Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey! Guys! Check it out! It' me Versi Crestfold! That's a lot of Exclamation Points!

Okay, now that the introduction is out of the way-I need to tell you people something important. Something YOU ALL[maybe not all] NEED TO START DOING. If you make an Rp outside the thread-and you have a link to it, here are some things that will help:

-*-MOST IMPORTANT!: There's a sticky, right in this very forum! It's called the "Advertise Here" Thread. Now I know it's very tiresome, to look down the list-and move your mouse ever so slightly to click on it. Well...Do it. That's what it's there for.

-This isn't really that important, but it helps make your post look cleaner. There is a way to get a link into a group of words, instead of that long Http link. This is what it looks like: Exclamation Point!...Now! Here's what Http looks like: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=1072
Doesn't the Link inside the words look better? Yes? Then let me tell you how to do it.

1) Copy the link from the Address bar on your browser.

2) Type: ...Insert the name of the address after you type the equal sign. Remember to close it up!

3)Then, Right after that ^. Type whatever word or words you want the link to be present in.

4) Very important, make sure after you finish typing the phrase you want-to close the URL link with this: . Exactly like that.

Here's what it should look like, but with an address instead of "!":

[url=!]Exclamation Point![/url]

So-if you have any questions feel free to PM me!
Now I'm going to give the people who have a hard time spelling-an edge!
Using that method I just taught you-I'm going to direct you to one or two, in-browser spell-checkers. What do they do? Well, they check you're spelling-by underlining words that they think are wrong. They also give some suggestions into what it thinks the word you're thinking of is.
So here you go my friends! Two links:

-Google Toolbar for Firefox ((P.S. This gives you a toolbar with many things-to do with Google, it also gives you a Spell Checker-It's completely free and easy to use.))((P.P.S If you want Firefox go here))

-ieSpell ((P.S. This one is for Internet Explorer))((P.P.S. I don't use this one, because I have Firefox. Though, it IS a very good choice, free and easy to use-comes up #1 on my I.E. list.))

If you have browsers like Opera, Netscape, or Avant-I can't help you there. Though! my awesome searching abilities have granted me the gift of Giving other people who want a new browser a choice.

Here you can find dozens of free browsers-meant to fit your needs. Just look over each one-learn more about it, then you can be on your way to browsing...in style cool .

The only REAL alternatives are Firefox, and Opera-others are I.E. embedded browsers[and as such-I don't know how ieSpell works with them]

If you have ANY questions-PM me, I'll try to answer them as best as I can.
For now[unless SDRP says..] this thread is locked-zorz!

Bah-Humbug! Why won't you people let them read! It's a good exercise. gonk Thanks though. I'll put it up there..Lazy raggamuffins...

A note on the spell checkers...
While it may correct a word that's wrong, it may not pick up on grammar. You still need to look for you're in the place of your and homonyms like that. It's spelled correctly, so the spell checker might think it's right, but it's still entirely possible to use a word in the wrong place and think it's right, so keep an eye out for that.
(And I use the Google toolbar, so I can say for sure that it ignores grammar... But I don't know for sure about the others)

There is one more. Mozilla Firefox has an automatic spell checker.

umm hmm. i havent seen any active topics... or boards...umm i am bored now...

((Not sure if this is where I'm actually supposed to ADVERVISE but...))

GAIA's HATRED: A EVENT GUILD!

We are a battle guild focused on fighting and other things, such as discussion and art. Currently, we are accepting applications for active members who wish to RP when the new event forum becomes active.
We are also accepting applications for those who wish to rp passively in random Rp's we hold. Note that a sense of grammer and a general sense of kindness to others is treasured at the guild. Also note, the guild is an EVIL guild, so you can't go using a goody-two shoes character here. Please join the first event guild and show off your hatred against the Vol Helson Sisters today!
