I am unfamiliar with Proboards forums. Where do I begin?
A good place to begin is in your personal Profile. Through your Profile you can access and customize your avatar, privacy settings, notifications and more.
When your profile is to your liking, we suggest a visit to A Man Needs A Name to introduce yourself.
