What is V5?
V5 is the latest software version of ProBoards who host this message board.
Will we have to join up at this new forum?
Due to the problems of getting a copy of this board, you can if you wish now sign up at this test forum:
thelastoutpost.freemessageboards.com/
Keep in mind this:
So what does this all mean?
All the changes you will notice will be subtle changes, from linking to posts to a status box in your profile now, you'll also be able to "follow" other members on the board, if they follow you back you will become friends, link to social sites in your profiles, polls are bookmarking are easier, when you go to a thread with a lot of pages, the action bar (With the links to other pages) will remain at the top of your browser whilst you scroll posts, tag other members in posts etc.
Basically some new features but mostly streamlining or improving previous features of ProBoards.
Instead of using codes for asethetics on this board, you can now use plugins Here is the plugins database:
support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=plugindatabase
If there's any you think you would like Total Transformers to have, please post the nem of the plugin and I will try it out on the copy of the board when it's ready. (I shall be trying various plugins of previous codes anyway as well as ones I think might be nice.)

Keep in mind this:
- You must sign up with your username (Not screen-name, username), you can find this in your profile, and have your screen name exactly as here (This is for security.)
- I will not be able to see your e-mail & IP address no more, so it's safe.
- Failure to do this and the account will be deleted on site.
- When V5 launches that test board and your accounts and posts will be gone, so it won't ever have to worry about it again.
