Hi! I'm just curious if its at all feasible for the moderator/s of these quite outstanding message boards to provide downloadable, printer-friendly, and comprehensive New Starter/Refresher orientation kit (not really a kit, something downloadable and printable) for newbies as well as not so newbies like me. Frankly I'm getting sick of not being really able to use many of the UBB codes (like nice smileys and other perks). After 20 or so postings, I'm still limited to the simple smiley... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
The kit might include the terms of conduct (quite necessary I think), UBB code refresher/orientation, summed up history of the boards, other small facts and interesting features, etc. It could be in .pdf, .doc, or whatever format so long as it's printer friendly.

I don't know, that may help. In fact, if any moderator could send me such info through my mail, I'd be more than happy to compile it for these boards.

Comments please, this is just a suggestion that's all.... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif There I go again.

Note: This post is originally from the SoA board, until someone so kindly informed me that the GenCon would be a better place to post this. Thanks 250! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

The link to the Smilies' index can be found to the right of the reply post window, and can be accessed here: http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/NonCGI/smilies.html

The link to UBB code can also be found to the right of the reply post window, and can be accessed here: http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/NonCGI/ubbcode.html

As far as the history of the board, et al, that's up to Ziroc and some of our older members. Ask Larry or Rikard to fill you in on that.

It may be helpful to have some of this info in downloadable form...however, that call will be up to Ziroc.

Cheers,

Thanks Saz! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/hippy.gif Am still looking forward to posting my request for a nice 'ole sig for moi... for the time being, I can't get myself to asking.. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif

Anyways, hope Ziroc still gets to consider this suggestion. It's actually more about summing up these things and getting away with having to be online to look things up (especially the smilies and the UBB codes). Gets dizzying sometimes http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/Eyecrazy.gif

I can't use the graphics library - it completely ****s up my browser.
A version for dl would be useful.

did you ask at Saz's Sig Shoppe? he did some great ones or email him with your request


ok I was kinda hoped when I updated my sig section that the rest would update too... is Ziroc working on that or it's a PITA to do?
