Hey new members!! Come here if you need advice

Hey All new members,

Well you have made the first step in joining up

Now as you look around you think "oh my gosh" what a big site

Then you think "ummm like how does everything work"

Questions enter your mind and you are not quite sure who to ask,

Or even if your question will seem somewhat silly,

My advice is! No question is a silly one,

So i have made this thread for you all to ask them questions that you are just not sure about,

I will first give you this link,

Zedd's Handbook of ATS Links

This will help answer more than a few questions you may find your self asking, I..e like *what are points?*

What is a u2u!!


You will find your u2u's in the member center



and also there is a message when you recieve a u2u




You can contact me via u2u or any other staff member here on ATS, Also a number of members are happy to help guide you around,

We evewn have a Adobt a new member thread! Where a long term member will take you under there wing and help you get to grips with the board, untill you can fly on your own.

adopt a newbie!

Enjoy your ATS journey, and venture in to our other boards.

Asala

I can help by being an "ATS parent" if any one is interested.

allways gald to help the newbies.

Need advise on a couple things.1 How come after a little pause (maybe 5,10 minutes)it logs you out.2 You can not get a avatar posted until the member center links gets back online.Is that correct? Would appreciate any wisdomly advise from any pro..Thanks

Lucky newbies get to converse with the always-friendly Asala.

Just a reminder regarding U2Us that you can't reply to or send any U2Us until you have 20 posts under your belt.

Excellent idea, Minnie. If you weren't a mod, I would give you one of my WATS votes for this month



Mine is - Why doesn't Tesco sell Pixy Stix and Minnie mouse ears ?

I think asala might be amassing the newbies for some uber-evil reason that or she's a nice person...one to think on

Great Newbie Helper thread

Well as long as the newbies remember not to feed Asala after midnight and absolutely do NOT get her wet, we will be okay.

Silver.................







hmm this is something i believe that is more to do with your computer?
Im not aware of this happening to others,




Yes at this time the upload is down, Though you can use imageshack to upload your avatar,

Then go to this thread for a pic by pic step to getting your avatar on ATS,
www.abovetopsecret.com...

If you are having any problems getting your Avatar up let me know, and i will have the mod djdohboy assist you,

How do I mix a long island ice tea in the correct porportions?

- 1/2 oz Absolut Citron Vodka
- 1/2 oz Bacardi Limon Rum
- 1/2 oz Jose Quervo Gold
- 1/2 oz Triple Sec
- 1/2 oz Dry Gin
- 4 oz Sour Mix
- 2 oz Coke

I believe that Tesco signed a peace treaty with Disney in '92 citing increased poaching of Pixies and Minnies...

Fear not, for the Original Cornish Pixy plans to infiltrate the ranks of the Asala-minati and bring their nefarious activities to the notice of the world

Proof that the Asala-minati are cloning Asala in order to take over the world:
I wonder which Asala is the clone ?

Since I can't get into 'suggestions', I was thinking, since I write myself, that after looking at so many stories on the collboative fiction threads, that I may have a good suggestion..but then again maybe not.
Why not get all the writers to each write one chapter each and continue until it is a full book, a horror book, suspense, comedy, etc, then sell it, I think with all the creative writers I have seen and good at that .....that if they all got together and started a book it could sell and make money for AtS?

I didn't see this in the handbook so I'll ask here:

wtf is warn,way above supposed to do anyway? guessing game threads?

Since 'She of the Minnie Mouse ears' is not here at this time, the Original Cornish Pixy will attempt to answer the questions asked.

Way above is the way members show their appreciation for particularly interesting or entertaining threads. Each month the votes are counted and the winner gets a medal on their avatar.

You get warnings if you do things like posting crap/porn, single line answers or breach Simon's terms. If you get five warnings ( I believe) you get banned for a limited amount of time.

It's good to be here. I've been a visitor for some time now, perhaps over the last two years even (has this site been up that long?)

It's a sign of a great community when people step forward to help out the uninitiated and otherwise clueless new members. Thanks for the support.

I will try to offer my opinions, for whatever they may be worth, now that I am a member.

So, from the Granite State and the great white Northeast, many thanks and good wishes for many years of knowledge and the truth. Ya-hoooo!

Thanks pisky


angeleyes101 Sounds like a good idea... something im sure others will think about.,we do have that kind of this almost.

Member Fiction
Our Fiction forum is divided into two sections: Collaborative Fiction, which finds members working together to create detailed and often incredible works of fiction; and Short Stories, which allow a member to post their short stories and other writings for the enjoyment of ATS' members. If you are interested in posting your own writings or are interested in joining a collaborative fiction thread, please send a U2U to John Bull 1. Please note that you must be assigned the status of "Writer" by John Bull 1 before you can post in this forum.
