Profile tab:

if you want to edit your profile click on button on right side (when viewing your profile) saying Edit profile.

now view changes a bit

Avatar is where you choose how we see you. You can upload your own avator or make a proboards one. You can choose whichever avatar you want.

Personal is where you can set display name, change mail, password, gender etc.

Social is where you can add your social profile information; Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and etc...

Settings helps you navigate our forum, you can choose to have participated threads shown when there are new posts there, if you belong to more than one group you will be able to select which one is shown in this tab.

Privacy as it name says it handles privacy of your profile.

Notifications there are 2 types of notification - notification you get over your profile in forum and notification you get over your mail. Except for new threads and posts, all other options can be set to notify you both way; and think all notifications are self explanatory.

If you choose for mail notification you can choose between

instant & smart - I took it from support so not to be any confusion
Instant is just as it sounds, instantaneous (within reason of course)! Smart tries to group the notifications intelligently and waits until you have two or three before sending out an email with them, hopefully preventing you from being inundated with emails if you're subscribing to something that throws a lot of daily notifications.
daily & weekly - do what it says sends notification once a day or week

If you don't want to get notification from certain board or want notification about new threads only from specific board you need to set specific settings for that board

Badges are something from proboards as well as gifts in view profile tabs and shouldn't concern us unless you want to spend money I think

When you are looking at a thread on the board, the page controls appear in the top left and search on the right. If you do not see that bar, scroll the page slightly and the controls will pop up again. You can choose by Prev, page number, or Next.
