Apparently this is necessary. PostingNormally the forum looks like this: You will click on one of the many fancy names here. Like Sorikonia for example. It will bring you to a page like this: In the upper corner you will see these buttons: You click the new post button. It takes you to a form where you type exciting things. When you are finished you hit the post message button on the bottom. There you go.

Editing your ProfileNormally the forum looks like this: At the top, there is a set of buttons. Click on the one that says Profile. It should take you to a page that looks like this: You will click on Modify Profile and come to this long awesome form which will let you edit lots of things. The following image explains how to work said things, even though proboards explains it next to the form. Stuff that other people see:Gender and hide gender seem pretty self explanatory. So does location. Website is basically if you have a website you can have a link to it show up on your profile if you'd like. Avatar: Proboards has a few preloaded avatars for you to use, but if you want any sort of custom image you need to find an image-hosting site on the net (I recommend tinypic.com) or if you have your own website you can host it there. If it is on the web, it should have a URL attached to it, and said URL goes in that there box. Avatar length and width: 100x100 is the maximum size, and the one I recommend. Personal Text is displayed under your avatar. Your signature is displayed under your posts. User Notes are something you will never need to worry about. Stuff nobody but you care about:Show Age and Hide Email are pretty self-explanatory. Occasionally there might be mass emails, which you are free to decide that you do not want to receive. In all likelihood we will never send you one anyway. Showing Signatures, Avatars, and Images are things you should probably have set to yes or else you can't see the images in this tutorial. SelectSkin allows you to decide what color scheme you like, ans will change the color of the forum. Places like the Chronicles board have what we call sub-boards, which are smaller categories which ordinarily you need to click on to see posts in them. Expand sub-boards will show you the posts in them without any additional clicking, where as hide sub-boards means you see no sign of the sub-boards at all. I assume. Those two I've never actually tried.
