    Welcome aboard to the Forums of Mario!Read the rules and have fun!You can find the rules here https://forumsofmario.board-directory.net/profile.forum?mode=register.

    Your User Profile
    [Ap.1]

    When you first log onto Forums of Mario, one of the first things you might like to consider doing (if you haven't done so in registration) is updating your profile and adding a signature.

    - To change something about your profile, click on the 'Profile' button.


    Let's break this feature down for everyone.

    - Edit Signature
    With this you can make every post you make distinctive by putting a image or text in your signature. If you're looking on how to put images in your signature check here.

    - Edit Email & Password
    Here you can change your email or password by entering your current password then simply inputting your new email and password. (Note; The change should be automatic.)

    - Edit Profile
    This is a little-bit more descriptive about yourself. You can display information consisting of your age, to your location, hobbies, details, occupation. This is all optional, but if you want to stand out you should include a few things about yourself.

    - Edit Options
    This consists of how you use the forums. Each option that will be next to a check-box will explain what the action does, or negates. This is to have a custom experience.

    - Edit Avatar
    Your avatar is like your face for the users of these forums. Once you click this you can upload a picture from your files as long as it's no more than 100x100 (Height x Width) in pixels. If you'd like assistance ask a local designer or moderator. They'll be willing to help.

    - Friends and Foes
    This is where you can view, add, or edit things on your friends and foes list.

    Posting on the Forums of Mario - New Topics
    [Ap.2]

    - Go into a forum area and in the near top Right-hand corner is this image


    Simply click on the button and you will be taken to a message box where you can begin to start your topic.

    -It also helps, before you start a new thread, to see if it has been discussed before, which is where we recommend you use our search engine.


    Advanced Search Menu

    - Start by clicking on the 'Advanced Search' link.


    To use the advanced search menu may take some time, so bear with yourself and practice for a while.


    * In the top left-hand corner you can search by keyword, either in a post or topic as indicated by the drop down menu.
    * In the Search Options you can specify a more precise return from the number of replies a topic has to what forum you think it's in. For example if you know it doesn't involve Mario you can click on the high-lighted General Forum option and the search will only return topics/posts from that area.



    - Moving on to the top right-hand corner we can see Search by User Name



    - This option allows you to find topics or posts started by a specific user, ideal for narrowing down search criteria.

    - The important thing to remember about a search engine is that you sometimes have to do different variables in order to get the right results. Take your time and don't stress. If you do make a duplicate thread it's not a problem especially if you know you put the effort in.

    Posting on the Forums of Mario - Replying to Posts
    [Ap.3]


    There are three ways to reply to a post, the long way, the short way and the shorter way.

    - To reply to a topic generally without directly quoting anyone, you simply click on the 'Reply' button either at the top or bottom left of the page. This takes you to the reply box and you can begin.



    - To reply by quoting a member directly, click on the 'Quote' button in the bottom right of the individual's post you want to quote. It will then take you to the message box with the quote in place.



    - If you wish to reply super quick, then you can always refer to our 'Quick Reply Box' by clicking on the little button in the right-hand corner of a person's post...



    - ...which will take you to a box which looks like this and you can reply super quick. If you click on the option 'Go Advanced' it will take you to a preview of your message in the standard reply box.

    Reporting a Post
    [Ap.4]

    As is natural with all large forums you will get people who will post disrespectful comments or general idiotic stuff that offers no debate. In most cases it is the members we rely on to inform us of these problems, which is why we have a nifty little feature that enables you to tell us straight away if there is a problem with something or someone.

    - If you see a bad post, topic, signature or member, you can use the 'Report a Post' option in the bottom left-hand side of the user



    The staff are then sent an email and an archive of what you report goes to a special area where the first mod there deals with the complaint. Without you guys reporting stuff to us, we wouldn't have the response time that we do.
