Moon, I will have to bribe someone to get me on. Just getting here took me about 5 helpers. POM, I will join you in saying goodbye now - just in case.

Let me try to clarify one thing. The v5 TEST BOARD *does* require a new ID. it's a totally separate message board, solely to try out the new software ahead of its release. the url for the test board is v5.proboards.com THIS board (notmsnmoney) will not require any action on your part when the software upgrades (whenever that may be). everything will happen automatically.

Ok, So I'm a bit lazy . . .less work for me . . . I'll wait until the upgrade.
No more Karma? Oh, I'm devastated (sarcasm). If it's like FB "likes" they don't keep a number on the likes, that is to say they don't keep track of it. (at least not that I noticed, except for so and so and this many other people liked your status) That's not the same as here where it keeps track of every karma point.
*hands out kleenex for those who's life depended on those karma points*

YOO HOO, heart2heart. Are you laughing at me? I warned you the questions were going to be stupid. I am easily overwhelmed with computer carp. I'll give it a try when the time comes, but I don't have the energy to try too hard.

Yups.. You can have all my karma's if you'd like. You will have earned them all just for bringing up laughter in me.. I took the leap and signed into the test site. It's a breeze and I am so not techie, I promise. My ID is heartbeets if you decide to check the place out.. I looked around the place and asked myself "Who in the world are these people?" I came to a duh conclusion and answered my own question. They are people just like us.. ;D

In skimming all of the above I have to tell you I haven't the faintest idea of what you are talking about..Beta ?? Huh , what is a beta and all the other stuff mentioned/ ..basically are you saying in a short time, if one comes in to see what is being posted and argued about one would not be able to read that and if one wanted to post a new thread on some topic or just respond to something some one else had started one would be unable to unless they do what ever ..and no idea what that whatever really is..

Well, I just took the leap and registered at the v5 Support Forum. For those who are intimidated, it wasn't much different than registering here. It just took me a couple of extra minutes figuring out how to attach an avatar, since that's a little different, but it basically looks like this or any other Proboards forum.
I managed to track down Heart2Heart and Virgil and leave PM's for them. I couldn't find you though, Moon. Are you using a different screen nic there?
ETA: I'm using the same Screen nic there as here.

i will find and 'follow' you SL. i use the same screen name, yes.. Ktunes is registered (as K2unes) and posted a link to a video. i've posted on his thread. he was wondering about videos because there's not a "youtube" button. That's because the new version will support MANY different types of videos.. not just youtube.

Ahh - I was wondering what you were talking about after ktunes posted a link only for video. I see now the top buttons have some different iacons than here. (It's all a learning process I guess.) I did notice there's not a box to check off to stay logged-in, like there is here. ETA: Nevermind - there is a button to stay logged in - right where you enter your log-in info.

I'm in as well as myself. Moon I sent you a pm on beta to see if I'm doing it right. I have to figure everything out. It's different. I have a few other websites that I go to that switched over to beta, and it's way better on there now. So I just think getting my feet wet will help. I signed in and out to see what that's like.

I would suggest everyone sign on to the test board, cause it is a wee learning curve involved. One brilliant thing is no brackets for posting script in various colors. I have to try pics and videos. Oh and avatars.

there are some great new features, such as the ability to select multiple posts to quote. also, PMs are threaded like board posts so that you can see the entire conversation.

They only had 3 skin options as far as I could see - Default, "Typewriter", and another I didn't try. I tried out "Typewriter" and it was a nightmare - solid black with pale slime-green text that I could barely read. It took me forever to switch back to "Default", because I couldn't read the text on my profile to see what I was doing.
