Getting used to the Forum
Spoiler: click to toggle Ok, you have now successfully logged in and are ready to begin posting! First, you need to know the layout of the forum, though. Here is everything from top to bottom about the forum: -The very top where it says: {Welcome GuestTest [Sign Out] Preferences Inbox} is the option bar for you. Clicking Preferences will bring up another bar that will be explained later! Inbox, are for PM's that shall also be explained later. -Beneath this bar is a banner, which is the main picture of the skin you are using.. Clicking this picture will always take you back to the homepage. -Next, is a bar with the words: {Search Members Calendar FAQ Main Menu Affiliates Shoutbox} The Search is for any threads you may be looking for, or members. The Members button lists all of the forum members, and everything. The Calendar is just a Calendar that can have things such as birthdays, holidays, etc... added on to it. The FAQ is the Frequently asked Questions area, click there if you have any questions, or ask a mod or admin. The Main Menu is just as it sounds like, the main menu, only, it looks different. The Affiliates are all the affiliates that have joined with KhDistrict. As for the Shoutbox, that is basically a giant message box where you can leave messages and chat with other members! -Next come the advertisements, and a bit above it, the chain in which you are going (Example:KhDistrict → Site Desk → Foyer → The Beginner's Guide to KhDistrict!) -Then, comes the forum, any of the links you click take you to a special area of the forum, described in the description below the name. -After the forum is another Advertisement. -Than, the board statistics are there, The First part says who else is online. -The second part gives information and statistics about the board -Below it are useful links, like Active Topics, Administration and Moderation List, etc... -Than, finally, the bottom bar is the theme chooser, which you can change themes to different types, affecting the look of the board, and marking all topics as read, and the time of the board.
That is all, now you know how the main page looks like!
The REAL Action:
Introducing Yourself
Spoiler: click to toggle Now you know almost everything in for Part 1! All you want to do is introduce yourself to the Forum and show you are ready to post! How do you do it though? First of all, if you have read all the Forum Sections, in The 'Site Desk', there is a section called, 'Foyer', and the sub section 'Introductions'! NOW we can introduce ourselves, right? Click the Link to it, and an odd page full of a list shows up. What is this list? Well, this list is a list of threads of other members who introduced themselves! So, how do you make one? First of all, on top of this list to the left, is a button that says 'New Topic'... So, let us click this, and make a thread, or topic, for ourselves! Now more boxes show, the Very First box says Topic Title, which, is going to be the Title of your thread. Topic Tags are tags that can be searched via the search button on the top of the page, and the description is just a description of your thread. All that is needed it a title, you can leave out description and tags. Now, comes another box, in this box, type up any message that you wish to be posted, such as 'Hey, I'm new!' then, when you finish, click 'Post Topic' and there you are! Your topic is posted! The same style can be used to make any topic forum-wide. No post count is gained from the introduction section, so, head over to another section to begin on your post count!
Congratulations, you just mastered making threads!
Making Normal Posts
Spoiler: click to toggle Now, we will begin teaching how to make normal posts. First off, in different sections, there are different styles. Like, in forum games, you must stay within the game boundries, while in Go Insane, you can go crazy, according to the topic you are in. Saying this, let us check out the Forum Game section! -Open another Page and go to the Homepage of KhDistrict -Scroll down to the bottom and above the Board Statistics, is the 'Activities and Games Forum' -Click the Link -Another list will show up, but, this time, instead of making a new topic, click on of the links in this list -A page should load, depending on the page you clicked, you have gone onto a certain game. -Read the latest posts, and then, when you get to the last one, a little box saying 'Fast Reply' should appear. You can click the box and begin to type your reply, then click 'Add Reply' and you just made a post -Or, there is a button that says 'Add Reply' above the fast reply box, click that button. -Another screen similar to that of the New Topic should show, all you have to do is click the box, type, and then click 'Add Reply' and that's it, you just made a post! If you are a new member with 0 post count, make 9 more to become a member and not a newb!
