Forum Software Similar to PBv4

[elli]

This is an odd question, but there's a software out there that looks like ProBoards v3 or v4, and I can't remember what it's called. Does anyone know the one I'm talking about? Like it looks exactly like the old PB.

I'm just wanting to paste some old code from a v4 skin and get some screenshots. It would be nice to somehow emulate v4, but I know it's gone for good.

Here's a v4 theme you may want to take a look at

Are you thinking of hyperboards? If so they recently updated their look so they don't look very old PB anymore.

EDIT: Maybe conforums? They also updated their look but it's still PBish.

Unfortunately, if the goal is to utilize a piece of code intended for v4, 3rd party software that resembles the old version still isn't going to work because a lot of them function based on the specific HTML structure of v4 forums.

If you go into more detail about what you're trying to do, elli, there may be some other way we can help

Ugh yes, Conforums, thank you. I couldn't remember wtf it was called.

T.C. Thanks for that link, this can be my backup plan.

David Clark I had a skin for v4 that got lost when all boards were automatically upgraded to v5. Thankfully, I had the forethought to save all the headers/footers and colors, but apparently not to take screenshots of the full board ): Because this skin was designed in the browser, and therefore has no PSD, I don't have any reference for what it looked like save for one low-res cropped image. So I figured if I could find this forum software similar to v4, I could paste what information I do have to try and recreate it. It's mostly CSS and a little JS to remove certain elements.

If you have another way, I would be very interested, because although Conforums is similar, it probably won't end up looking exactly like the original.

If you know what URL this site had, you can check archive.org/ and punch it in to the "Wayback Machine" field to possibly pull up a cached version of the site as it existed in the past, elli.

David Clark WBM has a cached, distorted version of the main page, but it didn't crawl any further than that. ):

Maybe Google has a cached page from the ideal time period? If not, I'm not sure what else to suggest, sorry.
