ProBoards is a little different than some community boards. Please follow the instructions below that explain the registration process and some of ProBoard's nuances.
1) Access the board by clicking this link for Unified Regional Forum
2) At the top of the forum, you will see the "register" option. Click that option and input the registration information.
3) Create a one-word (no spaces) user name for registration. Please note that you can change how your profile name appears in the forum after you have activated your profile. Please note that the one-word user name you choose will the name you must use when you log in each time.
4) Select your password and type in your valid e-mail address. ProBoards utilizes a validation program for every registration.
5) Complete all necessary information fields and any other optional fields you would like to complete. Remember this information can be edited after your profile is activated.
6) After you have completed the registration profile and agreed to the ProBoards terms of use, ProBoards will send a validation e-mail to the address you used for registration. Go to your e-mail and click the validation link. It has the validation number on that link. If you do not see the ProBoards e-mail within 10 minutes, you may want to check your spam folder. Some e-mail services may classify the ProBoards e-mail as spam.
7) After you have followed the instructions prompted by the validation link, you are ready to be active on our forum!
8) You can change and/or update your profile information whenever you wish. You can upload most avatars to appear on your mini-profile that appears to the left of each entry you post on the forum.
9) Please note that any major changes you make to your profile (like updated e-mail address, password change, etc) will prompt the ProBoards system to send you a confirmation e-mail to verify the change. Just like when you first registered, you will need to open your e-mail and click on the validation link.
10) Please be sure to follow guidelines related to signature lines for individual profiles. This is one of the very few things for which we have guidelines and requirements. The Region utilizes membership badges and other images related to membership status and other achievements. Most members will have a code in their signature line that links to their membership badges. Please do not alter or delete that code. Please notify the Quæstor General's Office if you have any questions about your profile.
11) Once you are registered on the forum, ProBoards will classify your profile as "new" by default. A Quæstor or Admin will need to modify your profile permission so that you can access boards assigned to your region or community. Please allow 24 hours for your profile to be modified and updated.
