One thing that I've noticed on other sites that would probably be useful on this one is a closed place where administrators can talk about board stuff. Is that something that would be useful for ya'll?

Looking more and more into it -- but considering the option of a go daddy domain name/web hosting to have more control than proboards give me.. anyone have any experience with go daddy?

The banner images on the site link to your photobucket account. Unless there's a specific reason for that I think it'd make more sense for them to link to the forum's home page.
Also as a suggestion, it would be nice if there were an alternate skin available for the forum which uses dark text on a light background.
As I have some sight issues the current colour scheme is rather hard on my eyes, and I know that there are a lot of people who have difficulty with light text on a dark background.

were actually looking into buying a domain as probaords is very limited in what it allows and would really like people to be able to choose their own particular genders as well other than just male female or undisclosed.

I think the pictures link to the photobucket simply because thats the location of the photos.. I'll see if I can change the link without messing up the pictures. ( I'm asking a friend that's a good artist to make better banner images ) For the alternate skin.. proboards won't allow the two types, which is another reason for considering paying for something from Go Daddy, I'll keep it on the priority list.  Gah~! -- modified the original post instead of a reply for some reason.. my bad.. |

I think proboards can have multiple skins, or at least I've seen proboard forums with multiple skin options before. I've never actually used proboards though so I'm not sure how it works.
Alternate hosting would probably be useful for the additional features and extra customisation options. I've never used go daddy so don't know what they're like for hosting.
Took a quick peek at their site though and it looks like they have phpBB and Simple Machines forums, both of which I've worked with in the past and found nice.

Just looked and it seems I can save another skin as a different name -- will work on it, but yeah more I think about the more I like the idea of different hosting; just gotta research more about it.. I'm learning as I go with all the website stuff. ^_^

If you ever need any help with the coding or technical things feel free to ask.
I don't claim to be an expert or anything and there are still a lot of things I don't know. But I've run/helped maintain a fair few forums in the past, made skins for a bunch more and helped out with coding and content on various websites.

bug: sometimes the page wants to load slow or not at all. I don't think it is my end as large pages load fast.
Suggestion: a place on our profile to list our types. just for convenience

Chat Server I can activate -- wasn't sure how many would be on at the same time if it would serve purpose. I can't figure out how to add things to profiles (they're pretty weak imo too).
And thanks for the offer to help -- I'm sure once we set up a better hosting site/domain name I'll need all the tips I can get.

I've worked with pro boards before.
The thing I love the best... Well, if you go into your admin options, you can add/change/edit the options for censored words. So you can make any word you want show up as a different word, which often leads to hilarity. For example, on this one board that I moderate, I set the censor so that any time someone types, "Motherf*cker" it shows up as "MILF hunter."
