I am a firm believer in the idea that this forum does pretty much everything way better. To prove this, I've created a list of things that this forum can do that you can't do on the current forums.
- Private messaging!
We tried to use private messaging extensions on the Flarum forum, and it turned out to be an absolute disaster in terms of security and manageability. With ProBoards, it's built-in and get this: it isn't an absolute disaster! - Make tables!
Tables have existed as an HTML standard since 1997, and Flarum lacks it. A simple feature that has been part of the HTML standard for decades, and Flarum (supposedly "modern" software) doesn't come with it out of the box. On ProBoards, it's built-in!Woah! This is sick! - Custom text colorization!
In case you want to make a disclaimer about something, on Flarum you're forced to use bold text or by making the actual disclaimer a header. With this forum, you can highlight text by simply using another color! Isn't that neat? - Custom fonts!
You can literally make posts in Comic Sans MS, no strings attached! - You can actually see what you're typing!
No need to write a draft on an existing post to see what you're doing, this literally does it for you in the Create Thread page, while you're typing it out! - GIF Profile Pictures!
A feature literally every forum software has except for Flarum! Want to have your profile picture set to a GIF of Patrick Star gasping for air? Feel free! - Actually functional IP bans!
Is some asshole spamming posts under the same IP? On Flarum, you're screwed! But ProBoards has your back, even going as far as cockblocking banned IPs from accessing the forum period! - You can center your text!
Want to make a header for a post in case you want to highlight something important? On Flarum, you're forced to have align to the left. On ProBoards, you can literally align it left, right, or even the center! - The ability to delete your own account!
No need to send an email to Ryan, you can literally do it yourself in the settings! - An actually competent searching system!
Want to look for a post within a certain timeframe or from a certain user? Go ahead! - Signatures!
Want to utilize a feature every forum in the past decade has implemented except for the Flarum forum? Feel free! You can even customize it to your liking! - Falling Threads!
Are people shitposting too much in Spam and Drama? No problem, just mark threads as "falling" and they won't bother you ever again, even when they get updated! - Error pages that don't blind you!
Do you like to browse on the forums in the dark and accidentally click on a dead forum link? No biggie, on ProBoards you won't get blinded by an error page that isn't even consistent with the web design (let alone the currently active theme) to begin with! - Polls that let you pick more than one option!
Are you divided between a few choices but can't choose one? Never fear, ProBoards has your back!
