Proboards offered to upgrade the Dump to Proboards version 4.5, and because its CHEAP AS FREE, I went ahead and put us in line. Because of the relatively small userbase we've got, the upgrade is expected to take between 10 minutes and an hour; depending. This updates things for us, but I forgot to C/P the upgraded features list, and moto will click this to see PROBABLY before I get back to post it. Fuck it, I'm lazy: support.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=45discuss&thread=227094 |

Well... Some of the stuff sounds neat, but a lot of it is crap none of our boards'll ever use (like showing more than 1,000 users in "Top Users", etc.). Gradients'll be nice, tho. Once the NDP boards get this, expect a slight overhaul.

Yep. That's the real big one, and the only thing that really perked my ears up. No more having to cut shows into five or six parts to fit inside lame character-per-post constraints. Now it'll be surely for formatting purposes!

Word count as in limitation for posts? Yeah, I hate having to split my shows into different posts. Thats totally worth upgrading my fed boards for if I get the chance to do it. I look forward to the Dumpgrade!! ;D |

Woo!
I just checked and the UBL forum was designated to be updated early too!
Not OG-Joshi though. It's like last summer all over again in terms of attention ;D
Holly: "F'n UBL..."

Personally, I was hoping for newer tags...
Like, clickable spoiler tags would be nice. It'd be nice to be able to encode pictures during shows or some such and be able to just tuck them away for clicking pleasure rather than seeing the finish at the bottom of a match spoiled or what have you.
Also, we could hide porn better.

Also, we could hide porn better. I would LOVE spoiler tags for SO many reasons. I don't see any new tags at all. Also, now there's some weird "character rema ining" ticker under this box. But i'll say one thing, the capacity has definitely increased. To test it out, I tried posting the entire text of the previous Battalion show (which JUST fit into two posts in the old proboards software) and it only took about half the capacity of ONE post now! |

I'm kind of impressed with the gradients and such.
No new tags is kind of sad, but, I do see paragraphing options, which I don't immediately recall us having before.
No new smilies, which is sad, but I'll poke about the admin-y stuff to see if we have more.
But, that said... it does look nicer. Has anyone noticed if the loading speed is faster/slower/about the same? It went SLIGHTLY slower for me, but I've got my Virus Busters updating right now, too.

Loading speed seems to be about a hair quicker then before but I'll keep an eye on it over the next week to get a better idea. More tags would have been nice, I think the paragraph one was there before. The gradient is pretty sweet though and honestly, its all worth it for the increased character limit  |

I'm kind of hoping we get more word replacements going on - it'd be nice to introduce some permanent new smilies to go along with the  treatise. |

I have noticed that quote trees in older threads seem to have removed the designation of WHO actually is being quoted, and I figured this thread would be a good place to test. |

There was a bit on the link you gave that says some code might not be immediately ported over. I noticed the quotes missing the OP, too, so hopefully that's something that'll get snapped back into continuity, since the code seems to be the same.
