------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to your new ProBoards forum! If you need any assistance with your new forum, our staff is available to assist you seven days a week. Please visit our Support Forum at support.proboards.com. ------------------------------------------------------ the above was the automated welcome message, the link is probably helpful, so try it out if you have problems. ----> And the rest isn't ----> Hey guys! With Andy closing up the Ape Forum, and the old BP falling into disrepair (it's still there and running xtcbackporch.forumup.com/index.php?mforum=xtcbackporch) thanks to it's age, size and the extreme neglect of the host's operator I thought it best to open up a new forum and start back from scratch again... Well, sort of. I may do some updating and make some changes later, but for now I'm sticking with the name and general layout of the previous version. This new place does have a bunch of bells and whistles associated with newer boards (even a "shoutbox" chat window!) but I'm learning everything with you guys, so be patient as we figure out how it all works. I will say that there are many options in the profile section, so it will be in your best interest to go through it all and set preferences the way you'd like.For the time being I'm leaving the registration open so people can join and start posting immediately, but as soon as the spambots start showing up I'll be restricting it again. Spam has arrived, so I will now be approving registrations before you can post. If anyone would like to be made a moderator and help out, I could probably use a back up or two.

This spiffy new forum sure is full of a lot of high tech bells and whistles; high tech for me anyway. What Ned said about setting preferences in your profile; unless you want the world to see your particulars. I don't understand what the BADGES tab in the profile folder is for but I want a badge or two.

Ned, the banner for forum is lovely. I'd like to have it on a Badge!

I have a few other Keep Calm variations I might use occasionally.

Peggs here, testing this guest name feature. This has the potential of being abused, no? Anonymous negativity and all that. Is the guest name function something we as a forum family wish to support? If not, can it be removed?

I thought it was. I'll look into it.

Thank you so much for pulling this together. I'm having a real bitch of a time keeping positive these days, and completely losing the fan forum would have been a harsh blow.
