Here is a FAQ that will help new members around the forum. More will be added in the future, if you can think of anything else, post here, or PM me: Here is a post with many questions that are answered: 24zone.proboards92.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=registration&thread=1147156062&page=1Forum Features When the forum is updated to Version 4, I will post a section that will tell about the new features, and explain the forum. 1.) PMing- PMing or Private Messaging is one of the most useful things on the boards. a.)To check your PMs, under the top menu bar, where it says, "Hey, X, you have X messages", click on X messages. From there you can read your PMs. While in your inbox, I suggest you go to preferences, and click, "Email me When I receive a PM". I would also recommend selecting the pop-up notification box. b.)To PM someone, click on their name, then click 2.) Searching: In the top menu button, hit "search" to search the forums. ***More to Come***

First of all, to be an active member of the forum, you need to know how to post.
You can create a new subject (thread) by clicking onto a board, and clicking the "New Thread" button. You can also create a new poll, and mark as read.
While viewing a post, you can reply going to the bottom of the page, and typing a quick reply, or hitting the "quote" button. This puts the words of the post that you quoted into a box. Use the quote box often, it helps to maintain the flow of the thread.
Stickied threads are threads set apart from the normal threads, located at the top of a board. They are in white. Stickies are there for a reason - it is important that you read them. Some stickies are locked, meaning you can't reply. Threads can also be locked or deleted by a moderator. If you look at your posts, there is a button that says "MODIFY". Use this button often!! Don't create a new post as an update to something you already posted. If we see this, that post will be deleted.
Upgraded features: You can now give a person "karma", which is a meter of how good a person POSTS, not if you like them or not. You can give a person good karma by hitting "Exalt". This is located under the users avatar, on the left hand side of a post.
**This thread will be periodically updated. I expect an update will happen in the next few days. Any questions or ideas to add to the FAQ can be posted in this thread.**
