The Newbie's Guide!

Hey there! Are you new to proboards, and forums in general and have NO CLUE what's going on? NO PROBLEM! That's why I'm your admin! Because I love you. :3

And I will show you the way to be a brillant stallion or a beautiful, baby-makin' mare!

However, I do ask that you read everything in the Announcements board and the Overview of the City board.

Announcement Hall

http://deadvivienne.proboards79.com/index.cgi?board=overviewofcity
Overview of the City

Everything in both of those places is important and will probably aid in your understanding of how things work. If it seems like a lot of reading, trust me, it's not.

You should see the length of some of my other stuff. Hehe

But after you've read that, I have a guide for you!

First thing is first!

Register.

Second thing comes next!

After you get your activation code and activate your account, find the "profile" button up at the top of the page and click it!

Third thing...

You'll be taken to this page:

Click on "Modify Profile".

Fourth thing!

You'll see a big page of stuff that needs to be filled in. You don't really have to fill it ALL in. Just pay attention to the parts I underlined in red, oks? You don't really need to mess with the rest unless you know what you're doing.

If your username is something like supersurferchik177, please use the change display name area to turn it into the name of your character, and in this case, supersurferchik177's name would be Jane Doe. Use capitals appropriately and whatnot please and thankyou! ^^

Then choose your gender, which shouldn't be hard. Fill something witty in the location area if you want, and then select an avatar! PLEASE! Unless you have one you want to use, in which case go for it. If you don't have an idea for your character, looking at the avatar gallery might give you ideas. And I always feel better when my hard work hunting for those pics goes to good use!

Fifth part is up next!

Okays so after you have that stuff done, read the Passports and IDs thread!

http://deadvivienne.proboards79.com/inde....read=1180540450

Copy the passport information, and then go to the "New Arrivals" board!

http://deadvivienne.proboards79.com/index.cgi?board=newarrivals

Sixth part...

You'll see something like this, so click on "New Thread".

Then, after you put in your subject (which should be "Arrival *insert your character's name*"), paste the passport information into the text area, and start filling it out with your character's information. Then post, and you should have something a bit like this:

Seven

If you don't know how to work MSpaint or a graphics program, don't sweat it. I'll make your ID, so just lemme know, okay?

So anyway, after you have your character stuff down... just watch an RP thread and jump in somewhere, or start your own!

I hope that helps, and if you have any other questions, please let me know so I or anyone else can answer them! ^^
