• A new notifications panel that will alert you when you're mentioned, quoted, etc.
• Notifications update in real-time, so no need to refresh the page to see alerts.
• All themes are now responsive, which should improve browsing the forum on mobile devices.
• There are 7 or so themes now on the site. So make sure to check them out in your preferences.
  • If you want any of the old themes ALLAN-Subsilver is the closest to the default and prosilver still exists.
• Apparently there are more emojis, but I can't find them and it wasn't a high priority.
• You can now upload images to Imgur directly from a post and the link will automatically insert into your post.
• You can now use the @ character to mention a user, which will send them a notification of your post.
• Quotes will now take you to a member's profile
• If you mouse over a forum topic link a hover pop-up will show you portions of the first and last post on the thread.
• Board Rules feature that the mods will work on populating. This will make forum guidelines clearly defined and obvious to find.
• The website is considerably more secure now.
• The website rendering and searching should be much faster.

• The forum went from 3.0.11 to 3.3.0. Roughly 9 years and 27 iterations of upgrades.
• We are now using SSL for all site transactions.
• All passwords are now hashed by phpbb's data algorithms.
• Forum Registration now uses Google's reCaptcha functionality which should virtually eliminate bot spam on the forum. (I hope!)
• Upgraded php from 5.6.4 to 7.2 and phpbb is much more modern from tech stack standpoint.
• Eliminated flash embedding.

• I want to vote on what the default theme should be.
• More tournaments, maybe a yearly HoF type tournament for archiving threads.
• Some mild restructuring of the forums to align with current activity.
• A decision on if we will pilot new forum software.
• We need logos for the new themes, so i'll be making a call for logo suggestions/submissions.
• Exploring more features such as tagging, likes, and bringing back game day chats.
• Might experiment with ads for the site when not logged in (if that's possible).
• There was a bit of requests for a way to donate, so might look into a patreon account pending convo with our mod lawyer.
• The forum database is starting to get close to 2GB, so might need to look into pruning posts from 10+ years ago.

If you click on your name and the down arrow, you should see a menu that says "User Control Panel."

Click on "User Control Panel," and then click on the tab that says "Board Preferences."

In the light rectangle, you'll see an option that reads "My board style," and a rectangle next to it.

If you click on the down arrow next to the rectangle, a menu of options will open up, including prosilver, if that's what you're used to.
