Hello and welcome to my Newbies Forum Guide! Hope you will learn from it.

Before you read this thread - Please read the forum rules:
Forum Rules | Skyblock Forums

Okay, let's get started.

Posting A Thread:
When I first joint the forums, I had no clue on how to post a thread! Over the last month, I have been noticing new members joining everyday which is great! I really hope the new members get involved and interactive with the community. Okay, without further ado, let's get started.

Tip: I would suggest that your first post should be an introduction. Mainly so the community can get to know a bit about you.

Click on the topic you want to post a thread on and look for "Post New Thread." It should be located near the topic right hand corner. This is what it looks like:

​

Once you've clicked on it, it should take you to a white black page with text editing tools and a pretty big blank white page to write your text. It should look like this:

First of all, create a title for your thread. Where it says "Thread Title...," click on that section and make a title. I am pretty sure most of you are familiar with the editing tools so I don't think I need to explain that. Well, that's all for Creating A Thread.

Posting A Comment:
Whether you comment on an introduction, mod application or anything else, this is how you do it. Scroll down to the bottom of the comments, (if there is any,) and look for this:

Click on the section where it says "Write you reply..." and post your feedback/comment. If you want to upload a picture, click "Upload A File" and select your image. Once you've done that, the image will not automatically upload. Scroll down a bit and you should see "Attached Files." You will then see your image and if you want the whole image, press "Full Image." If you want a small version of it, press "Thumbnail."
Once you have thought what you want to write, click "Post Reply."

Rating A Post:
If you think the thread/comment is good or bad, give it a rating. Do not give too much ratings or that is considered "Rate Abuse," which is bannable. Anyway, here are the ratings:

​

Thumbs up = Like, (you like the post.)
Thumbs down = You dislike the post, (you don't like the post.)
Tick = Agree, (you agree with the post.)
Cross = Disagree, (you disagree with the post.)
Smiley face = Funny, (you think the post is funny.)
Medal = Winner, (you think the post is a winner/successful.)
I = Informative, (you think the post is detailed.)
Heart = Friendly, (you think the post is friendly.)
Angry face = Rude, (you think the post is harmful/rude.)
Tool = Useful, (you think the post is useful/helpful.)
Rainbow = Optimistic.
Paint brush = Creative, (you think the post is creative.)
Clock = Old, (you think the post has been done multiple times.)
ABC = Bad Spelling, (you think the post is spelt in-correctly.)

Changing your profile picture:
First of all, go to your profile page and click on your current profile pic/avatar. Next, press "Choose File " and choose an image you want to be your profile picture.

How To Follow A Member:
Following a member simply means that you have basically friended them by following them. You can follow people who you like such as friends or you can follow someone who you enjoy. Anyway, click on the member's profile and it should come up with this:

Click "Follow."

Starting A Private Conversation:
Private conversations is used for people who want to have a conversation with a friend/member without anyone else interacting. Go to the member's profile page and click "Start a Conversation." Before you start the conversation, you have to think of a title for the specific topic you are going to talk about. This is because if you don't give it a title, it doesn't allow you to create the conversation.

You can also add other members, so if you want to have a private group conversation, you can add other members. The maximum members allowed is 5. To add more members, look for Participants and do, "Member," "Other Member," "Member," etc.

What Each Section Is Used For:

News & Announcements: This is used for news and announcements from the server owner and admin. The main thing posted is the top voters for the server.

Introductions: This is used for members who introduce themselves. Mainly giving information about their life or gaming information.

Discussion: This is used for posts that has got something relating to the server.

Suggestions: This is used for suggestions that you think could help improve the server.

Appeals: This is used for ban appeals. You can only appeal if you have got banned.

Applications: This is used for people who are applying for moderator. I suggest to not apply until you get recognized by the community.

Report: This is used for people who want to report a specific player for breaking any Skyblock rules.

Help: In this section, there is different stuff such as "Help Archive," Guides & "How To" and Donor & Donation Issues."

Help Archive is for people who need help with a certain thing.
Guides & "How To" is used for people posting guides/tutorials for something.
Donor & Donation Issues is used for people who are currently having some issues with a purchase of donor.

Well, that's all for now. Please let me know if I forgot anything. Thanks.
I really hope this helped the newbies.
