Forum Basics
For all members that are new to ProBoards, or those of you who just forgot something, this is for you. ProBoards is a free forum hosting service. It is comprised and structured in the following order; boards, sub-boards, threads, and posts.
A good thing to do when you first join is to fill out your "Profile". To do so, click Profile on the menu bar, and click Edit Profile on the right. From there you can change your password, avatar, signature, etc. If you wish to be active on the forums, it is a good idea to fill out your profile.
If you wish to participate on the forum, there are only a few things expected of you. These are not rules, and you will not be punished if you accidentally miss-post, only scolded.
1) No Double Posting - Double Posting is when a user posts twice in a row without another user's post separating the two; it's alright to double post if a day or so has gone by.
2) Good Grammar - Grammar does not have to be perfect by any means, just eligible.
3) Explore - Please look around and get a feel for the forum before posting. Everything has it's place, and it is quite possible something of the sort has been posted before.
4) Experiment - If you don't get something, experiment. Try a few things out before you give up and ask. If you can't figure it out, just ask, but please try to figure it out yourself first.
5) Respect - Please be curtious when you post, and respect the boards. Me and the other admins (*Mostly me ) have done a lot to keep this place tidy and organized.
