Welcome to TheTechGame
This post has been created to help the newcomers get to know the site. Or the old ones that still need a bit of help
If you feel something should be added, please feel free to contact me Original poster: tattoo Table of contents:
Account Page.
Reputation. Rank. Premium/Gold. Thanking Topics. Shoutbox. Tutorials & Downloads. Videos. Staff. Rules. Backgrounds. Reporting Threads/Profiles. Stickies & Announcements. Useful/Not Useful. How To Submit: Tutorials, Videos, and Downloads. News Section. BB Code/Thread/Post Tools. FAQ. Contact Us. Screen Cap Programs. Account Page.
Below you will find a screen cap of my account page, similar to yours. Only a select few, customizable things will be different. Now, the page will be labeled in numbers and boxes. You will have to coordinate the numbers and boxes the the numbers here on this thread in order to find what/how each item/thing is usable, and how it is used.
First part of a profile: http://i.imgur.com/hoLEG93.jpg Find each number below for an explanation for each: 1. The number one box contains your username, avatar, rank, and gold badge (If applies to you). 2. This is where your profile banner is located 3. The number three box is where you will find your status. As long as it abides by the rules, you can set it at whatever. 4. The number four box is where you will find your site badges/achievements. Which can be found here: Site ranks 5. The number five box contains a YouTube video of your choice. As long as it abides by the rules, of course. 6. The number six box will show you the last 10 people to view your profile along with your recent activity. 7. The number seven box is where you can tab through your Wall, Warnings, Friends, Friend request, Members on the site, Forums posted by you, Your News Comments, Reputations given & received, Submissions, and Bookmarks In this box you will find where to update your status, Account settings, and where to manage your images(avatars, banners, signatures) http://i.imgur.com/5Jy6zex.png Second part of a profile: http://i.imgur.com/OTJExaF.jpg 8. The number eight box is where you will find all the users information they wish to share after clicking the 3 orange dots, this drop down will appear. 9. The number nine box is your wall where people/friends are able to post based on your settings. Reputation.
Rep is usually given out for someone contributing something, or helping etc.
There is a place to leave a comment which can be seen by the receiver. http://i67.tinypic.com/2vjvcpw.png Click the drop down to select how many points you wish to give. Regular members can send up to 25 points Gold members can send up to 50 points Sectional mod and Global mods can rep up to 100 points Admins can rep up to 1000 points When repping someone, you do not loose rep points! Rep can be given from someones profile or from the forums as show: http://i68.tinypic.com/mwqioj.png Or. http://i68.tinypic.com/msm4vd.png Rep from others: A way to earn rep is receiving rep from others. 100 rep from other members = 1 rep power How to earn rep without others repping you: For every 25 posts you post, you advance by 1 Rep power. So this means if you make 75 posts in 4 days, you will have gained 3 rep powers. Sometimes it may say more then 25 posts to earn a rep power. This is because you posted on a deleted topic Reputation powers: Purple block = 1000 rep power Yellow block = 100 rep power Green block = 10 rep power Ranks.
Link to the rank page:
https://www.thetechgame.com/Forums/ranks.html To find out how to obtain a badge, hover over 'Special Rank' or the number required. Premium/Gold.
How to get Gold:
There are 2 ways to get gold. Buy The easiest way is buying yourself. Click the premium tab along the upper part of your screen and you will be lead through. You need a Paypal account with money on it, that has been verified by a legitimate bank account. Getting Gifted If a member decides that you deserve to be gifted gold they will give you something called the gift Of gold. This is where this certain member pays for your gold for you. Which in my eyes is very generous. You do not have to pay for anything and you get everything a gold member who purchased their own gold. Ways of receiving this gift is helping out members, being active, hosting lobbies etc. Gold membership gives you a lot. To see everything click the premium tab. Or click Here Colored name Gold member badge Instant Messaging Early access to features Less ads Signatures Gold Gifter/Member+ badge opportunity. Access to hidden forums A motto A name change Much more! Thanking topics.
The Thanks button is only on threads, not posts on thread.
This was added to show your show your appreciation towards a topic. How to thank: All you have to do is hit the thanks button, no need for an amount or anything like rep does. So, look at the bottom left hand corner of a thread you deem helpful. http://i66.tinypic.com/14b00zo.png You will then see a screen to verify you want to thank the thread. http://i67.tinypic.com/2lsw8k7.png How to see how many thanks you have: To find how many 'Thanks' you have, click on 'Account' http://i65.tinypic.com/2nh2m4m.png Now select 'Forums' http://i63.tinypic.com/dmcimc.png Now here you can see all your forum stats. Such as helpful posts, posts per day etc. http://i65.tinypic.com/slscpy.png Shoutbox.
Many of you may not know about this, but it is quite fun. This is one of the few good ways to get known around TTG.
If you stick around long enough, you may find yourself a little visit from the rep fairy. Repfairy/shoutbox information Shout box: Members_Shout.html You can also find the shout box under the 'Quick Links' tab http://i64.tinypic.com/24144dk.png Shout box Rules As in all areas of the site, you must abide by the rules. I suggest not spamming, that leads you to a mute which eventually leads to a ban/suspension. You can post links, as long as they pertain to the rules. Some sites are block. Pornographic/drug related images are not permitted in the shoutbox. Just use common sense and you'll make friends and won't be banned. Shoutbox settings You can access and change these settings to your liking, but are for premium members only. To access the settings, find this button at the bottom of the shoutbox area. http://i66.tinypic.com/iydl61.png Click on that button. You will find this page that pops up. http://i63.tinypic.com/160q2hu.png You can adjust those settings for yourself. They are mostly straight forward. Tutorials & Downloads.

These are found at the top of every forum.
The red/darker orange is a global announcement meaning it will be there on every forum. http://i65.tinypic.com/2uoi0lz.png The lighter orange is an announcement for the forum you are on. http://i67.tinypic.com/a23gia.png The green means sticky for the forum you are on.
