Proboards Tutorial [W.I.P]

[Missy]

 Coding
Proboards, much like other forum creating sites, uses a form of coding known as BBCode. BBCode, or bulletin board code, is a form of HTML coding that some members may already be familiar with. BBCode is a lot simpler than HTML.

So, with the formalities out of the way I'm going to begin with coding.

[u]Italics[/u]	Italics
[b]Bold[/b]	Bold
[u]Underline[/u]	Underline
[s]Strike[/s]	Strike
[sup]Superscript[/sup]	Superscript
[sub]Subscript[/sub]	Subscript
[a href="http://urlhere"]URL[/a]	URL

These are some basic codes for posting.

You can also change the color of your text.
This can be done in two ways.

[font color="1979e6"]Color changing with the hexcode.[/font]	Color changing with the hexcode.
[font color="Blue"]And color changing without the hexcode.[/font]	And color changing without the hexcode.

How do I find the hexcode?

To find the hexcode you can do many things.

Probaords has this for you to find hexcodes for colours.
There is also plenty of sites that will help you.
Such as

Posting images.

Let's say this is the image I want to post.

I can do this in two ways. It doesn't matter which one I choose.

The image URL must always end in the file format (such as .jpg/.png/.bmp/etc.) or else the coding will not work.


The Sidebar
In the top left corner of the forum we have the mini-navigation section.

This section is for new members. It allows them to go straight to the important parts of the forum that they must
visit before joining. Each of these links straight to exactly what it says.

Underneath the mini-navigation section, we have the staff bar. This shows you all four members off staff and will take you straight to their staff profiles if you need them.
In order, Missy, Eurous, N, Kami.

We then have the awards area.

This is exactly what it says. An area for awards.
MoTM = Member of the month
DoTM = Duo of the month
SoTM = Staff of The Month
ToTM = Thread of The Month
[Note: These images are placeholders]

Then there are the chatbox rules and the chatbox

The chatbox is a chatwing chatbox and all members are encouraged to communicate on it. (A chatwing tutorial will be posted later on)

And lastly we have our affiliate banner and our affiliated forums.

This is just the part of the forum where we advertise with and for other forums. You can click on any of our affiliates and that will take you to their forum.



The Homepage
Everything you need to find on this forum can be found in the Home section of the forum.

Here is the forum homepage. 
The homepage is home to all the navigation.

So, to begin with we have the newcomers and character creation areas.

In these areas members can learn about the forum and they can also see what we expect to find in an application, as well as finding everything they need for starting with character creature.


This is the RP area. The Free RP section is where RPs that are not included in the plot. You can RP in any of the sub-boards. If you want a sub-board that isn't already included, you can request one.

This area is all just for the members themselves. This is the out of character area. Here you can post pretty much anything, make polls, introduce yourself, start games and post your artwork.
