Hello MCGamer tributes and new forum members,

You may be reading this thread for the purpose just to take a look, or you may be here to gain more knowledge about the subject of our forums. Either way I would like to welcome you to our forums and hope you enjoy your stay!

Please keep in mind that even though you have signed up here on our forums does not mean you get to mess around. This is not the time or place to mess around on our forums, we wont a polite and respectful atmosphere. Failure to follow our rules will get you removed from our forums.

What are our rules?
If you would like to check out our forum rules feel free to click here.


Now that you are informed about our rules we will head into describing our forum features. We will go one by one explain how each one works.

Personal Bar



The personal bar features mean multiple things. Each icon represents something on our forums that you can stylize to your liking. We are going to explain each one and how it works.

Profile Button



This button is used to edit your profile, give more information about yourself, and to make somethings on our forums to your liking. When you click on this button it will look a little something like this:



From there you can click on each individual tab and edit the settings to your liking. Have fun and play around! There is much to explore. One tab we are going to focus within our details tab is the personal details tab. When you click on it, it will look a little like this:



Here you can edit many things. You can edit your profile picture, details about yourself, and more! One thing you cannot edit is your age. If you find that your age is correct please contact the following people:

[COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 0)][B]Nephilim[/B][/COLOR]
[B][COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 0)]Vanicle | Vanessa[/COLOR][/B]
[B][COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 0)]Razzledgirl[/COLOR][/B]
[B][COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 0)]nrob19[/COLOR][/B]


Contact any of these people and they can set your age to your liking. Another cool feature you can set is your profile picture. At this time the uploading a file method is broken so you will need to try Gravatar. You create a Gravatar account all you need to do is go to there website by clicking here. From there you would click "Add new image" and you could upload your profile picture! It may take 5 - 10 minutes for you photo to sync with our forums database.

Inbox Button



The inbox button can really come in handy when you want to message someone and have nobody else see it. To make a conversation with someone it is very simple. All you will need to do is:

Inbox < Create Conversation

From there you would invite certain users on the forums and inbox away! Sometimes you will see staff members put "PM". This means personal message or in-boxing them on the forums.

Alerts Button



The alerts tab is to notify you about somethings that have been oriented towards you on the forums. A couple things you can get alerts for are:

  • Someone has followed you
  • Someone replied to a thread
  • Someone quoted your post
There is not much more to it. Just remember these simple things about the action bar and you will be good to go.

You weren't joking when you said it was for newbies... I can't remember being this uninformed, but I'm sure I was. It probably would have been useful if I had it back then.
