Here's a brief tutorial of how to do some of the every day things that you may use/enjoy on Cloutsnchara. Just to help make things a little easier.
How to leave feedback:
(our good friend Soupy was kind enough to give us some screen shots to make it easier)
First step: Once both parties have received their ends of the deal, on the transaction thread, post something along the lines of "got my end" "deal done."
Second step: On the left hand bar where the fellow traders username is: you will see a feedback percentage: Like so:
Click the feedback sign:
Third Step: Click Add feedback
Fourth Step: Leave APPROPRIATE feedback! If it was a smooth deal, positive, if it went horribly and you didn't get your cards, negative.
Leave a short comment on how it went so other members can see how the deal went. (Please note: you will have to change the "neutral to postive if you think it was smooth"
Fifth step: Congratulations, you have just left feedback and now you know how
Hopefully this helps some of you guys out.How to post images:
(There are two ways to do this, I will post both).
Option Number 1 (best option). Photobucket.
Step 1: Create an account on http://photobucket.com/
Step 2: Upload your images directly from your computer to photobucket (not going to get into detail on how to do this, its amazingly simple).
Step 3: Copy the 'IMG Code' Found below the image once uploaded. It is the 4th link down.
Step 4: Paste the IMG code in the desired area in your post. Then once you submit the post, the image will appear.
Option Number 2, attachment.
Step 1: Below the text box in the post you are creating there will be three tabs, click 'upload attachment'.
Step 2: Click browse and select the desired image.
Step 3: Click the box that says 'add the file'.
Step 4: Submit your post.
However, there is a down side to this option. Due to memory restraints, we only allow three attachments per post. However, with the photobucket option, you can post as many as you'd like.
How to edit your signature:
Step 1: In the top left of your screen it will say 'user control panel' (found below Board index). Click it.
Step 2: Click the Profile Tab
Step 3: Click Edit Signature
Step 4: Add whatever you want in the text box. If you would like an image, read above. Use the photobucket process. Also, if you would like a custom banner, consult this thread: banner requests
Adding an Avatar is the same basic process.
How to hot link:
(This is if you would like a word to appear as a link rather then the word itself)
Step 1: Copy the desired link.
Step 2: Click the 'URL' tab above the text box when posting.
Step 3: Type in the = sign and paste the link in between the 'L' in URL and the first bracket.
Example [url =LINK GOES HERE ] [/url]
Step 4: Type the desired word that you would like to appear in between the two middle brackets. [url]Word Goes Here[/url]
So if I were to use cloutsnchara.com as an example but I wanted it to say Awesome. This is how its done.
[url =http://cloutsnchara.com/ ] Awesome [/url]
now when I remove the spaces...
Awesome
