Layout Revamp Tips

[Mama Oak]

Hey guys, I know this is another drastic change in the layout. Feel free to point out things you don't like and I'll see if I can change them (I already plan on re-doing the category names, but dafont.com is down right now, so I'll wait 'til that's back up). One things you'll quickly notice is we've pinched the alter system — instead, FourClans is now a "one character per account" site. For each of your characters, you'll need to create an account. If you're not familiar with this, it isn't too difficult. Might seem a heavy task at first, but once you get everything set up, it's rather easy. ^___^

SETTING UP YOUR ACCOUNTS
Do you see at the bottom right corner of your screen this neat little guy (click)? You'll use him for the character accounts. Click it, and you should see something like this screen here (click). Click on 'create a new account on this forum' to make a new account, which you'll need to do for each of your characters. You'll be able to choose the username and everything (except the color, because that will have to be their group color). After you create all your accounts, by clicking on that little icon in the bottom right corner, you'll go to that screen and can switch between them, simply by clicking on the character/account you want to log in as.

Another thing about the site is the increased avatar limit. Our profiles now sport 170x250 avatars, so enjoy that! c: However, let it be known, that if you want to use an avatar bigger than 150x150 (which is Probards default) then you cannont upload your avatar. You must link it (click). If you upload it, Proboards will automatically resize it down to fit their 150x150 maximum. And if you'd like someone to make an avatar for you, I'm sure there are people here who would be willing! I am one of them, so if you'd like an avatar made for your character or characters, then just drop a line in my inbox. c:

That's all I've got to tell you for now. Hate it or love it, post on this thread if you've got questions or complaints. I'll be posting an advertising contest soon, so keep an eye out for that as well! c;
