I'll try and post things here that can help you use Proboards better.
First, there are some small blue links on the upper left edge everywhere. They are hard to see sometimes but you can use them to get around the board. Or you can just use "home" in that welcome bar up top.
If you are using firefox, I strongly suggest downloading this official addon: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 . It will make every single ad dissapear, including that annoying one up top! I don't even see that google thing which is really nice. =) I'm not sure if there's something similar for Internet Explorer or not.
Also, I have been having some problems with Proboards eating my posts only after I click preview. I've been working on fixing it, but as I've always had message board systems eat my posts, I've got into the habit of doing "select all" and then "copy" any long text I'm about to post so if the board eats the post I still have it. On Proboards this only happens after you've done "preview" so if you don't do preview it won't happen at all. I've been working on fixing it and it's a little better. Also "modify" doesn't work a bunch of times. Just, if you've written a really long confessional post, I would copy the whole text and paste it somewhere else to save it just in case.
More as I think of them.