Finally, depending on the section you are in, posts may differ. I suggest taking your time checking how each section's style is like, and then, when you are ready, begin to post in that section!
Finally, topics may be closed, due for some reason, in closed topics, you can not reply, and it is symbolized with a lock next to the name on the topic list.
Congratulations!! You just mastered Posting, the most important thing on the board!!
Looking Good on the Board!:
Fixing up your profile!
Spoiler: click to toggle Ok, now, you know how to post, and you know how to make topics... But, why does everyone else have some extra stuff under their Avatar? (Picture under username) That is because they have edited their profile. To edit your profile, -go to the top of the page. And at the end of your menu bar, should be a drop down screen saying, "Preferences" -Click that button. -Three more links have shown up, they are Change Avatar, Change Signature, Update Profile. -Click Update Profile -A list of boxes and choices have appeared! Above them, are other profile options and controls, but, forget those for now. -Change around the settings in your boxes as you please.
Changing your avatar!
Spoiler: click to toggle Now, you have fixed everything, but, whenever you make a post, you don't get a pretty picture like everyone else under your username! So, how do we fix that, you really want a picture there too! Simple, just do the following: -Go to the top of the page -Click Preferences -Click 'Change Avatar' Now, a weird menu has shown up, and your avatar is standing there, looking like:  So, how do we change it? First of all, all avatars MUST be within 200x200, it is a forum rule. Now, there are three ways you can add an avatar: 1-There is a list of folders in front of you... What are they? Guess... Yep, you got it right, it's a list of pictures you can use as avatars provided by KhDistrict and Zetaboards. Click one of the folders Now, a bunch of images are loading, what do you do? If you see any you would like as your avatar, click it, and now, you have an avatar! 2-You can upload an avatar by clicking browse then use uploaded avatar, and now you have an avatar! 3-You can add a direct link then click use url avatar, and now you have an avatar! Now, you have a nice, beautiful image within your avatar, that can be changed as much as you want, and any time that you want!
Making a Signature
Spoiler: click to toggle You may have noticed, but, how come everyone has a picture after their post and you don't?! Well, the answer is simple. They have a signature... A signature can deprive of anything, and to make on, just do the following: -Go to the top of the page -Click Preferences -Click Change Signature Oh no! Another weird box, When will they end?! The answer is simple.... Never, but, let's continue  You may have noticed, but, there is no upload button! So, how do you get images into the signature for god's sake!?!?! The answer is simple, just right click the image, select 'View Image' (for FF users) or Properties>View Image (IE users) or you can simply put an image on an image hosting web site and copy and paste the link with the code '[*IMG]insert link here[/*IMG]. Remember to remove the * and you'll have a signature pic! Anyways, after you have added your image, and any other information and things you may want to add, Click 'Edit Signature' at the bottom, and you're done!
You now have a signature, avatar, and know how to post/make threads! Any other settings will be in the preference menu, and can be easily explored.
Making, Sending, and Recieving Personal Messages! (PM's)
Spoiler: click to toggle First, what is a Pm? A PM is a personal Message sent to another member of your choice so that only you and that member can see. Think of it like a private thread between the two of you. How do you make one now? Go up and drag you mouse (Or touchpad) over Inbox. A list should come out saying: Compose Message, Message Tracking. Click Compose message. Ah great. ANOTHER BOX! There seem to be a lot of those lying around. The box is basically like making a thread. In the Send to area, type the username of the member you wish to send a message to, then the message title, then in the box, the message. Then, click 'Send Message'. And your message has been sent!
When the person you sent a message to replies, a pop up should come and tell you, if not, you will notice at the top right, next to Inbox, a number saying how many unread messages you have. Click it and then it will take you to a list. Then, from that list, click the unread message, and reply to it normally like a thread!
The rest of the options are not needed, and you can take a look on them on your own.
Congratulations! Now you know all there is to know about KhDistrict, come on daily, and follow the rules!
Enjoy posting, and thank you for joining KhDistrict Forums!
