Proboards v.5 Review

Review of Proboards v.5

A discussion thread what do you all think about Proboards v.5? By the way Kaeor did the review guys so remember to thank him.


EDIT: Don't let Kaeor's modesty fool you guys. It was him. He told me so himself.

I really like the page bar scrolls down with the page, its a good addition. Like and dislikes everyone likes to do so it would be nice to have that on the site. The pop up of recent threads is also very nice, everything looks like its becoming streamline which is always awesome.

I think when you tag the staff its going to annoy them like hell when they get notified in posts lol

Yeah there's a few things I don't like. I don't like the likes honestly I've never did. In fact that's why I removed the Karma shit on NFRP. If there will be a way to remove the Like Stuff I will. The easier navigation is a plus so I'll enjoy that. The Tag shit will totally annoy the fuck out of me and a lot of people so I'll see about removing that as well for Staff.

The "Oh you can find out who people are" which I've seen in another area bothers me as well. It feels to Social Network for my taste.

Would make sense.

Everyone is trying to make that push to turn their shit into some wannabe myspace/facebook.

agreed i hate how every site is trying to become a social network now.

I would simply like to say this is proboards, not ning or spurz, we shouldn't be moving towards social networking we should be moving towards forums networking, ya know? Also I am very much liking their new navigation options very much, its simple and fast, though its basically the same we have now, just looks smoother. No true opinion on the shout box...it seems like the Admin will have the power over all the options there so it could turn out pretty damn good. Tagging and Likes, totally bullshit.

forums are social networks.
proboards does forums

a lot of the features can probably be toggled on and off by the admin

they have not even finished making the admin panel yet and are also still putting a lot more features into proboards.

there are so many little details that makes it better and more user friendly.

notifications are awesome, they are a lot better than the notifications on the current proboards. you can opt in or out of receiving notifications for certain things so I doubt staff would get too annoyed/flooded with notifications. without the notifications the tagging is just linking to peoples profiles.

been waiting for this

Pretty much only function I like is live search. If this turns into facebook and has 'likes' and stuff I may vomit.

Shoutbox isnt really needed considering our Cbox too. And the avatars scare me.
