I Thought since I quite New to the Fourms Post this as a First Topic

These are Simple Ones for New Commers so Please take Pitty that Im no Pro
Start:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creating a Full Portal/Home

First step is to Login. Next step you need to Click the Admin Tab, the Admin Tab is where you edit the Whole Fourms from and is Also Known as the AdminCP on Other Hosts such as vBulletin.
Now once the Page has Loaded you will be a Long line on the Left Side of the Page with Tabs/Links. Now Scroll down those Main Headings until you get to Configuration which should be the Second Main Title down from the Top.
Now Underneath the Main Heading "Configuration" Should be More Simular Links that you click and will take you to Another Page where you Can Edit You're Fourms.
Scroll Down those Lines of Links until you Find "Legacy Portal Settings" Click that Link.
Now when the Page Opens you Should see a Small Box that says "Enable Portal" Next to it. Tick it.
Now the rest of the Stuff underneath it you Don't really need to Care about AT THIS MOMENT... So Scroll down and click the Save Settings Text Box.
DO NOT CLICK EDIT BLOCK OR ADD BLOCK YET!
Now you Should have in the long line of Clickable Links one saying "Home" NOT THE ONES IN ADMINCP!
Now this is when the Edit and Add Blocks come in. Now Scroll Down to the Bottom where it says Add Block and Type In the Title of the Block you are going to add. Next to that Textbox will be a Text that says Type, Choose the Type of Block you are going to add. Once you have Finished choosing Which Block you want there Should be Another Choosable textbox next to the one you just Finished, it should be saying "Alignment" Now this means where it is going to be Placed as from the Left to the Middle and the Right. Which Ever is you're Choice.
Once you have Finished that Click add Block and then Cheak you're Portal/Home and see if its been Added. Now keep Repeating and experiement with the Different Types of Blocks to Make you're Fourms look Good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to Add a MemberGroup

Okay Open up You're AdminCP/Admin Control Panel and then Scroll down the Main Titles on the left hand Side of the Page... If you don't know which side left is its this side <.<
Now Scroll Down until you Find the main title "Members" and then look under that Main Title and you will Find "MemberGroupds" Click it
Now when the Page Loads you will see a Text Saying "Regular Groupds" Those Groups Are the Staff that you Choose to have on you're Fourms. And the Member Groups "Post Count Based Groups" Are the Groups that are Non Staff but have Small Privilages of Rank. Starts from Newbie and Usually Ends as Hero Member if you Just Created you're Fourms. Now Im going to add a Staff Member Group.
So go back up to Regular Group and then Click "Add Group"
Now when the Page Loads the First thing you Should do is Type in the Members Name.
Now Under that should be the Permissions. Now when you see by type and then the Text Box next to it that has Some Clickable Words in it you are on the Right Track. Now the By Type Means that this Group as Either Standard Permissions which means a Normal Staff Member but Moderator Means it has Privilages to either Lock Topics...Ban Users...Warn Users...Moderate Users and such.
Now Choose one of those from either the By Type or Based off of box.
Now Under it will be Visible Boards, this means that if you untick a Box with the Word Server Downloads that means that Group Cannot View that Section of the Boards but if you Tick it then they are able to.
Once you have Finished that Click "Add Group" and then Start Adding people to the Group

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Info:
A Block is much like a Widget that you can Play Around with or View.
Permissions are Privilages that people are given and may just be given for a Better look
A Portal is just the Fancy Word for Home
The AdminCP is another word for The Admin Tab or Admin Control Panel
Italy Pizza is way Different to New Zealand Pizza

I deleted the url for the base default smilies and need a tutorial to add new ones ..

If you need to put your base url back in:
Use http://text.smfforfree.com/Smileys for the base url.
NOTE Replace text.smfforfree.com with YOUR forums url.

This guide will show you how to "replace" the existing smileys on your forum.
How to replace your Smileys

Or purchase the Custom Smiley Upgrade - you can then upload your own smileys
Admin > Adfree & Upgrades
After purchasing there is a Guide to help you here: Custom Smileys Help

Check here Guides & Tutorials Index when looking for Tutorials (links pinned to the top of the Guides and Tutorials Board)
