[Working draft]Introduction / Tutorial Island for New Users

Yeah, I was thinking of maybe putting them in a different colour? A list could still work, I'll post a few copies in this thread later of the current with the different colour scheme and also with the list at the bottom, I'll see how it works out.


How's the content though? I couldn't find the market guide link or the newcomer thread one though :/

 

Added: Built-in Skype adding feature and reporting posts for a title change & also vaders.

Having a look at your PM now Jack.

@SuF, update quote plox.



Edit:

 

Good job roary, made it nicer to look at and a better read, is it currently implemented?

 

I'm not sure if that's what SuF had in mind. Nothing's going forward as of yet until we've run out of input ^_^

The thread is coming together nicely though. And in response to your earlier questions, the thread being drafted in this thread is the newcomer guide (haven't got a location for it yet) and the market guide I believe is this: http://www.sythe.org/market-discussion/1339121-beginners-guide-sythe-market.html



Thread quote needs updated and list of things to do can be emptied too ^_^

 

I actually really like that.

 

I think the wording might need re-doing though. P.s. update the "current thread"

Bump for ideas.

Second line, This private message contains everUthing you will need. Change u with y.

 

Thanks. Just typed it out again on a touch screen so please proof read

 

Looking for additions / critiques of what we have so far.

 

You can always expand the signature edition section telling people how to add multiple pictures with links a sig and making it look as 1 whole image.

Add info on how people can donate (ex. can't donate via paypal until you meet the requirements).

Tell people where they can see their current infractions and info about them.

Sorry if anything is repeated but I'm really tired right now, about to go to bed.

 

We could go in to more and more depth about everything. How much do we think is necessary?

I might ask Moonglare to make a graphics newcomer guide to link.

 

Bump for ideas. Any input is welcomed.

 

I've updated the PM some. I think it works better this way with the links very apparent. Please critique the wording and stuff.
