With the creation of this new board most of us have a lot to learn, and I already know there are a lot of things that need attention to get things how I/we want it. This post is therefore a place for me to post a summary list of tasks I'm planning to work on, issues members need to be aware of, questions I need answers to, recent changes I have made, etc. (with links to more detailed posts if necessary).
This post will remain at the top of the boards for the foreseeable future, I will update the title whenever I add to or change the post, so everyone knows to check it out. Changed items will be in bold.

I have locked this thread so it doesn't turn into a multipage epic, so if you have comments about anything here please either post in the Admin & Support board (and if there is an existing thread on the relevant topic please use that rather than starting another) or PM me directly.
Thanks.
This post will remain at the top of the boards for the foreseeable future, I will update the title whenever I add to or change the post, so everyone knows to check it out. Changed items will be in bold.
Current issues:
- Please ensure you have read the ProBoards Terms Of Service (TOS) and Community Guidelines - we may have very few board-specific rules, but there is still an overriding TOS you need to abide by.
- For technical help issues, please refer in the first instance to the ProBoards Forum Help Guide or Support Forum (I am not a techie by any stretch of the imagination!)
- Note that smilies used July 3rd-5th may be broken and show as a text/# string only
- Attachments have been re-enabled, however external hosting is still the preferred option for images as we do not have unlimited space, although we now aren't in danger of running out any time soon.
Planned work:
- Add backup Admin and some Moderators
Combine tips and tricks from various sources into a single threadin progress- Consider commissioning a more attractive header
Research themesin progress- Reduce avatar size to 100x100?
- Create favicon

- Increased number of posts to a thread page, threads to a board page to their maximum
- Increased default font size
- Added History of the Peas board
- Created Support section
- Added Announcements board
- Disabled attachments
- Moved Admin & Support board to the Support section.
- Reordered boards within the General section.
- Added initial selection of standard avatars
- Changed default avatar (no more freaky alien)
- Updated forum name at top of page
- Added new smilies to the standard selection - see this post for more details
- Changed shortcodes for new smilies
- Added dividers to make announcements & stickies easier to distinguish
- Added some new/revised member levels - you'll have to find out for yourselves what they are
- Added an arrow button to the centre right hand edge of the forum - if you're in the top half of the page click on it to autoscroll to the bottom; if you're in the bottom half of the page click on it to autoscroll to the top.
- Added a character counter to the edit signature box so you can see how many characters you have left available
- Added buttons to enable quoting directly from the thread summary ('full' reply only) - particularly useful if you want to multi-quote, just click the button next to each post you want to quote in order and it adds each one to the reply box
- Added spoiler button to 'full' reply box (looks like a smiley with a finger against his mouth)
- Added buttons to change font size & color, format bold & italic, add links, images, quotes, smilies & spoilers in the Quick Reply box [Edit - it looks like the smiley button only works with the standard ones, not the ones I've added - you still need to go into the full reply box to use those
] - Added option to collapse the forum information & statistics section of the home page (click on the up arrow to the right of the text to collapse, and the down arrow to expand) - should remember your settings each time
- Also added option to collapse board categories on the home page - click on the title bar to collapse/open. Again should remember your settings.
- Added notification when members reach a new rank (won't apply retrospectively for those of you have already ranked up)
- Added ability to add more prominent global messages at the top of the board - click on the X icon at the right hand edge to dismiss a message once you've read it. If you dismiss by mistake, you can re-enable the message by clicking on the speech bubble button in the very bottom left corner of your screen.
- Restricted signature images to max 125px height - images above this size will be replaced with a message asking the member to resize

]Thanks.
