Forum Search Tips Close

Basics

  1. Search syntax is similar to Google searches.
  2. Words shorter than 4 characters are ignored.
  3. Searches are NOT case-sensitive.
  4. Automatic 'and' queries: The search will only return pages that include all of your search terms.
  5. Only the body of the post is searched by default. Use the Advanced search to also search by subject.
  6. Word variation/stemming is currently not supported. For example, if you search for acting or acted, the search will not return results for act.

Phrase Searches

Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. E.g. "cool video games"

Negative Terms

If your search term has more than one meaning (bass, for example, could refer to fishing or music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but not bass-heavy music: bass -music

    Everything you would need for Mission Nine

    For this mission members of the hokages room will need to make a banner 375 x 75.Not all members have image editing programs or know hot to make banners.Here ill give you links to programs,tutorials and more so you can make a banner or sig.

    Programs 

    -Gimp - Gimp is a free image editing program. If you dont have photoshop its a great start because it can do most of the stuff photoshop can

    http://www.gimp.org/<---Download Gimp here 

    -Photoshop - Photoshop is the probably the best image editing program out there. Its expensive but there are free trails on the adobe website. There are different versions of photoshop all basically the same. Photoshop can be hard to understand but gets easier with time.

    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/<---Download Different Photoshop Versions Here 

    -PhotoFiltre - Photofiltre is basically a fancy version of MS paint. Althought not as useful as gimp it doesnt take up much space on your computer and it can be used to make simple banners. If you dont want to take up any space download the french zip file. If you know your way around paint then it should still be easy in the french version.

     URGGGGGHHH! My computer won't download it and to do so it would be pointless! My locally stored profile thing doesn't pop-up, so things we save onto our computer don't stay forever. Is their a website we can make banners on?

    Don't you have MS Paint? Maybe the tutorial should focus on that since everybody should have that.
