David, I didn't care for that 'God' label myself. And although I don't personally rank members I am able to edit parts of the ranking. I can change the number of posts required, which I see no reason to do, & I can change the text involved with ranking, such as New Member. The 'God' designation has been changed to 'Supreme Member'. Though I'm not sure that's the adjective I'll stick with, I may think of a synonym I prefer. But, it won't be God, especially with a capital 'G'.
Thanks for the Proboard tutorials. I'm sure I'll be looking at those, since this is all new to me.

I saw that Sandy got her message from me inviting her here, so she should be joining us soon.  |

I've got to wonder where all the Guests are coming from? This group has only been active for about 24 hrs yet I've seen as many as 19 guests viewing this board. I've only told 4 of you so far about this group, so how can there be so many guests?

Well, I've changed the Supreme member rank to Prime. Prime somehow sounds better, supreme sounds too uppity.

I've only told 4 of you so far about this group, so how can there be so many guests? Pete because this group will have ads in the future I have to assume the guests are actually bots already going through the group checking for target words so that the ads are specific to what we're posting about. A website can code their pages to exclude bots though that doesn't always exclude all bots but they can also code their pages to include all bots and they can specify which bots they welcome in these forums. Because proboard makes money off of people clicking onto the ads or maybe that has changed to where they make money by allowing ads, anyway they would be very welcoming of all bots. I suppose I could disable adblock plus over at Phil's and see how many ads are seen. You said that the first 2 weeks is ad free, well after that we'll get a popup that covers most of the page asking us to disable our adblocker but we can click the "I'll do that later button", but the popup will show up again in a short while. I'll go see if I can capture that popup at Phil's and post it here. |

OK these are the type of ads we will be seeing in here in 2 weeks unless we want to click onto the later link on the above popup every time we click onto a new post. There's a top banner ad at the top of each forum which changes every time we click onto a new thread and there's also a bottom ad at the bottom of each thread. I have a very slow 768kb internet connection and these ads took less then 30 seconds to load. PS. when you add an attachment in here make sure you click the "insert" button and the "done" button in order to add it to your post. PSS. I just found out I can only add one attachment per post so in the next post I'll show the bottom ads.  |

I need to log out and click around in here to see whether this is like Phil's forum where if you're not login you get a large popup stating you have an adblocker on and to please disable it in this group. Actually now that I think of it I don't remember when the last time I log into Phil's group, maybe that popup comes up even if you are logged in. Yes that popup does show up even when you are logged into the forum so in 2 weeks everybody with an adblocker on in here will be seeing that popup.  |

I never run ad blocker on any of my forums that I am in. The ads are not that intrusive to me.

I had to register again after trying all day signing in with the user I first signed in with.
I have a feeling I will lose this one when I leave the board. I never can get to a sign in page that I can check to 'remember me'
I think the reason is I can never get the board to send me an activation key to my email. So I can not activate an account. It just signs me in till I shut down.
I will eventually work it out. I appreciate all other advice that has been given, thanks.

Well, I am back and had to register a new user again. For some reason when I sign up it says it will send me a confirmation in my email but I never get an email from them so I can't be confirmed. Now that is crazy. I have tried different emails too. So here I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
