Well.A couple of times I've seen that people don't know how to post or where. So here's a lil guide. And yes. I just typed this up. It took me like 45 minutes. Ask Madlena how long she's been waiting for this stupid post. lol.
*Where to post? Look under the category topic and it shows what that WHOLE category is about.
*Whats a thread? A thread is something where you can talk about something specific you choose to talk about.
*How do I post a thread? Well here's an example. Lets say you wanna talk about your Action Replay. Go to offtopic, because it is not about Animalcrossing. Then click New Post at the right hand corner above the whole forum. Then post what you wanna say, {With a Topic}. If you want a poll, click I want to post a poll while you're writing your post. Check the checkbox. Then just click post thread.
*I want to reply to a thread someone has posted, How do I do this? There are two kinds of posting methods in a thread somebody else made, or your own. First is a quick post, and a FULL post. A quick post, is quick. First you just scroll down the page. There is a little box. Type what you want then click post reply. Now the FULL post, which I call it, is easy. Next to the big box at the bottom, there are two buttons. One is reply. And one is New post. Click reply if you wanna do a full post. Then you have alot of space to write what you please.
*I made TONS of spelling errors I can't even understand! What do I do to edit?! .Unfortunatly you only have an 1 hour to edit after you post. You go to the post you wanna edit. then under the post, theres an Edit button. Click it. Theres quick edit, and full edit. The quit edit is if you wanna quickly fix something real quick. Then the full edit is for something big you wanna fix.
*I need to PM the Admin/Moderators but I dont know how. What should I do? Under the 'big picture' at the top of the whole forum there are boxes underneath it. [Example-Home, Search, MemberList, Calender, Help, Tagpad, Contact.] You can hit contact, and I believe it will contact them very soon. Or you can go under Help and to lines under that it has private messages. It shows how many unread you have. And you can go into that and compose a message. Everyone gets them automatically.
* How do I change my avatar ,Signature, etc.? Go into your private messages. On the left side theres all these things you can go into. Like a menu. You can look down and there is a topic thingy that says Your Profile. Under that it has edit profile,edit avatar, and edit sig. and then you can change your password and anything else you wanna add so people can know things about you.
*I cant PM anymore and it says my inbox is full. How do I delete messages? You have to obviously go to your inbox. There are small boxes under Private Messages in INBOX. CLick the one all the way to the right. If you wanna delete ALL of the inbox messages. There is normally more than one page so keep doing this. Go to your sent box [go to the categories on the left side] and delete them to. Then delete in your trash box. Eventually its all deleted. Like Spring Cleaning!
*I wanna see my friends profile. How do I do this? Click on their name in a post for instance, and you can see there profile, thats a way to Private message them too.
*How do I know who is Moderator and who is Admin and Regular members? First of all there is 4 types of people. About 4 types. Regular members. Police. Moderators. And Administrators. To check this, in their posts it shows the Admins name is Green, Bold, Slanted, and Italixed(or whatever). Moderators is Pink. and Police has a Thing around there avatar that says Police. They are pink too but get more abilities. Regular members are just green.
