Well if you are reading this, that means you've just created a forum! Well Congradulations!!! Just to let you know, that this is an amaizing chance to get a grip on website designing and more! Interact with others and creating a site that expresses yourself! Well starting off is kinda difficult but its a breeze once you get the hang of it.
Now you want to create a forum with meaning, not just some random thing, general forums with no starting meaning won't go any far. Your forum has to have a road to guide people to a great chance to express them selves. Now what if you want to create a RPG forum. Well no problem, your RPG must have a straight story board or its not going to be meaning full at all. A great story leads to a great forum RPG. But let us get back to the basic to start you off. NOw once you have created your board you are going to want to log-in with your user name, which should be Admin, and your desired password that you placed in the application. Once you have logged in you may get to know your new site a bit by clicking around, and seeing what happens.
Finnished checking your site out? Good. Now your ready to start building. You should click on your NAV bar [ADMIN] or the logo that has the keys. You can now click create a catagory. In this you can Type the catagory name of your choice. Done? Good. Now your browser should send you back to the admin page. Go to create a board, then add the title of your board. Should be short but meaning full. Then go down and add your ID to the board, the ID should be what ever the name of your board is with no spaces. Then you are off to typing in a description for your board, again, short but meaning full. Okay, we will not get into sub-boards in this guide.
Okay so your done with that create as many boards and catagories as you please. TIP- Lay low on your first time board do not create a bunch of tasteless boards that will not have threads. Create starter threads in all your boards to get things moving.
Skins are easy just click your admin panel and go to skins. Now click the modify skin link and click default skin. so its SKINS>MODIFY SKINS>DEFAULT>OK . Now it will explain to you all what the colors mean but it wont tell you this, You gotta keep your skin in tact, make it nice and not to many diffrent colors. Stick with one color and play with its shades to blend in a perfect board. Now to create a new skin for users to choose in there profile reapeat the same link except click create new skin instead of modify. To find some good colors click the clor chart next to the text area for general colors and for optimal use go to google and search HEX COLORS for great hex colors to use on your board.
AND VUALA!!!Theres your new board!!!! Now for any support go to Support@Proboards
