Having been on V4 for only a few minutes now, I can already see how much I hate it. How nice.

Supposeddly it has to do with a US law or something, to make sure we're old enough to be online or something.
I think they also want to track us.

Thanks SP. Hey, is it just me or are you guys having trouble making connections too. I have gotten the too many connections message about 30 to 40 times now. Anybody know what is going on, because I can't get from one page to the other without getting it. Shan

I've been getting the same problem Shan, hopefully this is just a minor kink that will be ironed out.

I hope you are right guys. This is horrible. It makes you want to just give up and find something else to do. Like you said I sure hope it is just a kink that will be ironed out soon. Shan

Having been on V4 for only a few minutes now, I can already see how much it's like the past version.
I do like the quick post option, but everybody seems to have a bigger avatar than me..

Solution to small avatar for Hector. Resize it to a larger size and then use the larger one. Shan

Just trying the new boards for the first time. It'll take some getting used to, though there are some things I like.
The annoying thing for me? The activation code. I had problems getting mine until I changed the address I was using.
All is, however, well now. The longest 24 hours in world history are now over at least. ;D
Edit: I see your point on the "Too Many Connections" now. Got way too many of those for my liking. I hope this won't be a recurring problem.

Hmm. I am not amused. It looks like all the admin-set avatars are being forced into the 100 X 100 requirement. So all the avatars I've submitted are being truncated by the default system. Which means having to go through the avatars and redo them all. Again. Irritating. Also means I can't use my Gray Lensman avatar because it needs the proportions I've set for it. Sigh. But hey... at least we have a board.

I know what you mean, Shan. Even though we haven't been around that long, it's just not the same when the board's down. But we're back in business, with a new board, and we can start anew.

The new board blows, so does mine. I'm greatly disappointed that the boards where down for nearly two days, for such a non-existant, and in some cases, inhibiting "upgrade"

It's not so small originally. That's my only complain. I have only recieved the busy server notice once when I was asking for verification, other that that it's been smooth.

The boards automatically resizes anything that's larger than 100 X 100 pixels, Hector. Put in anything bigger in the width and height fields, Proboards will resize it so it's smaller.
You can set the size to be anything within your profile, but 100 X 100 is the board-set limit. Unless Elliot knows something I don't, I'm afraid there's not much I can do about that.
We got around this before by installing larger pics as "official" board pics. But now it seems that we can't even do that.
Annoying, but not much that can be done for it.

There are a lot of good new functions from the Admin POV, so I cannot say I am unhappy at all. The Avatar problem is a definite annoyance, though.
Hec, if you resize your image to 100x100 then put that in in the boxes, you should be fine. If they haven't changed it, though, they have 'Height' and 'Width' the wrong way around, which might be what is affecting your avatar.
I'm only just nosing through, so haven't found everything yet. If I find a way to change Avatar sizes, I will...
