VMK Forums Guide

[WORKING ON A REVAMP. MEANWHILE, CHECK THE WIKI GUIDE HERE. THANKS! -BECKY (12.14.07)]

A guide to VMK Forums for the new members. If there's something in here that I didn't include that you would like information on, or I have given incorrect information, please private message me or post here. Thank you and enjoy!


This what what the toolbar in the upper part of this screen and every screen on the Forums says.


To register, click the button that I have highlighted in red.

Let me explain the toolbar options to you:


Whenever you want to go into "forum view", just click the "Forums" button that I highlighted in red. Note: Although it isn't highlighted, if you would like to go to main page view (vmkforums.com), then you can click the "Home" button, located to the left of the Forums button.


This is the "VMKForums Gallery". I will explain later on what exactly the gallery is.


This is the "VMKForums Arcade". I will explain later on what it is.


This is the "User CP" button. I will explain later on what you can do there, and how everything there works.


This is the "Members" button. I will explain later what exactly you can do where the button leads to.


This is the "FAQ" Button. Here you can view various FAQ'S (Frequently Asked Questions) and their answers. It will be useful if there's something about the forum there that I didn't include in this thread.


The last button is the "Search" button. There you can search the forums for a certain keyword, posts/threads of a certain person, etc. If you ever are looking for something that you can't find, the Search button is your friend =).

Stats View:


Well, a brand new section I'm about to tell you about. These are the "stats" below the forum view on the Forum Main Page.

What's Going On?
This section's sections tell you about different statistics.

Currently Active Users:
The currently active users tells you everyone who is online at that moment. Regular members are in black text, hall of fame users are in light blue, mini-moderators are in pink, normal moderators are in pink italics, super moderators are in pink, admins are in bold pink, and trivia winners are usually in a purple or green color. Note: See Forum Leaders for more information on each moderator's username color.


Fansite Statistics:
This tells you the current number of threads, posts, and members on VMKForums as well as the newest member to register.

Today's Birthdays:
The today's birthdays section tells you everyone that is having a birthday that day (as long as they have opted to display their birthday on their profile). It will display the age someone is turning if that person has also enabled their birth year to be shown in their profile.

Today's Events:
This section tells you all the events written on the calendar for that day.

Having a Signature:

[IMG]http://img.****************/albums/v220/Firstpcs/tutorial4.gif[/IMG]
If you didn't joined VMK Forums before June 28, 2005 at 8:22 AM Central Daylight Time, or did not have a signature before then, you will have to purchase the signature subscription. To learn how to edit your signature go here and to learn how to edit your avatar go here

[IMG]http://img.****************/albums/v220/Firstpcs/tutorial5.gif[/IMG]
To join any of the forums you can't see that I have shown you on the forum view, go to your group memberships in your control panel and click "'join group" beside the information for the Ranters group, then you'll be able to post at that forum unless it is a group that you must be approved by a moderator to be accepted.

[IMG]http://img.****************/albums/v220/Firstpcs/tutorial6.gif[/IMG]
After joining any of the forums you can't see that I have shown you on the forum view, go to your group memberships section. It will look like this.


As a reminder, instead of posting to correct yourself, and instead of replying to yourself, you can use the 'edit' button found on the bottom of your post.


You can reply to someone and quote what they said by clicking the 'quote' button near the bottom of their post after their signature.


You can click this button on a post near the bottom, at the end, to go down to the bottom of the page you're on and reply without going to a whole new page to reply to someone.


Finally, you can make a thread by clicking that button at the top left corner of the forums' page.

How to make a poll:

[IMG]http://img.****************/albums/v220/Firstpcs/poll1.gif[/IMG]
.. After you do all that, click:
[IMG]http://img.****************/albums/v220/Firstpcs/poll2.gif[/IMG]
.. Next it will take you to this step:
[IMG]http://img.****************/albums/v220/Firstpcs/poll4.gif[/IMG]
.. And after you do that step, press this:
[IMG]http://img.****************/albums/v220/Firstpcs/poll3.gif[/IMG]

I hope you have found my guide helpful! I will edit and/or add more to it if you so specify.

Thanks,
Becky


EDIT: Sorry if 2 of the images are a 'little' too big xD
EDIT 2: I corrected some typos and stuffies, I don't know about my grammatical mistakes though xD
EDIT 3: Added how to make a poll.
EDIT 4: Before the edit is put in, I'd like to say I'll be updating this guide due to the forum update.
EDIT 5: I corrected my horrible grammar.
EDIT 6, 9/05/06: Total revamp in progress. Next update will announce completion, and if another update after that, it's grammatical errors, editing, etc. stuff.
EDIT 7, 9/05/06: THAT'S IT! GO BECKY! 3 HOURS AND SHE TOTALLY REVAMPED IT! Woot WOOT!! Go Becky =D. Well anyway, it's completely revamped. If you still have a question that I have not answered, please, PLEASE, post it =).

This is amazing. I would have never had the patience to do all that. I would have given up at "Now find the 'forums' button and click it".

Sure Caterpillar_AEIOU, I'd be glad to. But let me try here. When in a forum on vmk forums, in the upper left above the threads and stickied threads, there's a button(blueish) that says "Post New Thread".

Actually, DarthTimmy, it took an hour or two, and was also multi-tasking.
