I'm thinking of some others that I can do.

What are the things that ur good at doing (other than graphics)

Lol, I'm no good at graphics, but I can do some Modules Tips.
I have also updated the How To Take A Screen Shot? Tip, and sent it to Caihlem.

Like I said, I'm just going to be working on Modules Tips.
Caihlem, can you give me your opinions on how my tips are ? I made them precise and understandable.

Caihlem wrote:Hi,

As said to in the staff room; My exams finish Saturday, so I'll have all week end to do the proper reading and I'll take care of all that has been sent up to now

Is it me or is that whistling sound, the sound of caihlem liking what everyone send to him?
Thats really awesome to hear man, I hope you do well.
(I should say average because 9/10 times people come out doing better then expected, but I want you to do Very well!)

I can already say though that your last tutorial, the NavBar, is most probably going to be refused. The reasons are;
> Too obvious (this button does this...)
> Not the standard bar you gave, so if members don't understand the links, they won't understand the different buttons

Yea, It was a quick job, I just did it because it was unlinked.
I couldn't use the same buttons because they were not included in the set I has permission to use

But, as for if it will be accepted, I'm cool if it doesn't get accepted

Caihlem wrote:On the other hand, I can almost guarantee the block buster you wrote on the run through will be accepted

That is AWESOME to hear

I hope you and your fellow co-workers enjoy reading it.
And if there's anywhere that could use improvement please inform me, and ill get it done in a jiffy!

Remember to make your tutorials very detailed and understandable because I want to see you guys' tutorials up there too . MrMario, I like the one you sent me via PM

Ipoppy, just reported you for spam posts

oh really, that's awesume

ipoppy wrote:oh really, that's awesume

You're welcome?

Please dont spam this topic as it is for people that are trying to help others. We would not do the same to you.

Thanks rokstrsk83dude. I hope it does get accepted.

**Off to make more Tut's **

Your welcome .

I guess you could wait 'till the tutorials are accepted to see mine because I don't want to preview them out, sorry.

I just submitted how to make a HTML homepage not using Portal

ipoppy, as stated please do not spam the thread like this.

rokstrsk83rdude wrote:Ipoppy, just reported you for spam posts

rokstrsk83rdude, while I appreciate you reporting, there is not need to tell on yourself, that you reported it, as this just leads to more spam by the member you reported and yourself, which is exactly what has occurred here.

MrMario wrote:Please dont spam this topic as it is for people that are trying to help others. We would not do the same to you.

MrMario, please do not moderate other members. Especially senseless after it was stated that it was already reported.

Damn, there goes bugging u by PM to get a sneak peak on how to make pics transparent

rokstrsk83rdude wrote:Remember to make your tutorials very detailed and understandable because I want to see you guys' tutorials up there too

very sure of yourself ain't you lol.


I have been going through the tips and tricks i dont know if its because I know the way certain people type or that I know a bit more about what I'm doing or if you have removed some but I seem to be able to understand them all now but I'll keep looking.

Is there any chance of a tutorial on css editing, for instance a crib sheet with screen shots as to which part of the css is to do with which part of the forum.
Especially the colors of the fonts and placement.

Someone posted a tutorial in the forums (forgot which) Ask Nessa she locked it.

I second that.

That would be an awesome post.

OK OK take it easy you two and stop getting pushy, remember I am an old man.

But of course they will be posted on Forumotion How To first

Kilsek, what kind of tutorials are you working on or have finished?

I believe I sent in 4 of the most asked ones. I am working on and off again with the Roleplaying one. this one is hard as there is a lot to it.

Hello, I'd like to help out. Can you tell me which ones would need updating? Thanks.

Base what im doing is looking for questions that are asked most and that are not on the FAQ.

MrMario wrote:Base what im doing is looking for questions that are asked most and that are not on the FAQ.

I see, maybe I should do that.

OMG, Kilsek! Are you really taking on the RPG tutorial??? God Bless you.. LOL That is a tall task. Although, I'm pretty sure there is no one here who could possibly do it as good as you.

Also, I just wanted to say.. Great job on the tutorials submitted already here guys, really. I'm very impressed at all the hard work you guys are putting into this, and very excited to see these updated tutorials posted.

Thanks Nassa, What can we say we have to pay back the support forum.

hey, I wouldnt suggest submitting that until the update. With the hints of a collection/bank mod there might be more that you need to add...

Drag~

Good point Drag, I would wait a least 3 days after the update came out to submitt it.
