Graphics on all skins are being upgraded starting today at 2:00 PM PDT.
You may notice some features not working properly during this time.
This process should take approximately one hour. I will post here once the upgrade has completed.
Thank you for your patience.

Cool! I like the new graphics. I think it's a bit irritating that so many of the emotes move now, though There is only one additional moving emoticon. That is  . The other four emoticons moved in their previous form... EDIT: Hey, I think you guys forgot one spot  When you're creating a post and you choose your message icon, the old smileys still show up beside the selection tab... The image displayed beside the selection tab is in fact the old icon. It is default of ProBoards 4.5, and cannot be changed by us. However, when the post is made to the forum, the new icon will appear on the thread. Would it be possible to make a 'classic skin' for each of the coloured skins so that if someone wants to see everything in it's old, un-graphically enhanced version, they can? The only graphics that have been enhanced are from ProBoards end. Doubling the number of skins for the sole reason of having the choice of new and old icons would unrealistic. |

This is now the perfect weapon to use against posts that don't make sense. Ha-ha!... It gives me such a feeling of power. I did notice that most of the emoticons as well as the message option buttons seem a lot more bulky than before. Instead of having the background colors wrap tightly to their edges, there are now white squares surrounding everything.

Guess again... at the time I noticed the issue, it was the same on all the skins, but I am not seeing it anymore, now. So I can only theorize that it was the computer I was using, an old version of IE that didn't translate the new graphics, or just a delay in the updates loading up onto the server. I never subscribed to the forum members code of conduct anyway, so if there was a regulation regarding following the popular trend in your choice of forum skin, I think I'll hang it out to dry. It wasn't in the rules, either, last time I checked. |

The new graphics are not completely supported by older version of Internet Explorer (like IE6 which is still being used on the computers at the college I'm going to.) |

Is the little icon on the tab header that has the WCF logo new too?

Is the little icon on the tab header that has the WCF logo new too? No, the favicon had been showing previously if you were using browsers other than Internet Explorer. However, I changed it to a .ico file a few days ago, so it should start showing up for those who use Internet Explorer. |
