ZetaBoards is another type of board that InvisionFree hosts. It is slightly different in setup than how these boards are set up. If we do upgrade, it may take the staff a little bit to get used to the new features of the board, but I feel that the greater control and features could be useful for everyone. http://if.invisionfree.com/announcement/18/ That topic explains the board in some detail as well as gives the pros and cons of the new board. http://docs.zetaboards.com/newmemberfeatures This will explain the changes for members of the board. http://docs.zetaboards.com/newadminfeatures If anyone is interested, this will explain the changes for admins of the board. I personally wouldn't mind the upgrade and I'd be all for getting used to the newer system if it meant better usage and efficiency of the board, but I'm leaving it to you guys to decide whether you want the upgrade or not. Actually, to be honest, for those of you who remember foruming back in 2004-2006... the new ZetaBoards reminds me of ClicDev. Discuss why (or why not) we should upgrade in here. I'll leave this up for a few days (a week maximum) to get a general feel for how everyone feels about this. |

It looks pretty interesting, though the list of changes is kind of confusing. The links list things changes but doesn't actually describe what they are. For example, what is this? "PM Notifier Toast" Wut. Toast? |

I think it means that when you get a new PM, you get a little pop-up whenever you're on the board and you surf a page saying, "Hey, you got a PM!" |

That would both be rather annoying and useful. I just feel that the new "features" need to be better described before I say yea or nay to the upgrade. |

I just asked a friend of mine on FB (who's, like, amazing with technology and stuff) about the difference between ZB and IF and what're the pros and cons of updating. He put it as simply as he could. I'll quote what he said.

From what I can tell (as this has been a unanimous vote for yes), everyone has agreed that we should upgrade to Zetaboards. I shall be doing that some time this weekend (most likely on Monday, but don't be surprised if it's earlier). Thank you everyone for participating in this poll. |
