the screen or the device being used.
Moving to a responsive design has afforded us the opportunity to take a good look at each page within our forum platform. When v6 launches, you’ll notice that many areas have been overhauled with a focus on simplicity and functionality, making sure that you can focus on the things that matter most, your content and your community.
Plugins
Now that the mobile view is being retired, plugins will be able to run on all platforms. All of your users will get your forum’s customized experience regardless of what device they have close to hand.
New Posting Experience
Joining the responsive design is a brand new WYSIWYG editor. For those who don’t know, WYSIWYG stands for “What You See Is What You Get”, and in v5, is labelled the ‘Preview Editor’. With our new editor we’re bringing an awesome new posting experience to you, with a special focus on streamlining the process to allow you to more easily create the great content that ProBoards users are known for.
When posting a reply to a thread you will no longer need to load a new page. We’ve integrated the full posting experience right into the thread page itself; you can continue to browse a thread while drafting your reply at the same time. No more choosing between a simplified quick reply and the more powerful posting page. This also enables the easiest, most powerful multi-quoting you’ve ever seen.
Upload Attachments from Mobile
Mobile users will be able to upload attachments using their web browser! You will no longer need to rely on an app to post attachments. Our new WYSIWYG editor includes the ability to upload attachments on mobile and so much more.
