Learn all about all of the forum's features! If you have any questions about any of the forum features, let us know!

In the lower right hand corner of your screen you will see a little arrow button, if you click on this arrow it has your 'Switch User' button, your 'Switch Forum' button, and your 'Account Settings' button.
switch user
This allows you to switch between your different accounts without having to log in or out. If you have all your characters linked back to your main account, then you can easily switch between characters while posting.
switch forum
Similar to the switch user feature, this allows you to switch between different proboard forums without having to log in. As long as you have all accounts linked to the same email, you can easily access all your proboard forums. This is also a neat way to see if any of your characters have any notifications just by looking in one spot!
account settings
This allows you to edit your main proboard account and manage your forum accounts.
p o s t s e t t i n g s
Here you can find all your settings for your topic or reply.
edit post
This button allows you to edit your post. If you ever need to fix a spelling error, grammar, or add something you forgot, you can do it here. There is even an option to give your reason for editing. Please keep in mind when editing a post that somebody could already have seen it, if you decide to add or remove something, let people in the thread know.
'like' button
Here you can 'like' people's posts! Similar to Facebook or Tumblr, all you have to do is click the little thumbs up button and everyone will know how much you like that post. This is a great way to acknowledge announcements or just let people know you've read their post.
link to post
The link to post button allows you to copy and paste the link to a specific post. You can easily copy the link to the whole thread, but this is useful if you're trying to be most post specific.
back to top
this button allows you to go back to the top of the thread. Great for those long threads and endless scrolling!
The forum has two different collapsible features. This is great if you're trying to focus on one thing, or simply don't want your screen to look cluttered.
quick reply
This icon that looks like a little eye is actually a button to hide and un-hide the quick reply at the bottom of each thread. When the eye is open, the quick reply box is hidden, and when it is closed, the quick reply box is open.
categories
categories
Unlike the quick reply, the collapsible categories don't have a specific button to hide or un-hide them. All you have to do is click anywhere on this bar, and the whole thing will be hidden!
p r o f i l e s
Profiles are a good way to keep up with your friends, buddies, or characters you like
activity
Here you can see everything this character has been up to! See new posts they've made or any edits they've made to their profile.
following
Follow people or see who is following you! You can follow all your friends or characters you like to keep up with what's going on, or they can follow you.
friends
Friends are two characters that follow each other. Follow someone and ask them to follow you back, or follow one or your followers and you'll make friends!

notification settings
In your edit profile mode, you can now change what notifications you want to receive! You can choose to get a forum notification, an email, or both! All email notifications will be consolidated to one email at the end of the day. You can choose to get a notification for everything, or get notifications for nothing at all!
