FORUM BASICS

[Lady Fi]

This thread will just explain the basics of the forum, if anyone needs anymore help, feel free to PM me or any of the other staff.

• PROFILE
  
  
• Your profile allows you to tailor the forum to your own prefences, you can add singatures and avatars, personal text, locations, and change the forum colours.
  
  
• To access your profile follow this link;
  
  
  
  
• Then;
  
  
  
  
• Once you've done this, you can enter the URL code of your avatar image, remember to add the height and width, and add a signature;
  
  
  
  
• You can change the colour schemes (skins) and correct the time zones, as the forum is set to GMT +0 for English time, just drop down the menus and chose;
  
  
  
  
• Any feedback on the skins is always appreciated and a thread can be found in the News and Questions board.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• SIGNATURES AND AVATARS
  
  
• The easiest way to upload a signature and avatar is by going to one of these sites;
  
  Photobucket
  
  ImageShack
  
  
• From there you take the code in the tags for the avatar and the code in the tags for the signature.
  
  
• While there is no restriction on sig size, please try to keep it to a reasonable size e.g. 500 by 200/250 pixels
  
  
• Avatars can be up to a 100 by 100 pixels.
  
  
  
  
  
• The Member Rankings
  
  HOBBIT - 0
  HUMAN - 100
  ELF - 200
  ISTARI - 400
  VALAR - 800
  
  
• Once you get to 100 posts you can have a unique member title.
  
  

I hope this clears up a few things for new comers, if anyone can think of something to add to this then they can PM me, and I'll sort it out. ;D
