Popular Post thegirlruka Posted October 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2015 Quick question, at what point are you able to edit your Member Title? It's at 50 posts. Don't spam to change your title though or else sly might put a punishment on you like he did with this guy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted May 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Over the past few years I've noticed members asked questions about some of the site's functions. Seeing how I was also looking to do something special for post #10,000, writing a tutorial seemed fitting. So below are the questions I've encountered the most and also some other useful tidbits. Useful Information Introductions & Forum Rules If you're new to PSNP, you can introduce yourself in the Introductions subforum. It's a great way to tell something about yourself and basically anything goes here as long as it's not against the site's Forum Rules. These are important to know, because breaking the rules is a sure way to get warning points. Getting 5 warning points results in a permanent ban. A warning points will disappear a year after you've received it. Quoting When posting on the forums, you may see something to reply to. In the bottom right corner of every post you'll see 2 buttons for quoting people: . The only difference between these is that the MultiQuote can be used to stock up to 10 quotes spread over different pages or even different threads and reply to them all. Using these will send a notification to the member whose post you've quoted (though this depends on their settings) and is generally a good way to make sure they see your reply. Embedding a Link When writing a text, there will be times when you want to add a link. It's possible to just paste the link and post it, but you can also embed one into a text (like the links to the Introductions and Forum Rules). To do that, type the text you want to use as a link. Afterwards select it and press the Link button in the toolbar (see image below), paste the link, and press "Ok". It's not just text that can be embedded with a link, this also works on images. In the upper right corner of every post there's a number. If you right-click this number, it's possible to copy to URL to a post. This can be used to link to a specific post. Numbered/Bulleted List When summing up information, inserting a numbered or bulleted list can be very helpful. The numbered list will automatically add a new number when pressing Enter. Likewise it'll also remove a number when deleting the info. Spoiler Tag These tags are great to conceal huge walls of text or actual spoilers . To insert one simply type: . Announcement Posts In the Chat Box you can create announcement posts by starting with: /me. Profile Customization Member TItle This refers to the text above your avatar in forum posts. A member title can be changed after having at least 50 posts. To change it, go to your settings and it'll be in the general settings. Profile and Gaming Session Time Zones This site uses time zones to adjust the trophy timestamps and the starting time for gaming sessions. However, the time zone for both of these are adjusted separately. For the PSN Profile time zone go to My Settings and it'll be in the Profile Settings. You can also toggle the option for Daylight Savings Time on and off here. For the Gaming Session time zone you need to go to the Gaming Session tab and click on the "Settings" link at the top of the page. This is very important to do when using Gaming Sessions, because the starting time will change too. Trophy Cabinet It's possible to display trophies you've earned of your choice on the PSN Profile page in the Trophy Cabinet. To do that, go to any trophy you've earned and click on the image once. Afterwards you should see a list of first and last achievers. All the way to the right is a green button with a white "+" in it. Clicking that will add a trophy to the cabinet. Note that regular members can only add 3 trophies, while premium members have a limit of 10 trophies. To change the order of trophies in the cabinet, select "Edit". You should see something like the image below. Simply click on the 8 dots on the left side and drag the trophy up/down to change the order. Clicking on the red dot with the "x" will remove a trophy from the cabinet. Managing Threads Changing Thread Titles To change a title of your own thread, simply go edit the first post. There will be a button that says "Use Full Editor" next to the "Save Changes". Click this and it'll be possible to change the title in the Topic Title section. Changing thread titles is also useful when creating an event and you want to update the status (for example: Event has ended or No longer accepting participants). (Un)Locking Threads This feature is exclusive for premium members only and can be used to claim more than one post in a row without anyone posting before you get them, which is useful when creating something like a checklist (more about that below). When you want more than one post, it's necessary to wait at least 30 minutes since the last post. Otherwise the posts will be merged together. To (un)lock threads, click on the Topic Moderation button near the top and then select "(un)lock" from the dropdown box. Note that if a mod locks a thread, you'll need their consent to unlock it or risk getting warning points. Checklist Checklists are great for keeping track of the backlog, obtained platinum trophies/100% completed games, milestones, and whatever else you want to add. While not necessary, members usually like to include something that refers to their username in the title, which gives a nice twist. A checklist can be created in the Trophy Checklists subforum. Posting Trophy Images This is something that's usually done in checklists, but also in threads like Most Recent Platinum and Post the Last Trophy you Earned. To post a trophy image: Go to the trophy list in the Games section or on your PSN Profile. Left-click on the trophy image you want to copy. Right-click the image and select "Copy". Go to the forum and paste it. Result: If you want a larger picture, repeat step 2 twice in a row (don't double click, click once and wait for the page to load then click again). Result: Guides Writing Guides To start a you need to have at least one trophy unlocked in a game, sync it to PSN, and update your profile here. When that's done, go to the trophy list and click on the green button on the right side that says "Create a Trophy or Gameplay Guide". A menu will pop up and here it's possible to choose between a Trophy Guide, DLC Trophy Guide, or Gameplay Guide. Note that the DLC Trophy Guide is only possible if the game has DLC trophies. (DLC) Trophy Guides are your average "how to get the platinum trophy/100% completion" guides where each trophy has its own description. Gameplay Guides are used for a few different things: collectible checklists, extra information about a single trophy, enemy/boss strategies, strategies/tactics about a game mechanic, etc. After creating a guide, it's placed in the "My Guides" tab in the Guides section of the site (see image below). So don't worry about having to write it in one sitting. For more information about writing guides, take a look at the Guide Manual. In case you want to write a guide, post about it in the What Guide(s) are you Currently Writing? thread, which can also be used to find a contributor. Are you interested in taking a request or do you need a guide? If so, the List of Guides Needed to be Made keeps track of member requests. PSNP Guide of the Year Awards To encourage high quality guides and reward members for their hard work, PSNP has an annual Guide of the Year Awards. Every year members can nominate guides that have been published between last year's December 2nd and this year's December 1st. The 10 guides with the most nominations will be reviewed by the Guide Team and Moderating Team and they will pick the 3 guides that have the highest quality. These guides get a shiny badge and the writers also receive a prize.

Dragon-Archon Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Are there any other commands in the chat feature? (besides /me) You can start a private chat with one other member, other than that it's pretty much the same as the Forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
