Guide Forums Guide- Basic

Hey! this is a guide all about the basics of the forums, like the ShoutBox, what section to post your threads in, the basics to making a thread, and much more! So let's start this guide with something easy to use, and not all that well known, the ShoutBox!

THE SHOUTBOX:
The ShoutBox should look something like this:

It is a chat where anyone with a forums account can chat in, it also notifies you whenever a new thread has been made (shown at the bottom of the ShoutBox)

WHAT SECTION TO POST YOUR THREADS IN:
this part is about what section to post your threads in, so I will be telling you about what all the different sections are, and if you thread fall underneath any of those categories, that is the section to post in.
The Realm Of WynnCraft:

THE WYNNCRAFT SECTION:
In this section you can post anything that doesn't fall under any of the other categories of the other sections, you can post Guides, party requests, media content, and theories!

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS: If you have a suggestion to improve wynncraft, put it in this section!

TRADE MARKET: If you are selling or buying items, this is where to advertise that!

GUILDS: Looking to advertise your guild, or looking to join a guild? this is the section for that!

BUG REPORTS: This is a section to report any bugs, glitches, but NOT hackers! there is a different section for that!
Community Tavern:

YOUR WORK: If you have made a nice build, or made a drawing, or even produced a video, advertise it here, just remember use the right prefix, (covered in a section below)

YOUR SERVICES: Do you have any services to offer? (Making signatures/profile pictures/ other things for people) then post it here!

THE PLANNING PARLOR: Are you planning something? Maybe a birthday party in game, or even a wedding (yes, it has happened), well than plan everything out here with other forums members!

NEMRACT'S BAR: This section is all about of topic chat, funny memes and videos ETC.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF: Are you new to the forums? well introduce your self in this section!

MINECRAFT: Anything about minecraft, (any server other than Wynncraft) goes here, there is also a very interesting section in this section, called minecraft news, you cannot post in this sections, but someone else does, updating you about all the new features of minecraft, (mini/large updates).

OTHER GAMES: This section is where you post all about other games, not minecraft related.
The Dungeons:

PLAYER REPORTS: this section is for player reports (if you see someone hacking/abusing glitches, report them here) You cannot see other peoples posts in this section, it is 'private'

BAN APPEALS: If you have been banned in Wynncraft, send in a ban appeal here, a nice explanation is nice. just DON'T bug moderators asking to be un-banned on there profile, post in the ban appeals section. again this is a private section.

THE BASICS TO MAKING A THREAD:
Every new forums member always has difficulties, and often one of those difficulties are the basics of making a thread, so here we go!:

TITLES: make sure that your title is a accurate description of what your thread has to hold, in as little words as possible.

PREFIXES: A prefix is a small hint of what is to come, this is what a prefix's looks like:
there should be a button to the left of where you put in your title, click on that and it will give you different prefix's to select. the prefix options changed according to what section you are posting in (the one above is from general suggestions)

CONTENT: Make sure that you content is full of detail, and does not just say, its gonna be cool *end*.

THE SEARCH BAR:
The search bar is where you search for threads/posts/profiles. it should look like this:

You cannot search extremely common words like 'the' because every single post in all of Wynncraft's forums will show up, so when you search things it has to be specified!
you can search someone's name, let's say Salted, and to the right of your screen it will show everyone's names with 'Salted' in it. more towards the left there is all of the posts and threads which mention 'Salted'.
The search bar is located in the exact middle, towards the right (when you have scrolled all the way up).

THE THEMES:
There are two themes for the forums, one looks like this:

The other looks like this:

You can toggle in-between the two themes here:
(located at the very bottom, left.) click on the words 'The realm of Wynncraft' and you will be given a option to switch the themes! EDIT: I have recently learned from @RIP|captainganon and @PhilXL that there is indeed a third theme, which is only open to VIP/VIP+'s!

Well that's that! let's take a look at what we covered: the shoutbox, what section to post your threads in, the basics to making a thread, the search bar, and finally the themes.

 

Nice guide...?

 

this isn't for forums people like you (experienced) the next one will be, you will like that one.

 

Seems like this would be helpful to newer players, but add in something under general suggestions saying to look around it to make sure the idea hasn't already been suggested.

 

I spent three hours on this

 

Isn't there 3?

 

no

 

Yes

 

oh, well the option doesn't even come up for me, I don't have VIP

Thanks for all the support people :(

 

i was about to post that ;w;

 

Better than your how to avoid hate, but it's essentially the same things you said in it (with some of the added things). Good work anyways! Also, most of the newer players stick around in the trade market, just some advice.

 

Nice job! I think this should be stickyed (sticked? Stiked?) for the new players.

 

people seem to forget that you can toggle the theme when you hover over your name at the top (I only discovered the other way recently)

 

interesting, I will include that in the facts section in number two, because it isn't very well known, want me to credit you?

 

Stickied, thanks

 

I don't want this to sound confrontational or rude, but you obviously have a problem with my how to avoid hate thread, can you start a conversation with me telling me what you don't like about my how to avoid hate guide?

 

funny, this is like the best and the least appreciated thread I have ever made at the same time.....

 

Edited! thanks rip capigonan and phil

 

Looking forward to that

 

Nice guide!

Can't help but noticing how @Meroboter is in the pic of the Shoutbox. He is ALWAYS in there O-O
