. HOW TO's ..How do I bookmark a thread? | At the top of a thread, a drop down box with the word "Actions." Click the Bookmark button and the thread will be added to your Bookmarks. Remember that there is an unlimited amount to how many bookmarks you can have.
How do I participate/unparticipate with a thread? | You cannot remove a thread from the "Participated" section, but you can mark it as read. Go to Select > New (unselect the ones you'd like to keep). Then, Actions > Mark as Read > Forever or whichever option you find best. You can also disable the Participated button showing up on your screen; go to your Profile, Edit, then Settings. Turn off "Show Participated" and save it.
How do I use the spoiler tag? | Next to the smiley fact on the fourth bar in Quick Reply or Reply, you should see a yellow face with a finger in front of its face. Click on it and a box should appear. This is where you can insert your spoiler text.

How do I upload images? | View a tutorial at Brownie's Easy Tutorials: Code and Images.
Tip: You can use sites like imgur, imgbb, & photobucket if you want to upload an image of your own that you've created. If the image was already on the internet, you can always link it as well by using image tags. Make sure that the image's URL ends .jpg, .jpeg, .png, etc. Another option is to insert the image through the forums, using the Insert Image or Add Attachment.

. WHY ..Why do some members have Custom Titles? | Custom Titles are given to members by staff through contests & special occasions. If you do PM a staff member for a Custom Title, it is unlikely you will receive one.
Why do some members have colored usernames? | Colored usernames are given to members by staff through contests. If you ask a staff member via PM for a colored username and did not participate in any contest, it is highly unlikely that you will receive one.
Why can I only PM staff members? | You need a certain amount of posts (2) to be able to PM other members, besides staff.
Why is my rank Warrior of Love, Dank Warrior, etc.? | These "ranks" are known as special ranks. They only last for one post and the stars will appear in different colors. For example, Dank Warrior has 3 Dorito chips. Note that there are more of these than the one's that are listed above. They're hidden and I don't know all of them, but it's said that there's at least 17 hidden ranks.
Why do people have pride flags in the corner of their profile? | Now extended from January to December, LGBTQ+ pride flags will be kept. Go to your Profile > Edit Profile > Personal > Show Your Pride? > Pick your flag.
Why can't I create a thread? | You must have 5 posts to be able to create a thread in most boards of the forums. If you would like to increase your post count, try posting in Forum Games or join a roleplay!
Why do I not have the option to PM other members? | The option to PM other members (minus staff) is available once you react the correct post count which is 2 posts.
Why is there a number on my profile? (ex: u30) | This number deals with a test we ran on the site.
Why can't I delete threads from my Participated list? | It's impossible, but there is a solution. Select the thread you wish to "delete," click the Actions drop down box, and select "Mark as Read" which will show another box of options. Choose whichever you prefer. Do remember if you do not participate in a thread for a week that it will disappear or drop down from your Participated thread list. Here's a better description from *Nightwhisper.

. WHAT ..What is the best size for my signature? | The recommended size is 500 x 250. Remember, your signature can only hold up to 500 characters. Also, if there are large images/gifs that consecutively follow a post need to be moved to a signature.
What are the monetary & trophy plug-ins used for? | Currently, they are for fun. Sometimes, Forum money is used in the Art Forum to "pay" for commissions. The monetary system and the trophy systems are no longer supported, so they cannot be updated.
What are the post numbers for each rank? | Kitten = 0-5 posts Kit = 5 - 25 posts Apprentice = 25 - 99 posts Warrior = 100 - 249 posts Senior Warrior = 250 - 499 posts Deputy = 500 - 999 posts Clan Leader = 1000 - 2499 posts Elder = 2500 to 7499 posts StarClan Member = 7500 - 2499 posts StarClan Leader = 25000 posts

. GLITCHES ..PMs & Bookmarks | Originally posted by a former moderator , "Go to Profile > Edit Profile > Notifications > Scroll down to the Personal Message/Bookmarks section > Uncheck > Save Changes > Recheck the square > Save Changes. This will turn off notifications for your PM's, cancelling the '1' above your messages, and then turning them right back on, so you'll get notifications when you actually get a message."
Errors | ProBoards' servers have been iffy lately, so don't freak out if you see any similar errors on the forums.

"Drag files here to upload" | This thread has some answers. In short, Right click the page > Inspect Element. Ctrl + F and search for the post you made then copy it into a text file.
Search Tool / Search Bar | The search tool or search bar might go wack from time to time. We do not have any control over this as it seems to be related to ProBoards server.
