Attention Newbies

[Valjean]

Well thanks, Pah/Bob, I guess....

But what the heck is a coin and what is this store? What does it mean to personalize my heading? And why would this beneficial?

Please forgive my ignorance, I'm rather new at this and most web-stuff baffles me.

I only recently mastered my toaster....

Coins are earned by doing three things - reading a thread, posting a reply to a thread, or creating a thread. Coins may be spent on the "inventory" in the store which is reached by the navigator bar on the top of each page just below the title to the thread. For sale in the store is the abilitily to 1) make "Seyorni" appear in bold letters, 2) appear in italicized letters, 3) appear in a "glow" (presuming you use Internet Explorer, you see that hazy thing around "pah"?), and 4) change the title (just below your ID) to a personal title instead of "freshman member".

*reverts back to friendlier Bob and thinking - now isn't that a prettier heading?

Being the friendly guy I am, frubals are points that appreciative members give to a post that you make that they like. You can give frubals by clicking on "frubal" in the box near the top of the post that you like. and you can see who gave you frubals and to whom you gave them by clicking on the User CP (Control Panel) in the navigation bar and reading the boxes on the bottom right of the page that comes up.

I will donate $600.00 to eight of those members that have joined in the past two weeks (since November 11th) who have 10 posts to thier credit.

This will allow you to purchase, from the store, a bold or italized user ID or a change in your title to something you like.

Just post here so I can become aware of your quaifications.

I'm a newbie - just joined yesterday. I've read the thread. I'm posting. I have 9 posts, so this one will just make 10. Thanks for your generous offer.

But when I took a look in the store, nothing came up. Is it working? ("Resources" doesn't seem to work either. )

http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/ushop.php try this link. It should give you a page with the "improvments" you can now purchase. I took the link from the uShop Menu button after clicking the arrow next to "Store".

I'm glad to see you posting so quickly - that was the reason for this giveaway - to get the newcomers active.

Thanks for the generous welcome! I tend to dive right into things.

Can you explain the frubals a little more?

Does one have control over how many frubals one can give to someone else? Is there a limit?

Boxes on the bottom right of the page? I don't see any boxes there on my CP page, even tho I'm pretty sure that I have 10 "frubals" and would like to know who was nice enough to give them to me.

Sorry to pester you. Is there a FAQ for newbies? I may have 610 coins now, but still don't know what I'm doing.


thanks!

thanks!

The amount of frubals you "give" (it's not deducted) is determined by the program. It is normally 10% of the frubals you have. Everyone gets 10 frubals when they join. The boxes are on the right hand column at the bottom but perhaps will not be there until you "give" or get some. I'll give you some for your good questions that will help other newcomers who read this thread.

The FAQ is a menu option under Quick Links - second from the last on the list

Rex if I use the ipconfig /release option to change my IP, then create a new user account, can I rejoin and start again as a new member? And start anew?

Why do you want to start a new account? hmmm...coins huh?

 

[SoulTYPE]

Nope. I give my coins away. So I can start again and be a different person.

 

[croak]

I have an old account. Can't exactly delete it, though. Well, think I'll try it for old time's sake.

Rex, can I use multiple accounts? I don't think so, since I could give frubals and coins to my other account, etc.

 

[SoulTYPE]

Could just completely mask the IP on one of them,RA.

Come on guys - we already got you hooked on posting. You don't need the "reward" to become active. Let's get the real newcomers going.

You were right; the boxes are there now. Thanks for funding my custom title, the frubals, and answering my questions.
