I think it's a great idea for beginners! When I joined O-R I had no idea what coins were for ( donated 4, now I'm coinless ) , having avatars, imageshack etc. were for.

your guide will sure be usefull for new members, a very very good explination of everything a new member would need.

great work Curunir!

Very usefull stuff for any newcomer... or even some of the more distracted regular one ringers.

Lots of efforts on this one I'm pretty sure of it, but it worths every bit.

Great article Mike! Cheers.

I am always pondering about that when help is needed a site is not explanable from itself which is not good ...
but on the other hand this site provides to many nice features that cannot be clear by just a menuitem, so some help/hints are very useful and create ah-I-havn't-known-this-until-few-seconds-ago-effects (even for 'older' users)

very well done, Curunír.
(now if this could be available and found easily
I think the Beginners forum should also contain the additional words:
(New to the game or the hobby) or this website?


(still, since I am a member I have been pondering about how to move the chatbox a bit more, as this is a nice feature used by many, even if only to just look who's on, and it requires scrolling a lot... (anyway I post that sketch on that other thread website news/feedback for discussion)

It is evident that a significant amount of time and thought went into this, and the result is a magnificent guide to this fantastic site.

Great job, Curunír!

i have to say "thank you" too.

it was very useful for me to get started on OR.
maybe it needs a little bit more improvement (please dont beat me for that), because my first posts have been off topic.

for a non english lingualist it is a bit hard to understand everything in your welcome article.
just make a very short overview of all the things that OR provides.

f.e.

articles: invented something new post it here
want to show a painting guide..

my gallery: show your work

my profile: your account settings

...........
explain the complexity of OR in short, but understandable words.
this extra information might be very useful for noobs, and also for semi-noobs like me!

Thank you everyone for the feedback and comments. I really enjoyed making this guide, but I really had no clue what I was doing when I started it and learned a lot in the process.

Thank you Beatrice for your comments; I agree the site has lots of great features that are too good to miss.


Believe me it was really tough to keep it simple, and now that I read back through the material (just over a month old) I see several things that I could change and make clearer. Maybe in Version 1.1

I have been toying with the idea of doing a "quick guide" as a thread, with the article being the "full version". We'll see.

Thank you again for the comments, and I'm always looking for feedback.

Hejdå
