How do I give moderators their rank outside the board they moderate?
First go to the Administration Area of your board, now click on the 'Edit Member Groups' link in the Manage Members category. In the text area titled 'Extra Groups:', you can a group for the moderators of your board. If you want to have rank images under the moderator's rank, use HTML in the 'Extra Groups:' field. Like this...
Moderator<br/><img src='URL OF IMAGE'/>
If you used this code, 1 rank image would be added under the rank title. here is an example of a group with 5 rank images...
Moderator<br/><img src='URL OF IMAGE'/><img src='URL OF IMAGE'/><img src='URL OF IMAGE'/><img src='URL OF IMAGE'/><img src='URL OF IMAGE'/>
Click on the Edit Member Groups submit button. Now go into the profile of the moderator that you want to give this rank to. Near to the base of the profile, there is a drop down selection of the member groups on your board. Select the 'Moderator' group that you have added (don't worry if you see HTML in the drop down list). Save the Profile of the member. Now when viewing the profile of the moderator outside the board they moderate, their rank will be displayed as the custom member group that you have added. When you are viewing the post profile of the moderator within the board they moderate, their rank will be displayed as the main 'Moderator' rank, not the custom member group you have created. The moderator will also keep their powers within the board they moderate.
Is there a code to remove the adverts on my board?
It is against the ProBoards terms of service to tamper with the adverts on your board without paying for the ad-free service. Any board found using a code that violates the ProBoards TOS will risk deletion.
If you would like to pay for the ad-free service on your board, go to the Admin Area >> Paid Features >> Ad-Free.
How many codes can I have in my headers and footers?
You may have an unlimited number of codes in your headers and/or footers. To add a new code, simply start a new line, and then paste in the next code. You may leave as much space as you like between the codes in your headers and footers. Although there is no limit to the headers and footers, some codes that you use on your board may conflict with each other. The thread where you find a code will normally tell you if any codes will conflict, and if there is a way to fix the problem if they do.
Go into Administration Area. In the 'Customize Your Board' category, click on the link titled 'Customize Board Images'. Scroll down to the 'Avatars' section. You will see that under the Bart Simpson image, there is a cell that appears to be empty, but there is actually a 1x1 transparent image in the center of this cell. This is the image that is given as an avatar to all members unless they choose otherwise by modifying their profile. Paste the URL of your 'No Avatar' image into the input to the right of this blank cell. Click on the Save Changes submit button.
There may be an existing code in the index to remove the specific image, so you may want to take a look before doing this. Go into 'Customize Board Images' in the admin area. Find the image that you would like to remove from your board. In the input to the right of the image, paste in the URL of a 1x1 transparent image. If you are not able to find, or create a 1x1 transparent image, use this...
How do I view the IP address of a member on my board?
The IP address is recorded when the member makes a post or sends a private message. If given the power to view IPs, a Global Moderator or Administrator will be able to view the IP in the bottom right hand corner of the member's post. If you wish, you can give, or take away the power to view IPs of Global Moderators and/or Administrators by going into 'Set Admin/Gmod/Mod Powers' in the admin area of your board. The IP address is not recorded unless a member makes a post, and it is not possible to create a code that records the IP address when a member registers.
Is there a code to change the 300 character limit in signatures?
There is no code. It's not possible on ProBoards.
But, there is another way to get around the character limititation in your signature. Go to the Admin Area of your board, now go into 'Set Censored Words' in the 'Set Restrictions' category. Now assign a word to your signature content, for the example, we will use 'MySignature'. You can then use the censored words feature to switch this to the content of your signature, like this...
MySignature=This signature can go over the 300 maximum character limit in my signature text area, because i am using the censored words feature of my board to change the word 'MySignature' into whatever i want.
But make sure that you keep this all on one line. If you start a new line, your board will pick it up as being a new censored word.
Now go into the profile of the person that you want to have this signature, and type in the word that you have censored into the signature text area. In this case, we would use the word 'MySignature'. When you save the member's profile, it will then switch the word 'MySignature' to the text you have set in the censored words list.
In the Admin Area, go to 'Edit Forum Colors'. Now remove the color name or hex code from any inputs for the areas that you want to appear as being transparent. So say for example you wanted to make the cells with the class 'windowbg2' to be transparent on your board, you would scroll down to the input to the right of where it says 'Window 2 Background Color:', then remove anything that may be in this field. You can do this with any class on your board by simply removing the color in the input.
It takes alot of hard work and patience to be a good coder, and a huge amount of determination if you want to be anywhere near Peter or Webworldx in coding ability. Here are a few coding tutorial websites...
These coding sites and tutorials range over different coding levels, so make sure that if you are a beginner, you start on something easy. If you go right into complex coding, you are likely to fail, and you may be put off from coding all together. For people just starting to code, a good place to learn is W3 Schools.
Another very good way to learn how to code, is by looking over existing codes, trying to figuer out how they work, and learning as much as you can from other coders and the codes they have written. Once you have a good understanding of how the codes work, and how they are put togther, you should be able to write codes of your own.
Many of you request codes that will be a feature of Proboards version 4. There is not much point in us creating codes that will become useless when PBv4 is released, so please don't be dissapointed if the code you requested is not made due to this reason. Please do not ask "when will PBv4 be released", because we do not know. If you would like to find information, or ask questions related to PBv4, please go to PB Support.
