Nation,
Proboards has some silly default features that I really don't like, so I am going to explain how to fix this for your accounts, which will make for a better experience for you here, and anywhere else you might use proboards.
ENABLE DRAFTS & POSTING DEFAULT
Now, this isn't a guarantee, but turning the 'Enable Drafts' option on, might save you on some potential heart-ache should you run into issues with a browser, or hitting the back button etc. I still recommend using google docs or word pad or anything else other then relying on proboards and writing directly on them .. however its still wise to enable this thing
Also, the posting default is set to "PREVIEW MODE" which is IDIOTIC at best. If you have tried copy/pasting or coding in preview mode, you've probably come across errors a plenty, or unable to get the preview mode to work properly, hence leading to editing role-plays constantly after posting them. The easy fix is making BBCODE your default
So here is how to do both ..
CLICK PROFILE
EDIT PROFILE
SETTINGS
-> ENABLE DRAFTS (select YES)
-> POSTING DEFAULT (select BBCODE)
SAVE
Done and Done!
As a side note, please don't play with the "DISPLAY GROUP" options .. it just creates extra work for me to go and undo what you did lol and its not an easy click of a button for me unfortunately. I have to remove groups and then add them back in the proper order etc
Anyways - Hope this helps you all out
