Greetings, all!
This forum will be upgraded to Proboard V5 sometime during the next few weeks. This is a major forum overhaul and will not be without its bumps.
The first thing you all should know is that the board will likely request that you re-verify your email address. This is the standard verification process just the same as it was when you first joined the forum.
The second thing to note is that when the upgrade occurs, the site theme and layout will disappear. The code will not be lost but it will also not be active. I'll fix it as soon as I can after the upgrade occurs. What you will see is a plain old vanilla forum. The links on the side will likely be gone and overall coloring and header graphic will likely disappear. All message content should be unchanged.
The third thing of note is that our custom smilies may be affected. I will look into them and see if I can take steps to preserve them without disruption. It will depend on where the code for them is stored. I believe the code is in the same code for the site format, which means that they will be de-activated at the time of upgrade. It should be easy to get them back up and running again, though.
Keep your fingers crossed everyone and don't lose your head!
