Site again Overrun with Bots

It works now! But is there a way to make the new forum look similar to this one?
Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I do like the simple "see every category at once" user interface of this forum.
For example, this is the quickie forum I made the other day:
https://ivyleaguebasketba ll.proboards.com/
Basically the same look as this one - just on a non-ancient forum hosting site.

There are themes I can tweak with, but right now keeping this KISS "keep it simple stupid" sets a low barrier of entry for new users and management.
The amount of features on this new platform, security, and everything else significantly outweighs the risks we have on this one.

More information about why you are having trouble uploading your avatar would be good.
Go to your profile preferences and click the pencil icon next to the current Profile Picture. In this case, the S.

Yeah, this forum definitely needs to go. Over the past year, it's become unusable half the time due to bots.
Unless Proboards has major security issues I'm not aware of, I'll leave it to the rest of the board as to which they would prefer.
I'm sure your forum is much better than the crappy one I made, but if people prefer a similar looking forum to this one, I'm willing to mod/admin for the Proboards option.

I just made an update that will show latest threads in each School forum. There just isn't any data in the system yet to really show.

Oh okay, cool.
So once people start posting, it'll show that there are new posts in that sub-forum as well as the most recent active topic in that sub-forum?

Exactly. You can see the 1 "latest" post that exists in Ivy League titled FAQ/Guidelines now.

Got it. Is there a way for users to change their personal color scheme? It's a little too dark for me.

Wait, I just found it. Under the "Interface" tab in the Preferences section.

I don't see a "preferences" section on any menu.
Click on your avatar/username letter in the top right corner. That will open a drop-down menu. Then click on the Person Icon at the bottom of the menu ("Profile").
That will open another menu with "Preferences" as an option. Click on that and it will take you to a new window with a bunch of tabs - "Interface" is one of the tabs.

Thanks! I'm not surprised I missed something buried two menus down.

I have been able to upload the avatar. Unfortunately, P38 and probably others must abide.
Add my thanks for your efforts.
