Hi Everyone,
Two things about ProBoards that is different from Bella: we can have different "skins" or the colors displayed on the computer screen, and we can have "sub-boards." Bella allowed neither.
You might have noticed that Jaga and I set up a Genealogy board yesterday. What other ones might we have? I recall that Piwo (is he here yet? piwo, where are you?) thought we should have one devoted to political threads, so that those of us not interested in such topics would not have to read them (same for genealogy, etc.)
Also, when I played with my "modify profile" page, I saw that I could select one of two "skins" - I use the old, original one, so my screen is white, blue header bars, and black type. The "jaga" skin is multicolored.
Any suggestions?

Boy Nancy, you certainly do know how to shake a person up, boy, when I first read of Skins, the the first thing into my demented mind was, darn, those dang neo Nazi pest.
I just am not knowledgeable of the term,"skins". OK then, what are we then talking of?
Yes, yes, I know, ignorance is no excuse, but, I am ignorant and of the vast masses of the unwashed populace.

"Skins" refers to the "look" of the board or screen - took me awhile to figure this out.
What colors do you see as you read the forum?

I think too many subforums in not a good idea. My proposal is to have one forum for "Polish Culture" and second one "Off topic". I'm afraid Genealogy forum would stay empty for a way too long periods of time to be worth a separate entry.

We are always going off-topic, so how would that work?

Ha ha,
I was afraid of playing with skins too much but since Nancy talks about it. Does everybody now see "Jaga" terrible multi-color skin?
OK,
I changed the colors back to normal but Nancy is right we can play with the colors here and made it very patriotic - but then Kaima will be unhappy because everything will be
white and red

Jaga, your colors are wild! Nancy, I was just playing with it. I did not even try it because I was afraid that this would be permanent. Try your nancy skin

Jaga,
I see your picture on the left with the home, email, print icons under it. So where are the skins?

Charles,
when you say - alternate- do you mean one message is soft blue hued grey and then the next is lighter grey? I see all the messages as black text on a white background. This may be a difference in the "browsers" we are using .... thank you for answering.

I saw the reference to skins when we first started up. I did not try it, but rather had the impression each of us as individuals could change the colors our computer displayed.
Is that so, or is the skin what is 'braodcast'?
Yes, red and white would have me seeing red. I hate to say it Jaga & Nancy, but I kind of like it when you have the blues!

Kai, I like your Northern lights What is nice about skins - that everybody can chose what he/she wants. I am planning to do a green skin and also a patriotic skin for these who like white and red But I also like calm colors like blue and green the most
