ProBoards Version 4.5

[Hauskaz]

ProBoards Version 4.5 will eventually be coming to XF, bringing about some changes to the way some features work, as well as adding new features. Servers 48 and 103 have been fully upgraded, while servers 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 104, 105, 106 and 107 are currently undergoing the upgrade process. That means SNXF and AFA are already using ProBoards Version 4.5. Server 22 will eventuall be given the opportunity to convert to Version 4.5, and it will take about a minute to 3 hours for XF to undergo the upgrade process.

WHAT THE FUCK XF PRO IS GRADIENTED NOW

[Hauskaz]

Yeah, I'll get around to fixing all the colour fuck ups at some point.

[Cunt Wrap Supreme]

Actually, it's pretty cool. I'mma keep it.

I still need to touch up the XF Pro buttons.

Test

The gradient on XF Professional actually does look pretty slick. It looks awful on most of the colour colour schemes though.

I've a question regarding 4.5.

How are the skins being organized on our profiles? It seems to be ordered neither alphabetically, chronologically, or by popularity.

[Hauskaz]

I'm not quite sure what the hell happened to the order, but now it's all over the place. I don't like it.
