Basic Website Guide (PC) -WORK IN PROGRESS-

Smileyyy · April 1, 2018

This is a work in progress since forums are still gettings updated 24/7. I will try update it everyday when new changes are made.

I'll try my best giving a very basic tour around our lovely new forums! Bare in mind, basics only.

1. Forums

You can go to the forums by clicking "Forums" in the bar on the top of the website. . This is where you will spend the most of your time. And probably already have by reading this basic guide! In the forum you can find a variety of sections about: food, music, movies, hobbies, sports, etc!

- One of the new features added are the new view options for the forum. I'll break all 3 down for you.

Table -> This is the default view option, and probably also the one that everyone is the most familiar to. Click here to choose this view option: This is how it looks:

Grid -> This is one of the new view options. This shows the forums in a grid view. Click here to choose this view option:  This is how it looks:
Fluid -> This option shows the forums in a very compact way. Click here to choose this view option:  This is how it looks:

- Another new feature is reacting to posts! I think most of us will remember the "Like This" button. Reacting is a whole new improved version of it.

You can now choose between: ="Thanks" ="Haha" ="Confused" ="Sad" ="Love" ="Surprise" ="100" And ofcourse our generic "Like"

- If u think that your forums look a bit too "messy" then you can toggle categories!
   It's very simple just click on the "-" of the category that u want to hide!

- Let's look into replying! Ofcourse you need to reply on something, so find something that looks interesting to you.
To reply to a topic scroll down untill you find this  Click on it and it will expand. Let me try and explain the most important things.

Attaching files, very simple. It says what to do itself, drag files to it or click on "choose files"

  How am I doing this? Very simple click on the B or use the shortcut "Ctrl+B"

  How am I doing this? Again very simple click the I  or use the shortcut "Ctrl+I"

  How am I doing this? And yes again, very simple. Click the U  or use the shortcut "Ctrl+U"

  ~~How am I doing this?~~ Very simple once again, click the S

The next in the line is "Link" with this you can give words links. So you can be all fancy and say read this.

It's very simple. Just select a word  then click on the "Link" symbol  then just paste you link into the box and click "Insert into post"

Those are the main ones you need, just a reminder this is pretty basic.

Making a topic is somewhat the same, and it isn't all that different from other websites

- Searching, the most underrated feature on every website.
You can locate it here . If you want to be more specific with your search results u can choose what u are looking for here

2. Blogs

Check out blogs for some real cool stories from forum members! Or you can even make your own story. Go to blogs by clicking here

3. Calender

The calender is, again a very basic feature. But I love it. It shows all the birthdays of our forum members and shows when events will take place!

Go to the calender by holding your mouse over forums and then clicking "Calender" . Check it around a bit and you'll get used to it in 2 minutes!

4. Downloads

A very good section to share: maps, configs, programs, etc.
You probably already know where to find it. I'll just show you with a screenshot . Look around! You know how to search files so feel free to search about anything.

5. Gallery

This is were lovely (<-Most of the time) pictures are shared between us!

Again easy to find . Just look around a bit and maybe even leave a reply on some of the pictures!

6. Activity

This is where the latest activity gets shown. Just click here to the right of "Forums"
You can see even more things when you hold your mouse over "Activity" I suggest just looking around it for a bit I personally don't use it that much. Shouldn't take more than 5mins to get used to!

7. Donations

This shows the F|A donation goal, stats, top donors, latest donators and even more information about donations on 1 single page!
If u feel like supporting our community you can always do that by donating a little left over here

8. Clubs

No clue yet! (Will update)

9. Store

Next up in the line is the "Store"! This is where you can buy VIP memberships, Private Slots, etc.

10. Wiki

The good old wiki! Our book of wisdom. You can open it by clicking here . This will open up a new window containing the wiki.

Here you can choose for what games you want to see our server rules, admin guide, admin basics, etc.

11. Staff

This section shows all our hardworking staff. From Founders to our Recruiting Team. Go the the staff section by clicking here

12. More

Spoiler

Here you can find some extra interesting things for example the "Member Map", "Online Users"

- Member Map shows you a rough location of people in this community, can be very surprising how many people live near you!
- Next up is online users, this simply shows who is online at the moment.

- Again a new feature added to our forums! Leaderboard shows you the people with the most liked content, all time, weekly, monthly, yearly,etc! You can even check out the top 3 of everyday by clicking "Past Leaders". I suggest having a look into it, it's a very interesting section! You can go to the "Leaderboard" section by clicking here

13. Profile

Now one of the most important features is your profile! A lot has been changed how profile looks and works. I'll give you the basics of what you need to know.
Click here to go to your profile . Now all of a sudden a lot of things are happening at once! I'll try explain in one go. Check this screenshot where I explain every bit

15. Create

Very simple. Here you can make status updates, topics, files, etc.

16. Notifications

Also a new feature is our beloved "Budup!" sound when you receive a notification. When you do receive a notification it will appear on the top right next to create where you see the globe. That's the notification button.
