I've decided since I have learned from experience how Proboards can tend to be real confusing or have places where things are hard to find, that I would put together this thread of my tips to help people get around the board easily. If you have questions about what's on here, go ahead and ask.
Pages
So one major difference this forum has from others are the pages on the threads! It is really awkward to go from page one to page two on here. From first glance you have to type in the page number into a tiny box above and below the content of the thread. But--there is a simpler way! No keys required to push!
In front of the box it says something like, "Page 1 of 2." Hover your mouse over "Page". A little box bubble will appear with links two the different pages. All you have to do is click one!
If you want to go directly to the last page in a thread, you can also hover your mouse over the 2 in "Page 1 of 2," and click on it. If the last page is four, then it would say "Page 1 of 4." You'd click on the 4, and that's the same if it were a 5 or 6 or 20!
Personal Messaging/Player Messaging
Yes, there is Personal Messaging (PM) in Thunder Coast Pack. It's just found in a really bizarre place on the screen. Go to Home--you must be on the Home Page for this to work. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, but stop before the chat box. There are three long boxes stacked on top of each other, and as a group they are called "Info Center". The top box is Forum Statistics--that is where you will find what says something like: "Your Personal Messages: 0 New: 0." This is on the right side of that top box. Hover over it, and at least the numbers will be linked to your Inbox. From there, you can write and delete messages.
