This area will help you to find answers to our frequently asked questions. If you need more help please contact us. Please remember that we don't offer skinning support.


I cannot access my Admin CP
Our admin CP's require cookies. Please make sure to accept cookies from pro-board.com. If you are using a proxy server make sure it supports cokies. Many users cannot access their admin CP as some proxy servers mess up the cookies. If you accept cookies and / don't use proxy servers you should be set.
Do you host images for our forums ?
No, we do not host images, but there are a number of free image hosting providers. We recommend www.uploadit.org.
Do you offer skinning support ?
We do not offer skinning support but you can still ask your questions in our support forums. Our support forums feature user help areas where Pro Board members help other Pro Board members.
Do you offer FTP access?
We do not offer FTP access as our forum files are shared files and used by every single user. If you need access to upload custom images simply use our image upload tool instead.
Is it possible to display the banner somewhere else ?
Our service is a free service which means we need a source of income or other benefits. The banners are hardcoded into the IB files and cannot be moved to different spaces. The only way to disable the banner is to upgrade to our VIP membership.
Can you install a custom language file for me?
We do not support languages other than english because of abusers. We have to understand what a board is about if it comes to abuse complaints.
How do I add meta tags to my board ?
Meta tags are important if you want your site listed in search engines. This howto will help you to create meta tags for your forums and explain how to add them to your boards. To add meta tags to your board simply choose the Meta Tag generator within your admin cp and insert them into your board wrapper at the very top after the title tag.
My users cannot register for some reason

If your users complain about registration problems do the following:

ACP Home -> Template Control Home -> Invision Power Board Template Set -> Register Sections -> Main Registration Form

At the top (after the javascript) find:

<form action="{ibf.vars.board_url}/index.{ibf.vars.php_ext}" method="post" name='REG' onsubmit='return Validate()'>

and replace it with:

<form action="{ibf.vars.board_url}/index.{ibf.vars.php_ext}?proboard=YOURID" method="post" name='REG' onsubmit='return Validate()'>

How do I get rid of the horizontal scrollbar ?
That's a bug if you use Internet Explorer. To fix this problem go to your admin cp, click CSS and use the following style function

html {
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:auto;
}
