Q: When I signed up, I had my name capitalised, but now it's not. What happened?
A: For some reason, ProBoards doesn't seem to like letting people register with caps in their name. You can change this yourself by going to the Profile link at the top of the page, clicking on Modify Profile link, and adjusting your Display Name. You will then be able to use either your Display Name or Username - your username being the one you selected when registering - to sign in, along with your password.
Q: I've seen some people around here making their text bold, or underlined. How do I do that?
A: Those effects are done using BBCoding, which works on every forum out there. For a list of the standard BBCodes out there, visit the kind folks at Wikipedia.
Q: How do I do hyperlinks?
A: A hyperlink is a direct, clickable link to another page/website slipped into a normal line of text - for example, the link to the Wikipedia page on BBCodes above. This is done through those same BBCodes.
Q: How do I become a staff member?
A: For the moment, Doc and Chantle can handle the running of the forum on their own for now. Rest assured that they are both keeping their eyes open for potential staff members, and will also accept applications when necessary. Repeatedly asking about a position, however, will not help your case, whether they're looking for staff or not. In fact, it will more likely lower the chances of your being promoted.
Q: How do I switch between forum skins?
A: You can change the skin displayed for your own interface by going to the Profile link at the top of the page, clicking on Modify Profile link, and selecting your desired skin from the drop-down menu in the fourth box down.
More questions will be added as needed.
