I am not entirely sure if this the right place to post about this, but here goes anyway...

For those who find themselves slightly (or considerably more than slightly) clueless about where to get started after getting a hosting account, here is an user guide that might potentially help you out. I wrote it out of three hours, so forgive me if it's clumsy, but I'm hoping that a few people here may find it useful.

Feedback is greatly appreciated

I'm planning to build on a FAQ eventually, based on the questions that are asked most by people around here.

Cheerio!

WOW! Awesome job.

It should be required reading for all the new members and particularly newly Hosted members should get some good assistance from that Guide you have created.

I highly reccomend that the Admins should Pin this topic.

jlhaslip: Thank you very much! I really appreciate your spending the time to read and respond - and it means a lot to meh. I guess the recommendation did get it pinned, and BH placed a link to this thread in the main readme. Thank you again.

You just click the Quote button again after you have finished typing. Alternatively, type the closing tag yourself. This works for any tag that you open:

Quote

[TAG]Stuff the tag is applied to[/TAG]

Any tag can be closed if you type the tag again, but with a forward slash before the tag name (the word in the square brackets).

Houston we have a problem:
This domain name expired on Jun 28, 2008. Click here to renew it.

[serverph]

nice catch, ajant. i haven't found any cache via google or via the way-back-machine at archive.org to link to either, so it's a lost cause. as the site linked is now dead, we close this thread.

i will simply refer beginners to trap17 to know more about our forums and the system we have for hosting via our trusty README: http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?act...E=01&HID=18
