So, I was just informed that proboards would be upgrading to a new version on April 29. I'm not sure if that means the boards will be down during that day or what, but what I do know is that there will be a lot of new and fun features that come with the upgrade. Keep this all in mind around that time.
Here are a few of the new features of the upgrade:
As I get more information about the new upgrade, I'll let you guys know. If you have any comments about this upgrade, questions, concerns, objections, let me know. We can always opt-out of upgrading. If we don't opt-out, then we'll be forced to upgrade.
I, for one, don't mind going with the new board. It seems like there will be lots of really cool and intuitive features included.
If you have any objections, though, express them here.
