SRL Archive - Forum Guides

Hello and welcome to the tutorial:





In this tutorial I will shortly explain how things on these forums work.


Chapters

• Search
• Buttons
• Members
• Post tips

Rules

Before you even may post here, you need to read the rules and the new rules!!

Make sure you don't break them or you will get banned!

Search

The second thing you need to learn is: The search button! :)
Every time before you post: Search away! If you are sure that your question hasn't been post before, you are safe to post!

The Search can be found at the left side of the Index.

- This is what you see in the right corner of a post. It's for the reputation of the writer. If you think his/her post is usefull, click it and give him/her some reputation :) *hint* :p.

Members

There are several kinds of members - you can reconize them by the color of the name:
Administrator - Moderators - SRL Developer - SRL Member - Registered Users

If you see this next to someones name, it means that the person isn't online.

This means someone is online.

You can also see the date beneath the name of the person. If the post is pretty old: don't bump it (unless it's very important).

If you want to know more about the Ranks and Cups (found beneath the name of the person - For example the cat (scripters cup) beneath my name) read this.

Post tips

1. Don't double post - Use the edit button!
2. Make helpfull posts with lots of information :D
3. Follow the rules
4. Search, search, search!!
5. Use Scar tags -
6. Read over your post. If you can't read it, no-one can!

This is a great tut to using SRL, one thing you could add to the post tips could be to read other peoples posts before you post, in case you post the same thing as someone else.
