Dear All
I have submitted f-stop cafe for conversion to the Proboards V5 platform. This will be done initially on a copy of the existing forum for beta testing.
This can take up to 12 hours and during this time you may notice a slowing down of FSC. This is temporary.
Proboards V5 offers the following features although it will be up to the admins and yourselves which features you choose to adopt. In any event FSC will not undergo any radical change. Version 5 will bring the message board functionality up to modern and competitive standards.
Overview
ProBoards v5 is our new forum software which includes numerous upgrades to your forum. This includes integrated forum notifications, live search (get results as you type your search!), a new single sign-on for all ProBoards forums, a fully revamped forum admin panel, a posting WYSIWYG editor, the ProBoards Avatar Maker, direct access to your forum's HTML templates, "Liking" posts, infinite sub-boards, @tagging members in posts, integrated shoutbox, personal messages with more than two people in the conversation, and literally hundreds more new features!
AJAX Driven Search
ProBoards has taken forum search to the next level. ProBoards v5 introduces our new AJAX driven "live-search" tools that bring up search results as you type. We know that being able to sort through forum content is key, and our new search system delivers the results you expect in the Web 2.0 world.

ProBoards v5 introduces a great new way to stay up to date with your friends. You can easily "follow" other members on the forum to build a customized activity feed for the members you care about.

Activity feeds help you and your members stay more engaged with your forum.

Our privacy controls help you control your forum experience. You can restrict who can see your activity feed, prevent members from following you, block members from sending you messages, hide posts made by specific forum members, and much more.
