Howdy All.
I have a message from proboards regarding a new version of the board - looks like there are a few things in there which will be of interest to our group. The update begins on the 29th April.
Some are on the admin side - but by a long shot (im pleased to say) most of the updates are for members and board functionality.
I am hoping they have a good search now - there is a small mention of it but somehow unrelated to the current issues. I like the "like" of posts personally. The custom avatar sounds interesting
See what you think - the list of main changes is shown below, but they do say that there are "hundreds" of changes......
Cheers
