Hello, I am new to ProBoards have a few of questions pls.

[kayren]

Hello, I'm Kayren and I'm new to Pro-board's I hope what I am posting  goes here if not again I am new just guide me in the right direction and I'll try again.

Hi as stated above I am Kayren I am looking for a great forum to get with my friends and members from a previous group'forum that has went mostly to cell use. We do tags(from Psp-paint shop pro) we like to get together and talk catch up,and play games on the forum...is this allowed here? I have searched for  other forums so we can get back together, but they are down or have went cell use only or just dying out. I have a few questions below any feedback is appreciated I want to make sure I have found a place for us to come together before I create a forum. Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Kayren

My Questions are...

Is Pro-board a message board like in groups and communities/forums? Like can I have members and post graphics, different type threads and etc.?

Can I decorate my forum or add a pretty skin? Or does Pro-boards have a skin library I can pick or choose from?

Is there a cost for ad free message boards?

Yep! ProBoards (no hyphen) is a message board / forum. This support board is literally what ProBoards is, so anything you see here, you can have on your own forum.

Can I decorate my forum or add a pretty skin? Or does Pro-boards have a skin library I can pick or choose from?

Yes to both! PB offers 3 different levels of theme making -- basic (default layout with colour changes), intermediate (default layout with additional & more granular colour & font changes), and advanced (all of the above, plus the ability to change the actual physical structure of your forum).

There is also the PB Theme Library, as well as the Theme Request Board , plus there are a lot of communities like Adoxography Co. that focus on providing theme designs for PB users.

Is there a cost for ad free message boards?

Yes, there is. PB is free because of ads, so if you want to remove them you have to pay. You can pay in a monthly sub, or you can pay for individual months, though it's important to note that these are based on average page views as well. "One month" of ad free gets you 50,000 ad free page views OR until the end of the calendar month, UTC time, whichever comes first. Since page views aren't unique on PB, it's recommended you keep ads enabled for guests and turn them off for members so as not to use up your page views unnecessarily. For subscription folks, PB also offers an overage option so if you ever find yourself out of your 50k views early, they can automatically add more views to your forum (but not exceeding the max amount you opt in for).

Oh wow Thank you so much Kami The prompt reply was awesome and made the smile as well as your name, it's so pretty. I am, going top create my board  soon I am so happy to finally find a great message board/forum again. Yay!!!

May have like a Tag type forum? (what we do is make pretty images we call tags and then offer them to out group members, No sell or anything like that, it's all free and something we do as a hobby and enjoy. I ask because some forums have rules about things like like. Thank you.

Hi again.... As I was starting to create mt forum I noticed that there are three choices to choose from.
Being new to ProBoards I am not sure which to use and any help would be very much appreciated. They are these .freeforums.net  .proboards.com & .boards.net  as you are getting ready to create a forum/message board, which do I use? I was guessing the the second one (proboards.com) ...but I'm not sure.

You can use whatever is free for the name you choose that you prefer. PB owns all of them, there's no difference other than the names (:

& yeah you can have a tag forum. Tag forums used to be super common but kind of died out with the passage of time. As long as you don't break the PB ToS you can have whatever forum you want (:

 Oh cool Thank you so much Kami...I am a very happy lady..I found a forum and everything looks like it's going to be great. I'm so happy I search and found ProBoards.

Thank you! Hugs Kayren

Yay!!!! I created my group/ forum and I am slowly getting it set up. I am so happy  still learning how to do things  but having a great time  practice makes progress right?
