Tips?

**Moo** · 28-01-2008

I'm considering installing this mod, which displays a random tip on each page by default.

Thing is, I need a bunch of short tips to put into its database.

These tips should be no more than a few lines, and help newbies who aren't familiar with the forum.

Feel free to suggest tips on both social matters (e.g. "Try using the search tool, to find interesting information on a topic"), technical matters (e.g. "Use "Subscribe to Thread" in the "Thread Tools" drop-down menu if you want to know when someone replies to a thread"), or anything else that you think forum-goers should know.

I could probably make some of those kinds of tips but that'll have to wait until next week.

I wouldn't mind joining ya! I am sure we could all make a few tips. Just pick out the best ones and corretc the spelling/grammar if need be and walla! A massive list in no-time! Just point me in the right direction where I can post them!

You can post them in this thread. Knock yourself out

I'm Guessing We're able to create links? As it would be easy to say. "Don't forget to check the news for important notifications. Click here to goto the News forum!"

Where the 'click here' is hyperlinked apropiatley(sp?).

EDIT: since the Wiki is up, why not create a page of the list of them? Then all members can easilly add onto it. Then, once the list is long enough you can add the mod!

Yes, you can use HTML in the tips.

As for a wiki page on them... I considered that, but for various reasons (most of them technical) I decided a forum thread would be better for organizing this.

Good tip!
Amusing tips like that are most welcome

It's more then likely a bad Idea to sign a negative rep.
