What do you want advice on in particular? The forums are really easy to navigate once you get the hang of them. :)

Is there a guide? That answer questions about what is a bad idea or a good idea to do in a forum. And lingo too.

Thank you guys. I searched forum manners. It said no match. Do you know of a guide to being a constructive member of forums?

*thread* not forum :p and don't post in threads whose last post is more than a month ago. that's called bumping and it may confuse people on updates.

Use good grammar and spelling, do not talk like u r txting bcuz its hard 2 understand, dont single out or flame users, dont use excessive e:Dm:Do:Dt:Di:Dc:Do:Dn:Ds and use a wide range of vocabulary.
Also be nice and try to help out other users.

Right here in this thread :)
And don't worry, your manners are great. Just start posting. If you're unsure of something you can pm (private message) someone first and ask.

These threads appear to move around and change order. Is there a reason why?

The latest post to a thread bumps it up to the top of the area it's in, unless it's stickied, then it just moves around in the sticky area. Wow, that reads really bad, but I hope you get the jist.

What is stickied?
If a thread is stickied it never disappears down the list. Like a sticky note. It's for things many people will reference or important stuff.

Can I have it then:p?
It's worth noting that we of course, all adore those threads (so much that anyone who's me has read it about 50 times!)

It's also a different colour and called "Sticky:" which makes them easier to see.

Huh I don't get it. And does anyone know what tag clouds are and v tags and why you wouldn't want a v tag to get picked up?
