-Webkinz Central Official Guide-

Posting a Message

Posting a message is pretty simple.

First, you click on a thread. Then you find a message you would like to reply to. Then you click on 'quote'. The quote tab is on the top left next to the Edit tab.

Second, you type the subject of your post. Then you type your message and click 'send'. The send tab is below. If you want to check your work click the tab 'preview'. When you click on 'preview' it shows you the work you have done so far. If you are happy with your work click on 'send'.

If you forgot to click on the tab 'preview', just click on 'edit'. It will get you right back to your post.

You can also add smileys to your posts.

Making an Avatar

First, go to 'profile'. The profile button is on the top next to Usergroups. Then open up another Internet Explorer. Then you can search for an avatar. When you've found the perfect one, save it. You can paste the IMG code, upload the avatar from an URL, or just copy and paste the link from the site. After you pick one, the avatar should appear after you click on the tab 'save'.

Making a Signature

You do the same thing with your signature, but instead of clicking on avatar when your in your profile, click signature.

Making a Poll

First, you make a thread. Then you click add poll (click on the little sign). Type your question in the box. Then, you start adding options. Make sure to skip at least ONE line after each option. When you are finished click the tab send. And wa-la, your poll should appear on the top of your post!

Making a PM (or private message)

Click on the button that says 'Private Messages' or "New Private Message" on the top of your screen. It's below Webkinz Central. When you get to your inbox, click on 'new post'. Then type in the username you would like to send your message to. Also put the subject of your message. When you finished typing your message, click 'preview' just incase you need to change something. When you are happy with your PM, click the tab 'send'.

Question: What does PM mean?
Answer:

PM means "Private Message". These are messages that you can send to another member. I don't think even Kathy can see these messages... The only way someone else would be able to see your conversation if you quote the person's words and send it to another person. That would be violating their privacy though. So...Kathy is expecting people to be mature and not talk about inappropriate topics. If someone is:

1. Asking/Giving away personal information.

2. Asking for your Webkinz user-name, password, and secret code (people do this to hack). Usually the hacker says that they are just going to "baby-sit" your Webkinz, but they're actually going to steal all your stuff. If the person wants to add you onto their Webkinz World friend list, it's fine to ask for just user-names.

3. Talking about an inappropriate subject.

4. Making fun of a member or yourself.

5. Tries to persuade you into doing a Kinz Post trade through PMs. This means that they try to trade with you by exchanging items through Kinz Post. This is dangerous and isn't safe, because it isn't in the Trading Section and moderators cannot watch the trade.

or breaking the rules in any other way, alert a moderator/administrator immediately. Please, include the message (as evidence) too.

Question: Who should I contact for help?

Answer: If you need help, post your question or you can pm someone. WC Members, Admins, Moderators, and I will be glad to answer your questions.

Question: How can I tell who's in a usergroup?


Answer:

Founder: Purple/
Admin: Green/
Moderator: Blue/

Update: We now have status bars. For now on the highest rank will be shown above your avatar.


NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT PRINT IN FIRE ENGINE RED OR ROYAL BLUE INK. MODERATORS AND ADMINS EDIT POSTS WITH THESE 2 COLORS.
OTHER BLUE OR RED SHADES ARE FINE.

You can also tell by clicking on 'Usergroups'.

Question: How do I change my username?
Answer:

You can't change your username by going to 'profile'. You need to PM me the username you want to change your's to. I will either approve or disapprove the request. If it is approved, I will change your username. If your request has been approved, that means the username you wanted is appropiate. If your request has been disapproved, the username you wanted is inappropriate.

If you need any help, contact a moderator, administrator, or me. :D
