BASIC INFO ABOUT FORUM FEATURES!


Here is a quick guide of some of the basic features of the forums (though detail is included free of charge). Enjoy and please pm me or a member of the staff if you have any questions :) (Click on pictures to see numbers more clearly)
FM



1) Click this button to return to the home page of the forums (can also click the clan logo)

2) Click this button to go to the arcade were fun games offered by our clan, and a pretty sleek high score system is offered.

3) Click this link to go to your controls, a more detailed guide further down.

4) Click this link to see a complete list of all registered accounts on the forums; this includes applicants, allies, and retired members.

5) A quick link to your message center were you can send messages and receive them. When you receive a message a large red tinted message will appear on the top of each page anyways, just in case you’re blind :P

6) Click this link to see all recent posts on all topics that are accessible to your account.

7) Click this link to see a complete calendar that lists all Birthdays that every member has entered into the database and events that are coming up in the future.

8) Click this link to find a specific post, topic, anything in forums.



9) A complete list of all members that are online on forums (excluding members that have logged in as invisible) as well as any guests or bots online.

10)A quick view of events that are happening soon, courtesy of the calendar and it’s system to see all of these on the front page.

11)A list of birthdays of that day will be displayed here.

12)A list of the different types of members in the forums, excluding bots and applicants. Upon clicking any of the member ranks you will see a list of all members that are part of that group.

13)Various info about the forums as a whole, mainly miscellaneous info that does not fit anywhere else :P



Understanding how to post an event is critical if you are going to try to host your own event.

14)Click on the “calendar” button to return to the page show above, useful if you only need to return to the calendar.

15)A quick link to a useful website (external, though safe) that converts times around the world.

16)Click this button to post your own event, a quick guide on how to post one will follow.

17)Click the “>>” to go to the next month to see future events or to post your own ( also a “<<” going to the last month)



18)Simply enter the date of the event.

19)Enter the time of your event, BEWARE, the time must be in GMT or else members will be confused about what time it is.

It is generally better to post a short description of your event with a title, and link back to the topic that you have posted in the event section of the forums. This makes it easier for people to get more info and for you to not have to type as much.


20)

-> Front page: Displays a quick link to the clan rules, which must be followed and displays some basic information about your account.
-> Manage subscriptions: here it will display any new posts on any topics or forums that you have signed up for, like a rss feed it will let you know when something knew has been posted.
-> Manage bookmarks: You can also bookmark any topics that you are worried that you will forget about. Any bookmarked topics will be displayed here.
-> Manage Drafts: Here you can continue to edit any unsaved work (private messages, topics, etc) that you want to continue to work on.
-> Manage attachments: As of this moment you are not allowed to post any attachments on the boards, be aware that may change in the future.

21)

-> Edit basic info about your account, like msn, email, birthday, Runescape name, birthday, occupation, interests, etc.
-> Here you can edit and preview the block of either text, images, flash files found in the bottom of a lot of forum members posts. Be aware there is a limit to the amount of characters allowed.
-> Edit avatar: here you can add an avatar to be displayed with your name on any posts and throughout the forums. It can from another website (simply add URL of picture to right area) or from your own computer (go and find it :P)
->Account settings: here you can change your email and password at any time.

22)

-> Edit global preferences: Here you can change basic features of your account, such as default board style, time zone, and other useful features.
-> Edit Posting defaults: Pretty self explanatory, here you can change what is posted by default whenever you post on boards.
-> Edit Display options: You can change basic features that are displayed throughout the forums, though it is recommended to keep all of the options to “yes” to be able to access the full features of the forums.

23)

-> Inbox: Displays all pm’s that have been sent to you from other members of the board, beware there is a max amount of messages that you can keep in here before it automatically deletes the oldest.
-> Outbox: Displays all messages that are in line to be sent from you. You may cancel any before they leave this box.
-> Sent Messages: Displays all messages that you have sent to other members of the forums.

24)

-> Compose new message: Lets you create a new private message that you can send to any number of fellow clan members, simply enter their names in the left hand column, enter a subject, enter your message, and send it :)
-> Here you can see any pm drafts that you have saved to work on later.
-> Rules, folders & Settings: Here you can change basic features of your private messages, such as deleting preferences, rules to take when you receive a certain type of mail (from someone/subject, you make these yourself).

25)

-> Edit memberships: This section does not have much use to the average member because it simply displays details about each rank in the clan.
-> Manage groups: If you are a leader of a group you can make basic changes here.

26)

-> Manage Friends: Add or remove friends here.
-> Manage Foes: Same as above, except they are evil! MUHAHAHA!
27)
-> Manage Settings: Basic settings about the arcade, such as display preferences, and sorting preferences.
-> Manage Favourites: If you have selected favourite games, you can see them here, or delete them.

If there is anything here that you think should be added, just PM me. If you have read all of that, congrats! And I hope that this goes to good use in TPL.

Of course I won't get mad. I just hope most of that info is correct, and of course the forums will change over the years, so go ahead :)
