An Introduction to ProBoards
Welcome to Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends discussion board, hosted by ProBoards. If you've never been a member of a ProBoards forum before, I hope you will find this FAQ useful.
Something To Note: We will be moving off off Proboards sometime in 2006, as soon as it is feasible, and transferring to a vBulletin interface. There are many benefits to this move, though sadly there is no way to transfer the posts made on this board. Re-registration will be required, you will not be automatically re-registered when we move.
Who Are the Staff?
The current staff of Never Forgotten are:
Questions about the avatars and skins are probably best directed to CG. Beaver, taranchula, and Cassini can be contacted regarding post moderation/deletion/pinning/locking/etc (of course, so can Sparky and pitbulllady). The most technical of questions should probably be directed to Sparky. It is the responsibility of all Staff to listen to problems concerning other users etc so contact whomever you wish regarding disputes. We do have a "staffroom" of sorts, called "Mr. Herriman's Office" located at the bottom of the board, which is used to discuss all matters staffly. (And every once in a while we bat a Bloo inflato around with a baton. You know, to alleviate stress.)
How Do I Change My Avatar?
Your avatar is the picture that appears under your username. You can either link to your own avatar, hosted on your own website, or use one of the premade ones. To set your avatar:
6) Scroll to the bottom and click "Modify Profile"
[/ul]
As you'll notice there are many other fields to be filled in on this page, so if you haven't already you can also take this opportunity to complete them!
How Do I Change the Forum's Appearance?
It is possible to select from a number of premade "skins" so that you can choose your favorite characters and/or colors. To change your skin:
If you do not like the skin you've selected or grow tired of it, you may change your skin as often as you like by repeating these steps!
How Do I Get a Custom Title?
You may have noticed the extra line beneath some user's names, such as Sparky's "Undisputed Ruler of Terrencania" one. That is called a custom tile and it is adjustable only by an Administrator. All Staff are entitled to a custom title. You may not request one, but if you have proven yourself remarkable to the Foster's community you may earn one.
(More To Come...)

I'm still adding to this, I just wanted to get it started. I'm not going to lock this one so people can make suggestions here. So tell me: what kinds of things have you had trouble figuring out, or still don't know how to do?
