First thing people usually do after making an account is going to their profile!
Step 1Click on "Profile" at the top of your page
Step 2This step is showing you everything you need to know on your profile. This is your "Summary" basically the front of your user profile.
In
purple is your
rank. Your rank will level up as you post, each time your rank levels up you will also receive site currency for leveling up.
In
blue is your
edit profile this will be the one you use the most in order to change your display name and some of your information on your profile. Next you have
send message which you will use in order to pm other members if you are on their profile and finally you have
report which is a way to report a member if they are rule-breaking.
Please note, reporting a member will not alert them that you have done so.In
orange is your
username and it shows if you are
online or offline.
In
green is your
status, this is a little quote or saying that will be displayed to others.
In
pink is your
site currency, you earn site currency by creating threads, responding to threads, ranking up and joining in on events.
Please note your site currency does not mean game currency, these are two completely different things. Also the currency has changed to Bones since this image was taken.In
yellow is where you can find your
recent threads/posts, as well as other members as long as you go to their profile. It's one of the most used features, at least for myself. It's easy to click on a members page and see what their lastest threads/posts have been.
Step 3In this step, I will show you the rest of the tabs, though you probably won't use most of them very often.
Activity is basically like recent posts/threads except it shows everything the user has done.
Following is where you can see activity from members you are following.
Friends is people who you follow and they follow back, you can see here if they are online or not
Groups is where you can see what groups you are in, mainly for staff and high positions to allow them permission throughout the site.
Notifications is where you will receive notifications when you are tagged you will also receive notifications on bookmarked threads.
Step 4In this step, I will be showing you how to change your avatar.
You can upload an image or just use the default one, make sure you hit save!
Step 5I made this step into a gif because this tab has a lot of important information on it. Your
display name can be changed however your
username will always remain the same. Your display name will be lowercase when you first sign up so if you want it capitalized you will have to go here and do it.
Once you scroll down the next important section is your signature, people like to use this to put a little image or quote into it. It will show up through your pms and through your posts. Below is some basic coding for you that will center an image if you want to put it in your signature
[center][img src="IMG URL HERE"][/center]
Then below that you have your
Wolvden ID, this is basically your ID on wolvden.
Wolvden Account, please post the link to your account on Wolvden
Lionden account, if you have one please post the link to your Lioden account.
Charaters RPed is for all of your characters you are currently RPing, make sure you hit Shift+Enter every time you add a new name otherwise it will look weird.
Shipper is for if you have a shipper on the site, basically a relationship tracker/thread you use to find a relationship for your characters.
Tracker is for is you have a tracker on the site, basically for tracking your characters or even your threads.
Step 6In the
settings tab, there is only one thing I want to show you, mainly because everything else explains itself. You need to
enable drafts, this makes it so if your page randomly refreshes or anything happens it will save a draft for you, now does this happen every time, no, ProBoard is weird BUT the majority of the time it will save it for you.
