If you are new to the forum habit, you might want to read this through. ^^ If you are still having problems in finding your way around the forum, you can PM any of the moderators. We'd be glad to help you out.
Okay, let's start with the basics.
Posting
Once you have found a thread/topic and want to post something about it, the easiest way to do it is to click the quick reply icon found at the bottom part of the board. The quick reply board appears and you can input your reply then. Once you're done, click POST. Easy as that.
Creating your own thread
To create your own thread, you must go to the right category and board first. When you've made your way there, click the create thread found at the upper right-hand side of the board. Then, input the subject and the message, and click CREATE TOPIC.
Creating a Poll
If you want to create a poll (for votation purposes), click the create poll icon beside the create thread icon. Then, input the subject, options and your message, and click CREATE POLL.
Modifying your profile
To modify or add something to your account profile, click the My Control Panel found at the right-hand side below the banner board. Then, click Edit My Profile found at the left-hand side of the Mini-Profile board that will appear. Once you have made the necessary changes, click SAVE CHANGES.
You can also add images and text to your profile. The avatar and signature will appear in every post you make. In order to do so, you have to be at your My Profile, of course.
Image Hosts
Your own image host is a necessity for every forum member. Right-clicking or direct linking to images is illegal in the net world. So, you must upload your desired images in your image host. Once the image is uploaded, the host provides the URL and the necessary tags. Recommended image hosts are http://www.photobucket.com and http://www.imageshack.com
Avatars
Avatars are the images that appear in the left-hand side of your post. The default image size for the avatar is 100x100. In order to place an image in your avatar, select My Own Avatar and input the URL of the image. NOTE: DO NOT direct link to images! You must save your image in your own photo host (Photobucket.com or imageshack.com).
Signatures
Your signature can be found at the bottom part of your posts. You can add images and text as long as it doesn't exceed the character limit. To place an image, use the one with the IMG tag found in your photo host.
Posting your own picture
If you wish to post your own picture, first, input your image into the computer (by scanner, bluetooth, infrared or any USB device). When you have your image file, upload it in your image host and recover the URL with the IMG tag. Then, add the tag in your message.
Well, I guess that about covers it. If I missed something, I'll just update. Have a nice day.
