TF'S V5 GUIDE

I know there's going to be a million things people are going to ask, so to cut down on questions for those who don't know how V5 works, I present Dani's TF V5 for Dummies. To be fair this is a useful guide for just about anyone so you all know how the new features work, but I just wanted to call it that. I will be doing my best to make this a constructive list so you all know about the shiny new stuff and the shiny changed stuff (and how to un-break all your old stuff).

★ @tagging. A roleplaying site's best friend, really. Now, when you @tag people, they will get a notification like a site message! PLEASE NOTE, you must tag their USERNAME, not DISPLAY NAME. For example, @ lukas (no space) would tag my character Lukas Madeleine, however @ Lukas Madeleine would do nothing.

★ Built-in account switcher – if you look at the bottom right of your screen, there will be a panel that will take you to every account you have attached to this site through your email.

★ Notifications for just about everything so you won't miss stuff (nor do you no longer have an excuse to miss it! HA!). You can set what you are notified by in Profile > Edit profile > Notifications.

★ For our coders & template makers, coding in posts is a lot less jumbled and far more direct. It will take some getting used to, but I, personally, love it. It's straightforward style/css coding.

★ WYSIWYG post editor...you can edit directly WHILE previewing it.

★ The ability to save a template in your settings, which will pop up every time you hit reply.

★ A terrifying amount of social-netwoek-esque features (liking, following, friending, your personal messages displayed under your icon in the forums is now called your “status”...) which to be honest, with us at the wheel of them, I'm sure will end in disaster and hilarity.

★ Being able to see all the threads you recently posted in via 'Participation' on the top nav bar.

★ The potential to have more than one skin so members can choose which one they want to use...we only have one...for now.

★ All important site content that never required a member to respond to it have been moved to their own shiny custom pages.

★ New templates for everything – events / announcements / staffy things (this one I'm using now), profiles, and the responses to profiles.

★ NEW event insignia system. This isn't terribly exciting, but each event will now be marked with a specific insignia as to what has the heaviest influence/presence in it – Fate, Destiny, Chaos, or the Impedio Society. They will be the center of the 3 icons at the top.

★Where is my character profile/thread?!
In the v4 archives. Update it to the new template/compatible code, then post HERE. All details about it are in that thread.

★ Why is my [ img ] tags not working?!
Because it's img src="link" now (in [ ] like normal, just had to make sure that would show). If you're adept in CSS, also note you can style images directly like this, with the style="csshere" before src="link".

★ Why is [ center ] not working?!
Because it's div align-center now.

★ Why are my links not working?!
Because it's not url=, it's a href=

★ My template is broke!
If you had one off a resource site, I suggest simply going to get a new v5-compatible one. If you have one made by one of our members, ask them if they can fix it for you. If you made yourself one but aren't a coding whiz and need assistance, please ask in the cbox if anyone can offer help – we have a few code-savvy people around the site.
