By far the easiest way to start over from changes in the easy theme editor would be to create a new theme at this time.

For any v6-related questions, comments or feedback, come join us in the dedicated v6 beta board
support.proboards.com/board/176/proboards-v6-beta?

I'm a little slow on the uptake at times so just for clarification were you saying in the future to post questions like this in a standalone thread in the Proboards V6 Beta board?

Yes; this thread is just the announcement of beta -- we're doing feedback / bug reports in the v6 board (:

I paid $50 in December and I am not sure if I could be in for the Beta testing. How do we know if we get to do the beta testing or not?

Hi,

You do qualify for v6 closed-beta access. If you go www.proboards.com/contribute/v6 you should be able to create a v6 forum.

[Nabeela]

Okay, thank you.  Will go and do that now. Thank you again.  I can't use the name of my board I have now. So, does that mean I have to come up with a new board name then?

Nabeela from what I understand, you will need to create a new forum but it will be deleted after the closed beta testing is over. So don't create a forum you want to keep afterwards with this tool

[Nabeela]

Oh, okay. Thank you for letting me know that.

I get this when I try to make a board.
Also, here is a screenshot of my name and how much I paid.

That's odd, looks like there's a bug here that we haven't noticed yet. On the /v6 reward page it will say that you have none, but if you look at your inventory (under Manage Rewards), it will correctly display how many you have available. You can pull up the exact same dialog from the Manage Rewards page and you will most likely find v6 beta as the very last item on the list (I double checked and it's definitely in your inventory).

I've filed this as a bug to get it fixed - for the time being, access it from the Manage Rewards page until this is fixed.

[Nabeela]

Okay, thank you so much.

I have two quick questions about V6.

1. Whenever I save the default avatar shape to square anytime I go back to edit my theme it auto changes them back to round and I have to resave it as square. Is there a way to avoid this issue?

2. My banner logo is just appearing as a small image instead of a true banner now when I use Easy Editor nor can a get rid of the default text in the banner area. I have tried entering the “Advanced Editor” hoping I could change things there but when I click on it I get a blank page? Is this WAI for now?

I would advise posting both of these issues in the Bug Reports sub board of the v6 beta board — both are for sure issues but this isn't the best place to get them addressed (: It might take some time to see changes, depending on what other issues may have priority.

Thanks! I shall do that!

Will the new v6 be available to everyone or only those who pay?

Hi,

Right now we're in closed beta for v6, only available to those who have contributed. 

In the future we will have an open beta (available to all) and after that we'll have the full release. There will be no cost associated with the upgrade from v5 to v6, just like past ProBoards version updates!
