I was thinking of making a proboards forum. Does anyone else have one? Are they reliable, easy to use, etc.?

I have one! :) It's very easy to use, and you can make your own skin easily.

Here it is, if you wanted to see an example of one:

Cool! Thanks for the examples.

My idea was to make a site specifically for contests. Is that a good idea?

Sounds like a great idea and I would highly recommend proboards. Some prefer invision free but proboards is much more common and more people know how to use it.

Let me know when you have this contest site up and running. I think I'd love participating. :)

My advice is that I wouldn't make it all contests. There really isn't anywhere to just talk to the other members.
Good luck with it!

I have a few questions about how you guys did stuff on proboards. Firstly I was wondering how you change the little picture which is normally a folder. And how Haldir o Lorien changed the pictures for the login stuff that and put a link in between the news place and header.

All this sort of information can be found on the proboards support forum. ;)

I have on too! telpeathgift.proboards34.com. I find it better in some way than Forums Place, but it has some setbacks, but still is #1
