It's no secret that our software provider Proboards is changing from the current version (V4) to the new upgrade called V5. Earlier Doug and I announced that we would make this request on Oct. 15th and not wait until the holiday season at the end of the year for it to automatically update. By setting a date and time and doing it by request one can be better prepared for the change over and getting everything up to speed. There is a lot more to converting than just making the request, some things like the banner for instance do not transfer when it converts and there are codes and script to put in along with things that make the forum easier to navigate and things that people will like over the old forum. I again tell you if you didn't go over to the test site and check it out and go through the login procedure then please do so. It will make it easier for you to use if you've never been on a V5 forum. betaitistheride.freemessageboards.com/Also again here is a helpful video about the login procedure. It's here and time and we hope you'll hang in there until we get things smoothly running. I just got finished with my forum conversion and since I know along with Doug how these things go hopefully in a very short time things will be fine. Doug has sent everyone a mass PM about this conversion and either he or I will email you too. JR  |

You must use your USERNAME not DISPLAY name to register or sign in. If you changed to a different display name here that name will not work.
Lastly you must use the email you have on file here that you registered with, even if you don't use it any more. If you no longer have that email then you may have to register again if it doesn't recognize the username.
Folks I've tried to get all to do this on the test forum for months so these problems could be corrected should you have any.

Thanks guys and I'm ready the problem is you have no way of knowing the exact hour they will switch? On my recent change I made the request on Friday night and it was converted by noon on Saturday a big surprise. So we did the same thing this time and no change........yet.

The system is working as I just checked to see if others have signed in and they have. Try clicking on Register and put your email in and hit continue. If the email you used to "sign up" with this forum is in their system a screen will come up saying put in your password.
We still are on the waiting list and will convert as soon as they get to us.

I just tried that, and it registers me as a new account. Is there a way to save all messages from here or do we have to create an account, because I already deleted the new account. It doesn't let me sign in with existing .login  |

Are you absolutely sure you used the email that you registered here with? Sometimes they do have a glitch in the system and PM me with your email and I can check with PB. Also sailracer is your username, not display name correct? PM's do not transfer but all this forum content like these threads do.

Scratch that, I have your email and username don't even know why I asked but here is your problem. Go to your profile and you'll see you misspelled you original username and it's spelled like this: salracer You changed the spelling in your display name to sailracer. You cannot login with a display name, got to be your USERNAME.  |

I too had to create a new account. Not a big deal for me, but for those with a lot of history it may be irritating to lose their post history.

My problem is I couldn't remember my password. Did the change it globally, but that didn't "take" for the Ride. Did it again and it took the second time. ?? Whatever, the 'Kat, she be back!
But where are my smileys?
