Sorry for that problem. Your specific IP address or even root IP was never banned (I just checked the list to make sure) but there were a couple of additions over the last month or so for an automated spammer. I deleted those and maybe that might help you. The others are months old so they shouldn't be the problem. If your problems persist it might be an issue with your ISP and/or that of the cyber cafe with Pro Boards in general -- that they're blocking that program.

I've noticed that advertisements are now appearing after the first message in a thread. Is that a new setting by our administrators or something new with the whole ProBoards thing? There used to be just adverts at the top and bottom of the pages, but now they're popping up into the threads. Just wondering about this new annoyance. Thanks.

Dear administrator, I'm new on this board and I'd like to know how to put a picture as my avatar, the pic I want is not on a website, it's in my PC. Thanks.

Welcome You need web hosting space to upload it to (there are many free photo spaces like Photobucket.com which is highly recommended and what I used here) or you can e-mail it to me and I can put it up for you or give you the url. Ace

Regarding PB Files: Updates thread. Love the new cover, so stylishly black-and-white, and the picture is gorgeous. Unfortunately, I can't post in that thread any longer. I didn't want to start a new thread in case it's just a glitch and it works for everyone else, but if not, perhaps, we should.

I didn't want to start a new thread in case it's just a glitch and it works for everyone else, but if not, perhaps, we should. The Update topic is just Admin posting - it's the only one set up on the board like that (so the topic stays streamlined just with updates). I'd actually forgot about that when I posted there. Thanks. : ) I've been thinking of changing it for some time especially since I was running out of space on the background photo and I think it was getting harder to navigate - with too much scrolling down and not seeing clearly where the main non film specific pages were.. I thought about drop down menus and doing away with specific film page links but I don't think I need that yet (maybe). I don't know if you can actually see it but the photos are tinted with a very dark midnight blue (like a Pierce Brosnan tuxedo) and the background is that color. I wasn't sure how well it would blend or look on someone elses monitor. Ace

Hmmm, now that you mentioned it, yes, I can see it. The photos and the background blend so well, if the photos are off the screen, the background looks black. When the photos are visible, the background is a touch lighter, though - PB's clothes in the first picture do look almost black on my LCD screen at work. The overall effect is very nice; maybe more so because one doesn't realize the tint is there.

I really like the new look of the site. The colour scheme is very elegant and subtle. And it sure is neat to navigate. Wonderful job!

I too think the newly revamped board looks wonderful. Now that you mention it, the blue tint seems to make the black and white photos stand out from the page. Great selection of photos, too.
The new format seems to make it easier to navigate to different areas.
Once again you have done an outstanding job. Thanks so much for sharing your skills and interest with the rest of us.

Awww, thanks so much to everyone for the kind words. I'm now uploading some new colors/graphics to some of the main (Gallery/Media/Interviews etc) portals to unify the new look a bit more. Ace

Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Photobucket has changed links. Now I could change them all back by hand for the board except that option for proboards seems to have been lost or moved during one of the latest upgrades. The most annoying feature are the user buttons, some of which I redirected to photobucket years ago because the ones from proboards were being blocked by some servers. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this.
OK, I've returned it all to default which means we have the boring smilies back. I'll try and fix/upgrade those later. Right now "text" format is the default - and will try to change it back to icons (l keep doing that and yet it won't stick)
I've been able to change and update links for the avatars but everyone will have to choose their avatar again from the list to update the link on their user info. Or you can manually change the link code - remove the "19" from "img19" and make it just "img" in your avatar link

Because of the increase in SPAM I've had to change all boards except the Admin Board to require registration before posting. I left this board section open to guest posting in case there's a sign in issue for members.
Updates and FAQ are locked to all posting as they were before.
Other topics are unlocked to all (hopefully the SPAM won't be an issue and if it I'll still leave HELP open to all even if that means setting up it's own section)

Yeah, usually it's just a couple every few days to delete but recently it's been several a day with last week escalating to dozens a day. The board must have been picked up by some SPAM bot (or whatever they are) and it wasn't going away.

ProBoards had a major server outage a few days ago. Supposedly everything is back up but as you can see if you've tried to post or modify your post many functions are not up. Currently only Quick Reply (with no formatting/smilie) options is up and I can't access the "Approve Registration" function so my apologies for those waiting for approval. Hopefully all functions will be back up soon.
