As the admin for our site, I didn't pay attention to being able to Upgrade. Hence I didn't take the opportunity to change my email address. Is there a way to do that for the admin? Click the little gear icon in the bottom right. This will take you to your ProBoards Account settings. You can edit your email there. If you already created a new global account with the new email you wanted to use you can unlink accounts on the same page and then relink them to your new email global account one at a time. Quick question: I have a betazone forum and am considering upgrading my actual v4.5 forum sometime this week, will the betazone forum(and accounts on the beta I've linked to my global account) be deleted upon upgrade? Given that this is the case, we just simply log into our accounts on the upgraded forum and complete the linking process, with no conflict between previous linked accounts(betazone) and newly linked accounts(original forum) with the same username? I believe this is the case, but wanted to post here in case any other users had been wondering the same thing and needed clarification. Your BetaZone forums will not be removed until the end of Betazone which is still months away. When you login for the first time after you upgrade you will be asked to verify your email address. If that wmail address is the same one linked to your account here then you will simply be asked to link your forum account to your already existing ProBoards global account (the one you are using right now here on support). It is likely that your BetaZone accounts are also tied to this global account if you used the same email. You can check by clicking the switch forum icon in the bottom right. That will take you to your accounts page. You will see all your accounts there, including your BetaZone accounts. One of the major points of BetaZone is to allow you a sandbox to practice and perfect a copy of your forum. That way when you do upgrade you have a side by side comparison to help you set up your real forum. You can export themes and plugins from your BetaZone forum and import them into your newly upgraded real forum.

This is a great feature, I can't tell you how excited I was to see all my characters and their avatars just sitting there, waiting to be clicked! LOL
I have linked everyone to the very helpful video. (Where can I get one of those funky white boards?)
My question is: Do all the members need to have an account with Proboards in order to make full use of the Global Account?

Do all the members need to have an account with Proboards in order to make full use of the Global Account? A ProBoards account and a Global account are one and the same. There's no difference. When you members have forum active accounts they will have a ProBoards Global Account. UPDATES FROM THE VIDEO:You DO NOT have to use your email to login. You can use your username still if you wish. However for increased security you can change your login setting by clicking the gear icon below and adjusting your security setting to be Email only login. It's up to you guys now. We streamlined a few of the things I talked about. For example: We removed the step where you had to pick a forum and then an account when using the forum swap icon. Now you just pick any account and jump straight to it.

If the Members do not have there own boards, do they have to go through all this also?
Some member don't like change & to have to bounce from the main board just to get to the only one they are a member of is going to be hard for them, if it harder for them I could lose members.
Also I have & others made all our Skin's, headers will they all go away?
Will I lose all my set up work I have done for 4 years & have to re build the board?
