The Guide to the Main Navigation Bar

<img:/img/new/navbar.gif>

The Navigation Bar is your main means of transportation between the different areas in Elftown. Here's a quick guide to it:

<img:http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/ET/t/main.gif>
This button goes to the main page of Elftown. Here, you'll be able to find the latest changes and updates concerning the whole of Elftown, polls and summaries of news and the Daily Poem and Featured Art.

<img:http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/ET/t/house.gif>
This is the place to go to view your own information that other Elftowners are allowed to see. Of course, you can edit your information - even your alias!

Are you annoyed by another Elftowner? You can contact us, or you can effectively turn on the "block" feature to block out all messages to you sent by this person. (But if the harassment is serious, please contact the Town Guards concerning the situation.)

The Messages feature is like your own little mailbox in Elftown. You are able to privately send and receive messages with fellow Elftowners via EMS (Elftown Message System, haha...)

View Messages - You are able to look at old messages sent to you by other Elftowners.
To send messages, go to the person's profile page and to the bottom of the page.

Sent Messages - You are able to look at messages previously sent by you to other Elftowners.

The Wiki is a place for unlimited creativity. Everyone can edit the wiki pages and even add new wiki pages. Read the wiki_intro for more information.

<img:http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/ET/t/notes.gif>
To make life easier, you can take notes of the pages you visit frequently and return there without going through a hoard of middle-links. Especially ideal for the Forums-pages, where finding posts can be a tiresome act...
When you press the icon, you'll come to a page where your list of notes is presented. To make a note, look at the bottom of any page where you can save the current page to your list of notes.

<img:http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/ET/t/search.gif>
Looking for an Elftowner? In Elftown's Search, you can do this. The search for Elftowners is based on the information people publish on their profile page ('Homes').

If you want to search for postings, go to the bottom of the forum page.

<img:http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/ET/t/forums.gif>
Elftown's own "tavern", where you can find, give, exchange and request information with other Elftowners. To get an in-depth Guide to the Forums-pages, go to the Forum Hints page.

This button must only be used when the real world needs tending to. Elftown is your home, after all...


<img:http://ew2.lysator.liu.se/ET/t/read.gif>
This is a shortcut to the next unread posting in the forums you have joined. If there are no new postings the button will say "No unread posts".

2004-05-22 [Nagel the Mage]: how do i change my password?

2004-05-22 [Nagel the Mage]: How do I change my password??

2004-06-28 [Tári Nénharma]: the images are outdated.

2004-06-29 [peura]: You're quite right about that... Since this wiki page isn't password protected anyone who feels up to it is welcome to fix that :-)

2004-06-29 [True, plain and simple]: Fixed, minus the screenshot.

2004-08-04 [Angel_of_ Destruction]: How do you make it so someone can't see your page anymore?

2004-08-07 [Ocean Dreaming]: If I recall - you don't. You can block a person, though.

2004-08-10 [sadiis]: Ok, so how do you block a person? Thanks :)

2004-08-14 [Ocean Dreaming]: Go to their house and scroll down to the message box. Below that is a button that says 'Block this member'. That'll block them. Likewise - if you want to unblock them, you need to do the same thing. The button will just read 'Unblock this member'. ^-^

2004-08-15 [sadiis]: Thank you Shanra.. :)

2004-12-29 [Wild_Angel]: But How Does All This Work?

2004-12-29 [Sunrose]: What exactly? :)

2005-02-12 [ababy]: how do you get the @wiki pictures in your house

2005-02-12 [Sunrose]: @wiki pictures?

2005-02-12 [Ocean Dreaming]: I think she means the banner images that say 'communityname@wiki'. [ababy], you get them the same way you put any other image in your house (although mostly the one rule is that you need to be a member of the wiki). Read through the guide to the pseudo html on Elftown if you don't know how to inline images. ^-^ Most wiki-communities will have some form of explanation on their banner page.

2005-11-18 [GougexMyxEyes]: If I want to unblock a person, I go to their house and below the message box is a button that says "unblock this member"? Well, for me it just says "you are blocking this member" and it doesn't let me unblock that person. So, how do I unblock them?
