Back in the saddle again?

Hi, I have made a couple of ProBoard forums in the past, just recently giving this a go again. OK, my mind is rusty, but I have to confess, its not been easy to -

1) post here at support - I just could NOT get back to my original (Jain) membership here at support so ended up with a 'new' account.

2) I have started creating my desired forum, but now I can't see how I can either Invite others from it OR 'join' myself as a member (other than admin).

Any hints/clues are greatly appreciated 🥺.

You can access your old account by entering your username (or email address) and the password for the account.   If you forgot the password, click on the forgot password link found on the login page and follow the instructions.  If I'm looking at the correct account, it shows you using a different email address for that account.  I would not recommend logging to that account yet as using more than one email with our service can cause browser confusion and possible login error.   Let's tackle the issues below and then come back to this.

2) I have started creating my desired forum, but now I can't see how I can either Invite others from it OR 'join' myself as a member (other than admin).

To invite others to your forum the easiest way is to email them the forum URL.


To create another account for yourself on the forum:

1.  Make sure you are logged in to your global account (proboards.com)

2.  Next, log in to your forum (if you are not already).
3.  At the bottom-right corner of the page is the User Bar: 

4. Click on the Switch Account icon:

5. On the Select Account page, the first link in the middle under the account list is "Create a new account on this forum. Click that and follow the instructions.


Please let me know how this goes and  if you have any questions.

I suppose it was 'new' users overload that stopped me from realizing that all I had to do was to Edit my admin profile to display the name I wanted shown on the forum. So that is now checked off my list 😉.

Thanks for the simple way to invite to new forum. I am also glad that can easily be made to work for me.

Regarding the 'dual' support forum accounts, I looked at both profiles and couldn't find how to see the emails associated with each account. Far as I am concerned, the original one could remain and (this) one post at this account could be let go OR, if possible, tacked onto the original account? No big deal for me either way.

Many thanks for your reply and directions. 😁

The email address should show IF you are logged into your account.

Logged in you go to Profile > Edit Profile, Personal tab.

At this point it's up to you and if you want access to the other account and especially the forums you previously created.

If interested, PM me and I can help you get it sorted.
