A couple of days late, but I wanted to take the time to post a state of the forums, as well as to combine a few announced threads.
Our New Address
We are working on transitioning away from the "GBCB" name and URL. There is a thread about updating your bookmarks HERE. As of right now, the plan is that you will no longer be able to access the boards by goodbyecb.proboards.com as of June 25.
Please use links with www.goodbyecb.proboards.com until we are able to resolve the current hosting issues. Thank you.
Additionally, if you are using any theme that starts with GBCB, please know that we will be phasing it out over the next few weeks.
Board Consolidation and Index Restructuring
There is a thread about our board restructuring HERE We eliminated (either by post merging or combining boards) a total of 17 boards, and moved several other existing boards into sub-forum status. We eliminated the links to individual BMB's from the sidebar and replaced them with links to the Birth Year forum. If you're looking for a forum you can no longer find, click the link to see where it went!
Charity Nominations
Don't forget to nominate your favorite charity before June 30th! You can read more about our future plans for charitable partnership HERE
Virtual 5K for CLE
The Virtual Run-Where-You-Are event in memory of CLECyclist is coming up in less than 2 weeks. Don't forget to register HERE
Thanks to the proboards team, we have been able to implement several new features over the past 4-6 weeks. The one we are most excited about is the ability to filter announcements based on board. This has allowed us to filter recall announcements to only the pertinent pregnancy or parenting board on the DESKTOP site. Unfortunately this feature is not optimized for mobile.
Part of the feature that is enabling us to move to the new URL (www.goodbyecb.proboards.com) has caused some intermittent errors when accessing the forums. Proboards is aware of the problem, and the admin team is working to resolve this issue. Please give us a few days to resolve the issue.
We are also aware that users are being logged out and having to log in, vs. their browser "remembering" them between browsing sessions. This is also on the Proboards team radar.
As always, questions, comments, etc all welcome!
