I've seen this info on other Proboards forums, so thought I'd share the info with Conseekadores
All of the Forums hosted by Proboards (including CSS) will be converting to the new V5 software.
(Supposedly in April sometime, ALL forums will be converting.)
NOTE:
Please update your e-mail address on the CSS forum if it is not current.
After the conversion, the login page will look completely different.
(link to how the login page will look:
You should add Erika's email (creator of the CSS forum) to your contacts, in case you have any problems with
trying to login after the conversion, so that you can email her:
padmeleiajaina@yahoo.com
You might not even realize that it's CSS just by looking at the page.
)
**Instructions of what to do after the Conversion**
>First Time:
1. Click 'login'
2. You will now be on the login page
3. Enter your CSS Forum Username
(the username you signed up with, not your display name) and your CSS Forum Password
4. Go through the upgrade process, to upgrade your login to an email address for v5.
5. Upon completion, you will be back at the forum, logged in.
**if you have an issue during the process where you enter your password and it says invalid,
click "change email", and then enter your email and new password.
Then proceed to upgrade.
>From Then On when you visit the Forum:
1. Click 'login'
2. You will now be on the login page.
3. Enter your Email and Password.
4. If you have only one linked forum account, you will be back at the forum, logged in.
Otherwise, you will select which account you want, and you will be logged in as the one you choose.
>Benefits of V5 software:
* Global accounts.
Every member will be required to upgrade their account to a 'Global' account.
(which is why you will just be logging in with your e-mail address).
If you are a member of more than one forum hosted by Proboards,
this will allow you the option to easily switch between accounts without having to login and out.
There is a small button on the side of any page that you are viewing,
which allows you to switch accounts with just one click.
* Accounts are linked, but remain separate.
* Video for more information on how Global accounts work:

>Profile.
Your profile now offers a lot more than ever before.
It's a bit more 'social'.
You can now leave 'status updates', easier icon picking, follow friends, add friends/etc.
>Threads.
You no longer have to scroll all the way up or down to turn the page.
There is now a 'like' button.
At the bottom of the thread, you'll find 'related threads', and 'stories around the web'.
(which is basically just ads. )
>Shoutbox.
Now everyone has the chance to chat at anytime with anyone.
The shoutbox is placed at the bottom of every page.
