Anyone in v5 BetaZone? I've been invited in 5 minutes ago to create v5 plugins ;D
Anyone else in yet?

Yeah, I got in last Tuesday and have really been enjoying it, although it has been down for a few days which you are probably aware of. Once I get some school work done I'm going to start on another plugin as well as continue working on this one. The plugin system is awesome and saves a lot of time since we can store variables on the Proboards server. Plus, they give us dynamic forms so admin editables are more than trivial now. No more creating fake pages on top of the headers and footers page, and dynamically inserting the user's input into the header/footer without them knowing. |

I've been invited but I declined because I want to be surprised with the regular version.  |

I was a little confused at first, but then realized how simple it was after looking at it for a little while. It's actually very similar to before, it's just that we have a lot more power with the variables we can store on their server. Plus, we have JQuery now so it's so much easier to do things in Javascript. I've been invited but I declined because I want to be surprised with the regular version. Do you mean the regular beta zone, or the 3 month transitional period after beta zone? I think most of the features are there now, although they did make a few changes in the plugin section of the admin panel since the last update. |

I personally dislike PB v5 as a whole. Their attempt at something new and creative is just a jumble of multiple already popular web applications like Facebook. Not very impressed sorry to say. And the plugins are kind of hard to follow; their documentation isn't showing for me, so I have no idea what I would be doing..

I didn't get the update on my dead forum, but I would love to play around with the template system.

Basically what iPokemon said, I'm not interested in v5 and in my opinion isn't a great update.

It sounds like you guys just can't figure out how to use it, nor want to, but not everything can be spoon fed to you. The v5 software does what v4 does plus a lot more, but it's still just a forum service, nothing more.

The v5 software does what v4 does plus a lot more, but it's still just a forum service, nothing more. Spoon fed to me? not sure how what I said applies to that, I clearly stated I did not like it, I never said "they don't give me this or this" . The fact is I have not even attempted to touch that admin side, not that it's difficult I just have no intentions. I tested the v5 site and the overall layout is just ugly. Every feature (excluding avatar maker) exists on another forum software, not as popular as proboards, but it's still around and doing well. Therefore not real impressed about the new features, because I've heard of them before. "OMG A LIKE BUTTON!!" I"ve never heard of that before. A templating system? heard of it before on other forum softwares. They failed to wow me with incredible features that exist nowhere else, I will admit the Avatar maker is one, but one thing won't wow me or most people. So not sure how anything I said applies to what you said. And in the end (to me) forums are no fun anymore, I can't even say the last time I came on a forum to have a real discussion with friends, If I really wanna talk to someone that bad I'll add them on facebook and talk to them that way. The only forums that are really striving are RP forums, and I don't RP anymore. And if I wanna talk to a group of people I'll make or join a facebook group. |

I love what I see so far. I am working on many plugins at the moment, and can't wait to export them. |
