I think that a tutorial on like post styles and stuff but I don't know about anyone else but I have no idea how to make them. A totorial on how to make them would be awesome!

A preview would be great!!

Hi Gaians all over the world!,

We're in the process of designing and building an all-new Help Center to replace out the dated FAQs section of the site. This Help Center should help you learn more about the site and help you have more fun since it'll not only contain new FAQs but also a new searchable knowledge base and video tutorials on "how to do ___ on Gaia."

What else would you like to see in the new Help Center?

Would you like to see a "sneak preview" of it if we can arrange it?

Let me know here!

Like pretty much everyone so far, I believe that a video explaining the gold system, the rules, gaia cash, marketplace and forums as a base tutorial should be good. But to help even more, the explaination of games, how to get gold easily, the features of gaia and other things (if you have an idea) would also help more advanced gaians in search for information. I myself had trouble with finding my way on gaia at first, but I don't wish that to happen to new players.

[feline_friend_of_cats]

i've been on gaia for a little more than a year
and when i started out, i had to call my friend and ask her what to do
i think this is a great idea, and i cant think of anything else that you could add that people havent said yet
and a preview would be great
whee

[confused_lil_azn]

A virtual tour of Gaia... That would be nice for new-comers

[Queen Isabel]

.:: A help center is a great idea! I think that maybe there should be links posted on hard-to-find areas in Gaia. This is just a suggestion, so I'm not sure if it's a great idea. A preview would be nice though. ::.

[ice gangster]

[cookie_raineil]

[demon hidan]

MY FIRST FIRST PAGE! : DD
When i started gaia i was pretty confused. i asked people where they got their items from and i did not know what marketplace was.I think you should put in a tutorial of how to get gold.Because a bunch of new gaians keep on asking me.and also..you should add where is the appropriate place to post stuff like in the mtv hills fourm there were a bunch of new gaians posting please donate.or stuff for sale.
AND PREVIEW PLEASE :]

How about a more detailed explanation as to what you CAN report? For example, I knew a user who has been on Gaia for YEARS, but still thinks hit-and-run posts in a discussion topic are a reportable offense (i.e., the poster comes in, explains their opinion, and does not stay for debate.) >_>

In addition, I think a more detailed explanation of guilds and its uses would be wonderful. Such as emphasizing on the fact that it is a user-managed forum community that can be on any subject, run by rules determined by the captain. It's one of the most useful features on Gaia if you ask me, yet so many new users are confused by why their exist and what the benefits of owning one are.

Suggestions on good places to start out would be a nice addition as well. I find that many new users become most comfortable in Friends Chat, Gaia Commerce, and the GD. It would also be a great way to reinforce the rules, since while introducing the subforums, you could detail some of the commonly broken ones.

Also, another neat additive could be a walk through of Customizing Your Gaia World. You could outline some easy ways to edit your profile to match your personality (as well as link to the Profile Discussion subforum), go on to detail signatures and their rules (maybe plug Photobucket and the Personal Graphics subforum), talk about coding your posts, and also throw in some more information on making hangouts in Friends Chat, creating and advertising a guild, setting up and decorating your house, etc. All applicable subforums could be listed to help new Gaians seek help.

Also, preview please! ^_^
