Alright, well I updated the first post with some more links that should be helpful for new users.

I think it'd be best if y'all PM me with suggestions for other topics that should be up there.
Now if only the new members would read it once and a while...

Okay, I updated this with two more topics that I found to be important for new users to read.
PM me with suggestions on what other topics you think should be up on the first post.

Still need to find a way to get new users to read this (since I think they just ignore this topic like it's not there).

I wonder if global announcements are possible on this forum.
If that were the case then "Help and Information", as seen here, would have to be linked to the help and information forum:
If you ever have trouble with anything on Chao Island, you can create a topic here in "Help and Information", or you can PM the Chao Moderators. These people help out with the site and can help solve problems that you may have.
Since it is NOT set as a Global Announcement (assuming it is possible), nothing needs to be done.

For now, you can start with fixing a mispelling:
Signitures: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13426
This should be spelled "Signatures"... I see it all the time ;-)

Although some of these following links are stickies, it took me a while to find out which posts were stickies simply because they do not seem to contrast enough with regular posts. It is an eyestrain to distinguish them unless you know which is which beforehand, so without further ado:

Complete guide to the User Control Panel as of April 2010: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15753

That's a misspelling Torrod made when he made the topic. ChaoX was simply copy.pasting the topic name.

Hope you found the information in the links helpful~!
:wink:

Enzo03: Thanks for giving me some suggestions on topics. And yeah, like Drouge said, I was copying and pasting titles so I didn't really make the spelling error. I was just to lazy to type up each title when I could have just copy and pasted.

Anyways I'll add those topics you suggested to the first post as well as do some minor editing.

^ Well, I believe the coding we use here is BBcode, and that certainly is not it.
First off, you need a link to the image. Say we wanted to put... This stamp in my signature:
Image
First off, you'd have to get the direct URL to it, whether it be from right-clicking it, selecting 'Properties', or right-clicking and copying the image location.

Here, we have our link:

Code: Select all

http://bit.ly/a5ga6I
The next step is to wrap it in image tags:

Code: Select all

[img]http://bit.ly/a5ga6I[/img]
Which then becomes this:
Image

And if you want it to be linking to something, then you do this:

Code: Select all

[url=*insert link to place you wish to direct people here*][img]http://bit.ly/a5ga6I[/img][/url]
Now say I wanted to direct you to... Crazo's profile.

Code: Select all

[url=http://chao.hippotank.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4140][img]http://bit.ly/a5ga6I[/img][/url]
It would then become this:
Image

Does that help?

I noticed that I am an egg. I was wondering whether i advanced through time or if i advanced by helping chao island or if i advanced just by posting or something else.
EDIT: sorry, i found out wich forum to go to for that, so dont bother answering
DM me if you remember me from way back when, I'd love to get back in touch. It's easiest to reach me through discord (in my profile), but if you PM me here I should get an email letting me know to check :)
