How to upload an avatar image
For those who know how to do it, cool. But for those who are new, it's quite simple. In the avatar section of your profile, all you have to do is to upload your own avatar from the server of your own that is at least 150x150 in length. Any avatars that deals with hate, erotica, extreme politics, extremism of any kind will not be allowed or you'll receive a PM from the staff asking you to remove it. This is a family-friendly forum and I like to keep it that way.

Thank you

How to upload a GIF image
To add a GIF image, you'll find lots of them at giphy.com/ where you look it up in the search box, then  if a GIF image suits you, click on the chain link icon where it'll be automatically copied to the clipboard. Then click on the insert image button when you make a post or in the quick reply, paste the image link and click OK. Here's what it looks like below.

How to add your own forum signature
Adding your own signature is very easy and simple just along as the images are not too big and over the top that violates the rules and the text is not over the top and violates the rules as well. The signature image range is set between 88x31 and 700x300. If you want an image banner to be made for you, PM me and I'll get started on it.

How to report a member's post
In the 19 years I've been on Proboards, I've seen it done on other forums in the past.

If at anytime you see a post that is mean-spirited, too extreme, a post that targets another member or anything of the kind that doesn't meet this forum's rules, follow these three steps.

1. Click on the post options button where you'll see the cog gear icon.

2. In the post options drop-down, you'll see a report post option like this in the screenshot where I circled the said option and click on the report post.


3. Once you've done that, a report post submission box will pop up, and type the reason(s) for reporting the offensive post made by the member. Then after you've done that, click on the report post button to submit your report to the staff. If me or anyone on my staff find it offensive and doesn't meet the rules, the said post will be deleted and given the member the first of three warnings.
