I am not in love with the way this site looks and feels. I am working on an illustrator document for a design submission today. Will check back later. Keep on pestering me please. Nick

I have been investigating Apps for ProBoard Forums. Just getting ready to test iPhone & iPad Apps. See they have an Android App also.
It costs $3. More latter

Gene, It looks good and appears to have an easy to understand interface. As with CC groups change a few years ago, it would be well to pay lots of attention to the migration. For those like you who are on it constantly, no problem. But for others who are only occasional users, it's important to give them an easy path to find the new location, and expect to do multiple reminders. Best of all would be a notification at the old site, and keep it in place for a few months.
It's possible I don't understand the change and the above would be no problem, but something to think about.
Cheers, Cebe

Cebe, et. al. We have - shut down the old Google Groups and are asking the few beta testers to move their posts to this Forum.
- locked the old GGs so no one can post there and ask all beta members to move and register here
- have a message at the top of each old GG that we are moving, also there are links to here on each one.
- non of the other old links have changes, they just point to here.
In the future, if you bookmark the following 2 links, you can get anywhere on this project Freedom9 Best Practices website sites.google.com/site/freedom9bestpractices/ Freedom9 Best Practices discussion Forum freedom9bestpractice.freeforums.net/

I am posting this from the Pb iPhone app as a test. It's 2.99+tax and I put it on iPhone, iPad &mini. Really hard to find Freedom9 and get signed in the 1st time on all three. May be easier now we're listed in Pb directory. Looks good for reading & posting but not for admin. [ if anyone has trouble we have some hints ]
If anyone could test the android app let us know???

Gene,
Forums seems OK, but I cannot get the app to locate this forum on my ipad at all.
Suggestions?
Nick

Ok, I got the APP to work. You need to enter the entire URL: freedom9bestpractice.freeforums.net/index.cgiIn order to locate the forum. I am not sure how much you can do once there, but the forum works fine using a browser (Safari) on the iPad mini.

Yes. I had problem also. I was able to do it by 1. go to "Forums" tab/button at bottom and click "+" in upper left hand corner 2. type their example in "support.proboards.com" and register for that forum 3. Then do #1 and #2 again with freedom9bestpractice.freeforums.com as URL 4. then use your Freedom9 Forum name and password. Since I had trouble Freedom9 Best Practices is listed in the Pb Directory so you may be able to search & find it earlier in above process?

I logged into PB first, then clicked plus in the corner, then entered the entire URL, short forms didn't work.
I still find it better to work directly in a browser than with the app. Nick
