I'm totally brand new to the Proboards malarkey, as I'm sure most of you are too, so this thread is just for really basic things you spot. Like, for example, when there's a new post on a thread the grey dot on the icon of a folder (in the far left column) changes to blue. I think this works exactly the same way as when the little icons turned orange on the old TTB. So yeah, anything you notice, anything you find out how to do or how it works, post about it here

Karma - I don't know what the point of this is but you can 'exhalt' someone (give them a plus point) or 'smite' them (give them a negative point) and it works out a score. I think it's just a fun thing...
We can keep the option, or turn it off.

Hey Nines! I think the 'bookmark' thing let's you keep track of topics you want to watch, I guess we'll see though! As for your profile, just under the header image is a menu bar, click 'profile' on there

Yeah I guessed that, and I tried bookmarking a board but I don't see the point of it if it doesn't keep track of all your bookmarks in one place. I'll try experimenting more.
And for the profile page, I see no edit option...

Look for the bit that says this "Member's Bio - Modify Profile - Bookmarks" on the Profile page, then click where it says Modify I think maybe when you click Bookmarks on that menu that might be where they're tracked?

I've been on proboards before, but I haven't thoroughly explored it.
Yes, the blue/gray things work the same way.
An idea that I've seen before with the karma is to change it to house points instead.
When you post a new topic, you can choose the type of symbol it will have.

Sometimes it has a "New" symbol thing next to the topic. *shrug*

The new thing next to each topic is also like the orange and white things on the old TTB. The white ones would be when there's nothing and the orange ones would be when there's new next to it.
Question: (not that you didn't know this was a question or anything) How many people actually care about the karma thing? I don't, but I'm wondering what others thing. I'm on another forum on proboards, and I have -33 or something, because I don't care. People were smiting each other for fun, but some people got mad, and made the leader of the board change it again.

Sometimes it has a "New" symbol thing next to the topic. *shrug* I did think that the 'new' thing indicated that it was a new topic, but just figured it means a new post on that thread Also if you click the 'new' icon it will take you to the newest posts! The topic of a gallery is about somewhere on another thread and can't be bothered to say it again... As for smiting, as it's new to me right now the idea of smiting is somewhat amusing

Oh yeah, I was just confused because sometimes the 'new' thing was there and other times, it isn't. So, the white to blue thing means a new post in a topic, and the 'new' thing means a new post in a thread. Gotcha.
And sometimes, in a thread with a new post, the folder thing up by where they have "Author" is flaming.
