Title: Forum guide for newbies
Post by: I-EKILER on April 02, 2013, 01:34:07 pm
As the title says, hopefully u lot can make a guide on how to use the forum. ive taught like 3 ppl now and it took me a long ass time (2h) teaching the last guy. hopefully u fm's can make a guide when someone signs up they get like pm to the thread and they can read it and learn how to post and stuff.

Maybe an automatic mail system. Once a person signs up, they will receive a PM with a summary about what each board for, how to edit ur profile and what to do if u need help/banned/admin apply, etc.

Or a simple start up tutorial. Whenever you click on a board, a pop up message appears with some information about it. Once they know what to do, they can simply skip tutorial by clicking on disable or sommit.
