Welcome to the Order of the Serpent forum. Here are a few things to keep in mind when using the system:
Forum Decorum1. PostingThis forum is intended to facilitate mature Left-Hand Path discussions. The boards are lightly moderated, but personal attacks and trolling won't be tolerated. Please format posts so others can read them. You are in control of your content and can modify it at any time with the exception of deleting entire threads.
Discussing illegal activities or perpetuating racism, neo-nazism, and other hate-based philosophies will result in the related posts to be deleted and a ban.2. SecurityAvoid sharing personal information on the site, and use email addresses that can't easily be traced back to you personally. In the event of a problem, there may be little choice but to revert to a previous snapshot, so please keep copies of important posts.
Features/Quirks1. ImagesThe easiest way to post images is to simply attach them. If you want them to appear in-line, use the "Insert Image" button on the toolbar and provide a link to the image. Imgur images should inline without tags as long as you link to the actual JPG or PNG and not the main page.
2. VideosThe forum automatically embeds YouTube videos, so just paste the link directly into the message.
3. AudioMP3, WAV, and OGG attachments will cause a player to be displayed at the bottom of the message. Soundcloud audio may be embedded like this:
[soundcloud]<song url>[/soundcloud]
[cloudset]<set url>[/cloudset]
4. ConversationsThere is a bug in the Conversations system that causes attachments to be deleted if the post is previewed, so please add them last.
5. GalleryThe image gallery only shows an alert when a comment is made.
6. BBCodeBBCode is useful if you prefer to use an external editor. The following tags are supported:
abbr acronym anchor b bdo black blue br center code color email flash font ftp glow green html hr i img iurl left li list ltr me move nobbc php pre quote red right rtl s shadow size sub sup table td time tr tt u url white justify h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 nofollow youtube yt vimeo gifv
7. BlogsA (very) basic blog system is available. PM me for details if interested. Example:
http://orderoftheserpent.org/blogs/Onyx/8. Time ZoneThe server is set for UTC time. In your profile under Look and Layout there is a Time Offset field you can use to show your local time. If you live in an area that has Daylight Saving Time, you may have to adjust the offset manually. (The auto-detect link will usually take care of it.) If anyone needs assistance with this please let me know.
Xeper.
