;D I know, I'm new, but I couldn't help but notice you only have a thread for introductions! I propose an introduction/leaving board. There, people can make their own threads, introducing themselves and asking for help if they're new, as well as if people are leaving forever, there could be a subboard for that, and for just short little going away trips, that would go in the main board. ^_^ I'm absolutely sure you know what I'm talking about, but, just in case you don't, I'll include a link to the intro/leaving board of meh main hideout. ^_^ (not meh site) www.warriorcatsarpg.proboards49.com/index.cgi?board=introThat should give you some idea. ^_^ Now, as for the other suggestion I have, it's a code suggestion. I've used it on my own roleplay site (which failed! xDD) for so that people would be absolutely positive they've filled out the correct form. I don't have a guest friendly board for fear of trolls, which are really common, unfortunately. >_> So, I'll just take a screenie, as well as post the link to the code necessary to be used. Screenie of the code in action: Click here.and the code itself: socal.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=PBCODES&action=display&thread=7224When using the code, be sure to put a \ before apostrophes. (ex, "What is your chara\'s name?") Well, Those are my suggestions! If you even read this, thank you for your time. ^_^ Edited by admin to hyperlink page-stretching picture.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. However, I highly doubt they'll be implemented. I'll explain why below.
For the first one, because we have an introduction thread, as you've noticed, which suffices for that purpose (although I had been wondering for a while if it should become a board instead, so thank you, now I'll be considering that even more). We also have a board where people can ask questions, which, coincidentally, happens to be merged with the Suggestions board, which is here, where we're talking now. And lastly, we have a board entitled 'Absences', where people can announce departures of any kind.
As for the code, that's a very nifty gadget, indeed, and I do greatly appreciate your willingness to share it. ^^ However, I don't see a need for it, either. Many role-plays on ProBoards, or at least the ones I've looked at, greatly prefer classic application forms. It shows that people are willing to read indications and rules carefully, and to put some effort into creating their character. Effort is the only way to obtain quality. We haven't had cases of misplaced applications here, at any rate.
Your suggestion will remain here, of course, for other admins to see. If they think differently, I'm sure we'll discuss about it and we'll see what happens. ^^

Thanks for taking the time to make this suggestion thing. I think we should make it a board, too. No one really sees it. Plus it won't clutter the thread when people add little comments. Speaking of which, you cold go ahead and make a post about yourself, if you want.

Thanks for the link to the image resize code.
I'll have to see if this one works. I've tried others, but they conflicted with other codes on the board. xD
