Posting with proboards
Posting on Skyriders is a required part of role play here. Some may be familiar with Proboards while others may not be. As such, we feel that it is important for you, the members, to stay informed and be up to date on information regarding game play and other features. Since this site is a play-by-post role playing game, you must know how to post in order to play the game.
With the idea of education in mind, we have created this helpful little guide in order to inform you of the terms you will see when participating on this site.
Option 1: If you are posting a new thread on the site, you will go to the section you wish to post in and click the button titled "create thread". Once you've done that, simply type the information you wish to post into the blank box for you to type in and then click the button titled "create thread" at the bottom of the box where you typed your information and this will post your work to the board. In the event that you are posting a new thread, please follow the posting key and mark your topic accordingly!
Option 2: If you are replying to someone else's thread, you will click the button titled "reply" or simply type in the box titled "quick reply" at the bottom of the thread. Once you've typed in what you wish to post in reply, simply click the button titled "post quick reply" and wait for a response.
Posting Key
| Open | This is included in a topic's title when it is open for anyone and everyone to join. This means that there can and will be multiple members role playing in the same topic, so a posting order must be established. |
| Private | This is included in a topic's title when it is for members who have been specified out of character. This means that unless you have been invited to join the topic marked as Private, you have no business posting in this topic. Most often this type of topic will have names listed in the title as well as being marked Private. |
| Finished/Complete | This will be included in a topic's title when it has been finished by all who are posting in it. This is a way of letting the staff know that this topic needs to be locked and moved. |
| (WIP)/[WIP] | This is included in a topic's title when the person posting it hasn't completed whatever information is inside. This is typically used when posting a character or organization application, but at times may be used by staff when they're working on adding or updating things on the site. Members outside of staff may also use this if they're working on a post, but had to stop working for whatever the reason, but it should be removed and the post should be finished in a timely manner so as to prevent clutter. |
| 18+ | This is included in a topic's title when the persons involved are required to be a mature audience. In other words, it is a topic that contains sexually suggestive content, high volumes of violence, and strong language. This is typically coupled with a Private tag for the topics. |
