Welcome to PixieHollowForums! Start here!
Welcome to Pixiehollowforums.com! We are so excited to have you join us. I'm sure you'll have many questions, so I'll try to answer a few of those questions here. Make sure you create a "Greeting" post in this forum so we can all get to know you!
Forum Navigation First let's talk about the forum navigation buttons at the top of the page. These buttons are viewable from every page of the forum. Home - Clicking this will take you to the very front page of Pixiehollowforums.com. The Home page is where you will find news about the game, member created polls, Site Navigation menu with links to our Sister Sites, a list of your online buddies, a list of all members online, Top Posters, a link to our live IRC Chat, latest donations and a link to donate yourself, a link to Site Rules, and the most recent posts. Forums - Clicking this button will take you directly to the entire forum listing. From here you can view or make new posts. Browse the forums to find the one you are interested in and click on that forum. See the next post for further information on how to actually post. Arcade - Have fun playing arcade games! Open to all members that have posted at least once. Top arcade winners receive an Arcade Scroller name (green and scrolls) every few months! UserPages - Quick access to a list of other people's UserPages. UserCP - This is an exciting area! You can change your profile, add info about your fairy(s), change settings, subscribe to threads, request Group Memberships, and more in this area! (See below for more details). Register - This button will take you to a page to register your membership on Pixiehollowforums.com. If you are already registered and logged in, you will get a message saying this. FAQ - Some of our more commonly asked questions can be found here. Community - Quick access to Members list, your albums & friends as well as listing the Top Posters. Calendar - The calendar lists members' birthdays and exciting events that are member-added, such as special events. Gallery - Our Gallery is the only 100% approved image hosting. You also have the option of your own albums listed in your profile (see below). **At this point in time we do not have this feature, we hope to have one soon** New Posts - Will bring up any new posts that have been made. Search - Use this page for searching for certain topics, posts by specific people, or posts within a certain date range. UserCP Your Profile Edit Your Details - Here you can change your Custom User Title, hide your date of birth (we recommend displaying only the day and month but not year), add any Instant Messenger and Gaming details, and add your Fairies names, addresses and favorite things! Customise Profile - You can change the background color or add a background picture to your profile (please make sure the background picture is added to a profile and not general album). Edit Profile Picture - Upload a picture that will be displayed to members that view your profile. Please do not add personally identifying pictures for your own security! Networking Contacts & Friends - Change who you want on your friends list. Group Memberships - Join specialized groups here. These are only visible if you are a member of that group and the groups give you special rank images by joining. Pictures & Albums - Add pictures or albums to your profile. A guide to adding pictures is located here. These albums are different than posting to the gallery. Settings & Options Edit Avatar - Pick from one of the MANY standard avatars available or create your own g-rated avatar and upload it here!

Miscellaneous Event Reminders - Will list out events you have added to the calendar and requested reminders. Paid Subscriptions - Takes you to a page to upgrade your subscription. All basic subscriptions are free, but to cover the cost of equipment to run the site, we ask for paid subscriptions to receive larger private message storage, userpages, and/or signatures. Attachments - Besides our Gallery and albums, you have a limited amount of Attachment space that you can use. Manage your attachments here. Important Points of Interest Mods/Admins - A list of all of our Mods and Admins can be found here. If you require help, please contact one of these helpful individuals. Policies - Every forum has policies, right? Ours can be found here. If you don't understand one of our policies, please contact a Mod or Admin. We would be happy to help clarify our policies for you.
