Your brand new Black Voices Community has arrived!

- And more great features!
Ready to get started? Visit the Community today. No login is necessary but when you create a free account you unlock all the great benefits of being a Black Voices member.
See you on the boards!
In just a few weeks, we'll publicly unveil our new message board community. Currently, it's in beta, a trial environment where new features are being added each week but you can preview it today here.
As a community manager, I am a member of many social networking sites and while I love them all I find that message boards are where I spend most of my time. I enjoy a circle of online friends who share the same interests and this is where I find information and support.
I enjoy Black Voices for this very reason.
I am so proud of the new Community we've built. As a team, the Black Voices staff took a series of steps to ensure our members came first. We surveyed our most engaged members and gathered insight on what you loved and where we needed improvements. Secondly, we took our time. We didn't build this community overnight. This is many months (and some would say years) of hard work, consulting, and technical professionals in New York, Washington, DC, Bangalore, and Dublin. We brought in the best for the best! Finally, we communicated with you, our members, the whole way through. BlackNoise, Skuderjaymes, damngranny, and devilswearsfubu are just a handful of names I recall actively posting in the new community and providing their feedback -- both good and bad.
I hope that you will take the time to make the leap over to the new boards and embrace them as so many of your virtual friends have in the past months. If you have any questions, just leave them here on my blog.
See you on the new boards!

Dear members,
I have great news concerning the new message boards currently in beta at http://conversations.blackvoices.com. When I read your feedback each morning I see the same theme: fonts, and signatures. These are popular features and I'm happy to share that the team has worked very hard to add them to our new boards.
Fonts
Select from many styles to add personality to your posts. For even more expression, don't forget you can change the font size and color.
Signatures
I know everyone has their preference. Quickly and easily turn signatures off for a cleaner experience. When you're ready to view them again, visit any discussion and select 'On'. Keep in mind, your signature will be hidden as well.
