RENAMED: Website Users Manual

[Maria TunVrrtep]

It's not language at all.  It's a kind of Survival Guide for the site here.  It's got stuff for all the newbies so they can get around on the web site and figure out where stuff is.

[Maria TunVrrtep]

And we are FAR off from a cover.  I want to get the meat of the book done before we decide on cover artwork, but submit it and we'll look at it.

[überdoodlet]

Well, it better to have it than not. Any idea on how we can get the "meat" to get this rolling?

[Maria TunVrrtep]

It's going.  It's just going slow.  Mostly because I'm not getting submissions. 
I'm going to work on it during Christmas Vacation.  I only get one week off but I'm going to try to get as much of it as I can done.

ill send something soon when i can.

That's what I thought.... Well, do what you can.

This may sound like a "newb" thing to say... BUT... the site has been here for over a year I believe... Since the language is so new, and still growing as a full language almost daily I think it would be beneficial to newbies such as myself to have users signatures explained..

Some of the users who have a lot of Na'vi in their signatures could put the english conversion somewhere in their signature. I know that personally I go through and read a lot of the signatures which users have created and then go to my books and try to translate them.. perhaps for the first year or so until the language really has grown into something more then it is now, it would benefit new users to be able to see the translation right in front of them..

Its kind of a catch 22 because if you really care about the language then you'll go and look things up and try to translate it on your own, however some will get frustrated by this and think its either too much for them, or just not care enough.. With the translation before them, they will be able to better understand the language, hopefully not get as frustrated about it and will "want" to stay..

its 1 am, I'm a bit tired.. But I've been thinking about this since I joined... Don't criticize to harshly... lol..

[Maria TunVrrtep]

Arantele,
I don't think it's a "newb" thing to say at all.  I think it's inquisitive and a great thought. 
Some people will put a tag on the signature to translate what they say.  It's called a Description tag.  It turns the text red.
You type desc="whatever you want to appear as the translation" inside a pair of []'s and when you hover your mouse over it. 
There will be a section on BBCodes in the handbook. 
Until everyone starts doing that, do what I do.  Send people a PM and ask what their Signature means. 
So you know, there are many different BBCode tags.  If you're interested in them, google BBCodes and you will find them.

Also, the site is not quite a year old yet.  It will have its first birthday on the 21st of this month.  I doubt you will get everyone to do the desc tag thing to their signatures though.  If you really want/need to know, just send them a PM, they're free

Understood!! as I said... I was sleepy and my logic was.... not all there :-)

Leave Taronyu alone.  He's probably the only one who can drink me under the table.

I only mean that in good fun.

LOL I knew that.  I was just kidding too.  Actually probably a lot of people can drink me under the table.  Though I can handle a lot of booze.  I've had me some practice you know.

Bet he doesn't drink real beer though!!!

You don't know how badly I laughed at that...

Ok, I realize I'm not contributing to the topic at hand.  I should leave.

HRH!  I'm confused!  Who would drink beer when there was single malt Scotch available?      

NOTE:  Never play a drinking game with a 44 year old woman who grew up drinking a small scotch and water with her grandfather when he came in from work every night!  HEHEHE 

[überdoodlet]

Off topic bomb?

Well, TV, how many replies have you been getting? Are they even constant? Are they enough to build anything upon?

[Maria TunVrrtep]

I've gotten stuff on the thread as suggestions, but only a couple of people have actually sent me anything. 

I really don't know what to do other than begging people to send stuff.

well....what do you have so far? is it not enough whatsoever to release a beta of some sorts to a few people for review? it seems you are the only one who can currently look at it?
