Gibsonm Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 A suggestion is to add labels to the sections so the info is easier to find. For example: 1. LEARNING TO PLAY WITH YOURSELF (haha) A. Through Experience B. Through Reading 2. PLAYING WITH OTHERS A. Regular Events B. Semi-Regular Events C. Organized Groups Sure once I know how to do it. Working out how to underline was bad enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 *Sigh* This is what's wrong with humanity Are you sure that is the ONLY problem Hedge? On second thoughts - don't answer that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted June 19, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 19, 2015 Sure once I know how to do it.Working out how to underline was bad enough. I added some sections in there. Once you are happy with it, I think the best thing to do is to add it as a separate forum that sends users straight there when clicked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 SB Pro is much like Sex and Playing Live Music. Much better with someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSe419E Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) We may have to thank a youtuber for that."DevilDogGamer"(??), he has quiete a few followers. Good promo I'd say!!And agreed, there should be a sticke with some basic info on all the active/available VU's for new players to get Info...Idealy in the opening post.He is the reason that I found this game. I did not realise how much I missed being on a tank until I saw DevilDogGamers' videos. Which led me to more videos, which led me to buy this sim. I haven't been on a tank in over 30 years but this sim is probably more acurrate than I remember things. I am impressed by how easy modern technology has made this line of work (tanking, that is). Will start online soon.Tim :cvc:P.S. I like the wiki page, it is a good place to start.

Gibsonm Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 P.S. I like the wiki page, it is a good place to start. Thanks for the feedback, esp. from someone without a bunch of assumed knowledge. Its still in draft but should be finalised in the next day or so. Welcome aboard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ_Fubar Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The Starter Pack is now linked on the wiki's main page! Please let me know if it should be moved around any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Right so the Wiki page (such that it is) is written. Of course the target audience has no idea its there or how to get to it. Can we have a "sticky announcement" (if such a thing exists) which is a simple link to the Wiki Page? Something like: Subject: "Where to go if you are a new person"Text: Congratulations on buying Steel Beasts and welcome to the community! Your first port of call should be the dedicated Wiki page for new comers: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbwiki/index.php?title=Starter_Pack And keep in mind the Wiki itself is a great reference tool to supplement the User Manual: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page After that, have a look around here and feel free to introduce yourself to the group. Welcome! That should keep the new person on track and avoid comments about what does and does not happen in goal, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Maybe include it in a welcome e-mail that gets sent out when someone registers on the site? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
