Revert back to last version?

[Fish]

Honestly, I can't make heads or tails of this new version of proboards. Is there any code that helps revert back to the last version? If not, can anyone supply some links that will help me get updated with the newer version? Plus, my computer is going nuts trying to load up the Admin Map.

There is no way to convert back. In December V4.5 forums will be no more and all converted to V5. But there is always a learning curve with new things but once you get a feel for things, you'll wonder why you wanted to go back to the old version.

Right on the main page there is a board called Help Guide. 

support.proboards.com/board/80/help-guide

You can also read in the templates threads and Plug-in threads. You'll see that ProBoards is super customizable.

If there is something specific you are confused about, feel free to post in the Support board or if you are sure it is a template change (Like you want your menu buttons at the very top of your forum, for example) you can post in that board or if there is a plug-in you are wanting and it isn't listed in our plug-in index, you can make a request for one.

So do the old codes work the same in the newer versions?

No, the codes in the database won't work or 99.9% of them won't.  You have to use plug-ins. There are many already, as you can see:

You can still use your headers and footers to add some things but it is best if you use plug-ins and any css you want to use can be added to the bottom of your style sheet:

Admin > Themes> Advanced Styles & CSS> and click on Style Sheet

Again, if you have any general questions about V5 please post them in support. If you want to change the layout of your site post in templates (http://support.proboards.com/board/45/templates), questions about color schemes (skins) post here: support.proboards.com/board/82/themes

This board is now pretty much for those who are hanging on to their V4.5 site until December.
