Alpha 2 has concluded. Beta coming soon in a separate announcement.Long overdue, but it’s finally here. Another chance at trying out v6 right here on the support forum! Once again, you can go to your profile here on ProBoards Support and set your theme to the “v6 Alpha” theme. Let’s start off with a few notes to keep in mind while discovering the new version: This is an open Alpha. Expect bugs to be present! Most functionality is working, but expect some things to be broken or behave unexpectedly. Let us know when that happens! The alpha is only available on the ProBoards Support forum. No other forum will have access to this (yet). We want your feedback! Read below for more info on how to do that.
How to access the ProBoards v6 Support Forum Alpha 1) Go to your profile page 2) Click the Groups tab 3) Click "Join Group" next to the "v6 Alpha Tester" group 4) In your Profile Settings, change your Theme to "v6 Alpha" 5) Enjoy v6! Providing feedback Visit the Alpha 2 Feedback board and leave us a message! Please try to keep your message constructive, and provide us details and examples of areas you like, or dislike. Please be detailed in your feedback. Links to specific pages you are commenting on and screenshots are appreciated. The more details and thoughts we receive, the more actions we can take. Found what you believe is a bug? Something isn’t working how you expect it to work? A feature did not work at all? Report it in the Bug Report board! We only ask that you follow the instructions for filing a bug report, and write in a clear and understandable language. We must be able to understand and reproduce the bug to be able to fix it. Reported bugs will be added to our work list as the alpha moves along, so you might see some fixes appear during the course of testing. What’s changed since the first alpha? A number of changes will be immediately apparent, but some might be hiding under the hood. Here is a brief list of things to check out: Refreshed look and feel of boards and threads New per-user generated default avatars Mini avatars now contain extra info about the user - hover over (or touch) an avatar to check it out Updated mini profiles, with changed focus on likes rather than post count (don’t worry, the posts are still counted, and you can always add post counts to the mini profile, if desired) New FAB (floating action button) actions and animations ...and more!
What’s broken? As with any software in testing, some things will be broken. Currently, the following features are disabled or non functional: What’s coming up? Quality of life improvements all around! With the final touches of the front end of the forum, we’ll be focusing on making the use of the forum as easy and convenient as possible. We’ll be making some requested updates to the floating WYSIWYG, including the already mentioned highlight-to-quote feature, and the resizability or perhaps movability of the window itself, on top of many minor improvements. Fairly soon we also expect that we will be starting the beta - allowing you to install a v6 theme on your forum, or a test forum. We are still ironing out the details surrounding the beta so please keep an eye out for that announcement when we're closer to that stage. Frequently Asked Questions

SO EXCITING! Thank you, guys! EDIT: Matej or whoever, how come my post has the mini-profile on the right but the 2 posts below me are on the left? I originally figured it was alternating by posts, but since both following mine are on the left, mine is the abnormality

EDIT: Matej or whoever, how come my post has the mini-profile on the right but the 2 posts below me are on the left? I originally figured it was alternating by posts, but since both following mine are on the left, mine is the abnormality It's a little something we're trying out. Everyones own posts have the mini profile on the right - making it a little more distinct between your own and everyone elses posts (and what your eyes scan for when you see a page).

I originally figured it was alternating by posts, but since both following mine are on the left, mine is the abnormality It's a little something we're trying out. :) Everyones own posts have the mini profile on the right - making it a little more distinct between your own and everyone elses posts (and what your eyes scan for when you see a page). Ohhh, interesting. I think that's a very cool feature on the default theme! But to check, as it isn't something I'd want on my personal forum due to its particular aesthetic, is that something we'll be able to "turn off" on our own forums? I imagine through the equivalent of layout templates or some such? On Support, though, very neat!

I originally figured it was alternating by posts, but since both following mine are on the left, mine is the abnormality I like it. To me it seems organized and interactive. Leads your eyes to "go back and forth" as if you are reading. That is how I learned it in web design class (organize to lead the users eyes over the page) -- it makes it easier to read the post.

Would Patrick ever consider allowing us to download ProBoards and put it on our own servers? If he doesn't want that to be free, I'd understand.
This is great.

I think it's cool that the mini profile floats with long posts.
