How To Register

1. First scroll up to the top of the page where you see the welcome box. There will be a small grey box with the word "Register" beside it. Click it.
{P}

2. The next step is to fill out the form. This should be self explanitory. When filling out your username do not add spaces, underscores, dashes, or capital letters. You will be able to edit your name once you have registered.
{P}

3. After you have filled out all the information read the Terms of Agreement and, if you agree to them, select "I Agree" and then click "Create Account".
{P}

4. It will then tell you that an activation code has been sent to your e-mail address. In order to activate your account you must go log in to your e-mail and find the message that was sent to you. It will give you a link back to Zireling Kingdom telling you to click it to activate your account, do so. From there you will have to type in your password. It will then direct you to another page where the activation code should already be filled out. Accept the activation code and your account will be activated.

Congradulations your new account has been created! Welcome to Zireling Kingdom!

Editing Your Profile

1. Now that you have your account created there is no doubt you are itching to fix it up. The first step in doing this is actually getting to the modifying page, and the first step to that is clicking the person icon beside the word "Profile".
{P}

2. On the page that comes up make sure that your account stats says "Activated" beside of it. Once you have double checked that click "Modify Profile" near the top of the box.
{P}

3. This is where you may change just about everything concerning your profile. You may add cappital letters, spaces, dashes, and/or underscores to your name, change your gender display, edit your avatar and signature, and even add a bit of personal text under your avatar.
--> In order to change your avatar you need the url of your image. If the image you want to use is saved onto your computer you can go to Image Shack to upload them and get a free url to copy and paste into the text box to change your avatar.
--> If you would like to add an image to your signature use the [ IMG]url here[/IMG ] code {removing the spaces between [, ], and IMG}. Other codes may be added by using codes in brackets { such as [ b]Bold[ /b], [ i]Italics[ /i], [ center]Center[ /center], etc. }.

4. After you have finished modifying your profile scroll down to the bottom and click "Modify Profile", this will save all changes you have made. If you ever decide to delete your account click the button just to the right of the "Modify Profile" button.

Posting On The Proboard

Posting Your Character

So you've just joined and now your ready to post your very first character on Zireling Kingdom, but how do you go about it? First you need to make sure that you have a sub-board with you name on it in the Create A Character board. Don't see a sub-board for you? Try contacting Ðεmøñ Çħį£d. Once you have your own sub-board you're ready to start! Start a new thread with your character's name as the title and choose one of the three forms to fill out from the Character Requirements. After you have posted your character send a PM to Ðεmøñ Çħį£d so that he can add your character to our number count up top.


Where do I post?

There are many plenty of boards to join on Zireling Kingdom, it is just they are hard to find sometimes; it's a pretty big site. So we have here a type of board advertisement called the B.I.N. { Boards In Need }. This can be found here, where you can look for a board to join or advertise your own boards and characters.

But perhaps you are not ready to join a board with people already in it or maybe your character didn't fit in to the setting or you just might want to start your own thread. That isn't too hard to do!

1. Start by reading the discriptions of the various places to post in and make your choice!

2. Next hit "New Thread" near the top right of the box.
{P}

3. Type in a name for your thread and type up an intro. Don't forget to use the Spell Check beside the Preview button! Once that is all done just hit Post Reply and your thread is up! =D

All Those Darn Buttons!

Quite obviously there is a lot you can do to a post on Proboards but the problem is knowing how to use them and what they do. Some are simple, like bold, italics, and underline, but others might perplex you, like Pretyped. So this should help explain what all you can do to your post! Below are the codes for all the buttons going from left to right starting on the top row { Exception: Code button }. There is a screen shot of what all the codes look like.
{P} Bold - Marquee
{P} Pretype - Font Size

You can change the glow color.
[glow=green,2,300]Glow Green.[/glow]
And how much glow there is by raising the first number.

Note: There will always be extra space beneath the glow.

Money?

You may have noticed that Under your avatar, post count, karma, etc., there is a place that says Money: $X,XXX. You earn money by posting at a rate of $5/post { Five dollars per post }. Great, so you have money...now what? Well you can trade that money in for extra things on the site! You can trade in your money at the Trade it in thread. Enjoy!

Karma.

What is Karma?
Karma is a point system for your fellow roleplayers to reward you.

How do you get Karma?
To the left of every post is a small list of information called a "mini profile" which contains your name, avatar, location, etc. Near the bottom of that list are two links that look like this [ Exalt | Smite ]. If you press the Exalt button under a member's name you would give them +1 Karma. If you press the Smite button under a member's name you would give them -1 Karma. However, you can not give or take Karma from yourself.
