We know that several of you may have never ventured into the world of forums before today and that is fine. We Admin are here to make certain that your transition goes as smoothly as possible. If you are tired of vengeful people causing your precious work to be deleted then you are in the right place. This forum was built with every type of player in mind in hopes it would become a safe haven for all your tales. Please if you are on the fence at least give it a try, you never know what you will enjoy unless you jump right in.
The very first thing you should do before deciding to join is to read everything in the Necessities section. Also immediately after creating your user go to your profile, then the preferences and make sure the options to allow HTML and BBCODE are set to yes. There are the second to last options from the bottom of the tab but if you do not do this not everything will be visible to you!!!!
HTML and BBCODE are what the site use to generate graphics and colors, in other words you have the ability to customize anything you post here and do so fairly easily. (with the exceptions of admin posted templates). BBCODE is meant for more advanced users, but once you get the hang of how coding works it should all be a breeze. For example, if I wanted to change my text to green I would input this. [color:24f2=green*] Pretty Prose Here [/color*], just remove the * in each bracket. Mainly though each post box will have tabs for everything you wish to do. If you have any questions do not be afraid to ask, we are all here to help one another find sanctuary.
REGISTER ACCOUNT
Number 1 - Make sure you register with your muses name. First and last. Ex: Mirza Versailles. DO NOT use a period or other forms of punctuation between the middle and last name. THEN, you will wait till your account is approved by one of our admins. NOTE (For the sake of thousands of lost passwords it is required that an authentic email be required so we can all recover accounts if need be. Just go to yahoo and create a quickie. Also, for each muse that you desire to create, you must make a new account, unless you are going to NPC them attached to one of your prior muses.
