Hi
v6 is on hold:
support.proboards.com/thread/673246/proboards-v6-development-status-update?page=1#scrollTo=7319870

[sergeim]

Is my site gonna get upgraded when it does happen?

[Scott]

sergeim - whenever we had a new version (final release, not beta), forums were upgraded to the latest version. I would assume this would still be the case moving forward.

[sergeim]

Okay thank you for that big update I love it

[sergeim]

About how long will it take for the updates to happen on all the websites you have currently

I do not get what hold means I do not get it

Version 6 is is on an indefinite hiatus. So are developments and feature requests for Version 5. You cannot upgrade your forum to Version 6 at this time as development has stopped.

Why did it stop in the 1st place what caused it to happen?

Did you read the first post of the thread you were linked to? There's a pretty clear explanation regarding the reason development stopped. There are a few of factors, so it's best you read the thread. If you have additional questions about what was said, I am sure the PB admins will be happy to answer (if they are able — they may not be able to answer some questions due to confidentiality).

Hello to our wonderful administrators, moderators, and forum members.


It is with a heavy heart that today I must announce the suspension of work on ProBoards Version 6. With the changing landscape of our current economy, we’ve found it necessary to reprioritize projects and have had to place v6 on indefinite hiatus.

Let me say it has been a pleasure working with many of you on bringing v6 into existence. Your feedback, thoughts, ideas, support, and suggestions have been invaluable.


I want to reassure everyone that nothing is changing in regards to v5 and ProBoards will continue to provide free self-serve communities to anyone who wants to start their own forum. V6 beta forums will remain online and functional. ProBoards is still supported by a small but dedicated team. Support will continue to be offered 5 days a week from 9am to 5pm Pacific.


ProBoards continues to remain a home for the wonderful, diverse, and enthusiastic communities we host. Without your unbridled dedication ProBoards would not be the remarkable place it is today. Your communities have given us direction, purpose, and a reason to keep working hard. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of the ProBoards family.


Michael

I get that but there's a reason behind it and I don't see the reason I'm reading it and I don't see it

Which part of it is unclear to you? Be very precise, explain clearly what information you are looking for and how / why what was written in the post doesn't have that.

Because there's a hidden reason behind it that's what I'm looking for the hidden reason

Well have fun with looking for that, I guess? If you do not believe PB's statement at face value, then there is nothing we can do to help and there is no further point to this line of questioning.

[sergeim]

Well you never explain to me when will it resume because it's on hold right now but what date will it resume

I haven't explained when it will resume because there is nothing to explain. Indefinite hiatus means they do not have a date to resume work, and may never resume work at all.

[sergeim]

Well that means this thread is open until my question answer is answered
