For those of you that are new: Welcome to the website! We're glad you chose to join us, and we hope that you enjoy yourself.
Now I am going to answer some questions for those of you who don't know what to do on a website like this, because ten to one, new people keep bothering Mods about stuff like this. The only reason why I didn't was because I was terrified of a majority of the moderators.
------Zitka's Q&A Center-----
So that the Questions area of our website isn't filled with a hundred million new people asking questions...and because she knows how hard it was to figure all this crap out on her own!
Question 1:
"Where is the Forum Index/Home Page?"
ANSWER--The Forum INDEX/Home Page is on the top, left hand side of your post screen. Look for the words "Legends of Avatar RPG", and then click to go to the main page.
Question 4:
"What's all that at the bottom of the Home Page? (Index)"
ANSWER—That’s the Chatbox. You can log on and chat on it with other members just like in a chat room.
The NAMES on the bottom are the recent active users. Moderators names will be in green, while Administrators names will be in red , Co. Admins are in blue and normal users will be in WHITE.
Question 5:
"Someone is threatening me across the internet and won't leave me alone..what do I do?"
ANSWER-- Tell an ADMINISTRATOR as fast as you can! They have the power to ban people from the website via IP ADDRESS, so they can no longer bother you ON THIS WEBSITE...we can't do too much about email threats and so on. They will be permanently blocked, even if they try and log in on another account.
Question 6:
"What is PM and how do you do it?"

ANSWER- Simple, dear friends. When you begin to compose a reply to any topic (by clicking "Reply to Topic" on the top left of the screen while looking at a forum or topic) you can see that right below where you put the title (the big empty space where it says "Subject") is a number of small squares. They are IN ORDER:
B- Bold: Simply highlight a word of phrase and click this button and it will become boldface when you either preview or submit your reply.
I- Italicize: Again, highlight and it will appear in italics.
U- Underline
S-Strikethrough- This has a neat little line going through your words. While it's cool to look at, it's hard to read. Try to avoid it.
