Good for you!
Eight attempts before this damn new system would accept my password. Proboards new system is supposed to make life easier.......No it does not! The jury is out on the rest of the upgrade, but so far "must try harder" 2/10.
Now revised down to 1/10 after failed attempt to change avtar from the hideous "strange encounters" alien default. At least I don't have an avtar now!

Thank you Brian, my Lord, for the advice on the spell checker. I did notice the red squiggles but did not know about the hover and right click.

Ah-ha! The forum did recognise me this time so there was no need to re-enter my password.
I'm sure I didn't do anything different!
Any progress yet on how to disable images please...anyone???

Initially I could not get into the Airport News section despite being able to get into all other sections. Had to re-register and now get in automatically. Good.
So, what do I think of the new forum? Egg heads are not for me, thank you. The type face is also minute and the large spaces make it look like many other forums. I suppose, like many other forum users, I will get used to it in the long term but the thought that, if it isn't broken, it doesn't need fixing still applies.

As a temporary fix until Dave gets back from his holiday you could try this. Using Firefox you can Block Images. 1/ Select 'Tools' 2/ Select 'Options' 3/ Select 'Content' 4/ Uncheck 'Load Images Automatically' 5/ Select 'OK' at the bottom of the box or it will default to checked. 6/ Refresh your Browser and the Images will disappear. This will Block images on any website you visit, so if you need to view them on other websites you will need check (Tick.) 'Load Images Automatically' This will save you charges on your Data Plan.

Thanks for coming up with that suggestion speedbird. I have taken about half an hour this afternoon to check through my own profile settings etc for something to solve this, but to no avail. It is a pain doing this on my android but thats all I have here. I must say I didn't even know the option existed on the old board.
Dave

I must have been lucky so far as I had no problem altering my Avtar or logging to pro boards and upgrading. Will take some getting used to in use and uploading pictures isn`t as straight forward but it`s new but practice make perfect.

I to must be lucky as my avatar stayed as it was during the up-grade and the Forum log-in stays logged in at all times. This may be due to Google Chrome remembering all my passwords for me.Up-loading photos is exactly the same as was in the old Forum and no problems at all. One question, what does BBCode do at the bottom next to Preview? Regards Beemer.

I am fed up of seeing "the file is not recognized" and the file is too big.
Looking at some of he avtars that people have got, they must be over 1kb.
Never had this problem on the old site.
I'll run with the little "T" for temporary until someone fixes the problem and also assassinates the aliens!

Thanks for the advice re blocking images Speedbird.
I finally located the Firefox toolbar which they have cunningly hidden off-screen. You need to summon it to appear using the F10 key!
The procedure you described had the added bonus of removing the egg-headed aliens.
The one disadvantage I've spotted so far is that nothing alerts me to the presence of an image I might want to view.
Under the old system,the word "image" appeared in brackets beneath any accompanying text.
I'll run in this mode for a while and see if there are any unforeseen adverse effects.
Now...can we have the old forum back please? :-(
