Dark: Clarified Joining a New Usergroup

== Registration ==

Although anyone can create a forum account. Signing up to the forums does '''NOT''' make you a TNGC member. That is only official once you join a Usergroup.
* First you need to create an account (NOTE: This account will also be used to access the TNGC portal). To do this click [http://www.thetngc.org.uk/forums/profile.php?mode=register '''here''']. Make a note of the '''VIP Code'''. Fill in the form then submit your account details. You will receive an E-mail within a few minutes. Click the link in that E-mail and your account will become active.
==Applying for Membership in a Usergroup==
# The Second step is to '''apply for membership in a Usergroup.''' Each Usergroup is run by a Divisional Leader and gives access rights to different sections on the forums.
## Click the '''Usergroup''' link in the forum menu.
## Under ''Join A Group'' select the group you wish to join and click '''View Information'''
## In the ''Group Information'' box click '''Join Group'''
# Next you will need to wait for your Divisional Leader to approve your request. Should be within the day.
As soon as you get access to the forums you can now post. Welcome to the forums! Don't forget to check the rest of this page for more information about using the forums.

Should you find your request to join a Usergroup and Access the rest of the forums has gone unanswered. Contact the relevant Divisional Leader (Eg, Killerwolf for Nemetos Order) in game or post in the [http://www.thetngc.org.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=7 Help and Support] section of the forums listing;

* Who recruited you (if applicable):
* Username registering on forum:
* Division joined:
* In-game name:

== Ranks ==

Each forum rank requires a specific amount of posts to achieve that rank. The Requirements are;

* Warrior = 1+ posts
* Point Commander = 25+ posts
* Star Commander = 100+ posts
* Star Captain = 500+ posts
* Star Colonel = 1000+ posts
* Galaxy Commander = ''Unknown'' posts
* Sakhan = ''Unknown'' posts
* Khan = ''Unknown'' posts

When you reach the milesstone for a higher rank you are automatically promoted. The names of the Ranks are taken from the Clan Ranking system in the Battletech Universe that [[Clan Diamond Wolf]] immersed itself in.

There are several custom ranks which people have that override these ranks. The custom ranks are given to people who have a particular role in the community and others who have had funny custom ranks added without their knowledge :)

== Signatures ==

One of the most popular features of any forums is the use of signatures, especially ones which give details about your character from your favourite game.

=== Nemetos Order Signatures ===

[http://nemetos.thetngc.org.uk/wowroster/index.php WoWroster] allows you to view details about your character and the guild from our website by uploading data gathered by a UI mod. As well as generate signature images like the ones used by some members already. Please note that the automatic update feature doesn't work right now so use these instructions to update manually.

'''Instructions'''
# First download Characterprofiler from our website >> http://downloads.thetngc.org.uk/wow/ Note: You must use the latest version posted in our downloads section. No other one will work.
# Next install Characterprofiler like any other mod and run WoW. It will automatically start gathering information about your character from your bank to your spellbook next time you open them.
# Lastly visit the update profile page at http://nemetos.thetngc.org.uk/wowroster/update.php You only need to fill in the first box. PvPlog data is optional and the password box is only for Admins.

'''Adding Avatar & Signatures'''

To show your WoW Avatar goto [http://www.thetngc.org.uk/forums/profile.php?mode=editprofile your forum profile] and use the ''link to off site avatar'' in the format
<nowiki>[code]http://nemetos.thetngc.org.uk/wowroster/addons/siggen/av.php/Irricas.png[/code]</nowiki>
which gives:
http://nemetos.thetngc.org.uk/wowroster/addons/siggen/av.php/Irricas.png

For your signature goto your profile again and add the following in the Signature box
<nowiki>[code][img]http://nemetos.thetngc.org.uk/wowroster/addons/siggen/sig.php/Irricas.png[/img][/code]</nowiki>
to give:
http://nemetos.thetngc.org.uk/wowroster/addons/siggen/sig.php/Irricas.png

Obviously you need to replace my characters name with yours :)

Tip: If you want to customize the background for your Avatar or signature image. Feel free to ask on the [http://www.thetngc.org.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=7 Help & Support] section on the forum. You'll need a PNG file with the same dimensions for the new background to work.

Dark: Clarified Joining a New Usergroup

== Welcome! ==

At first joining the Community may seem a little confusing with all the talk of different [[:Category:Divisions|Divisions]], [[Forums]], [[Teamspeak]] and everything else people keep mentioning. The idea of this Guide is to breakdown everything you need to do to make the most of your membership to the Community. Each task has been split up. You should complete each task then come back to this guide to complete the next stage. Some tasks are shown as optional. These don't need to be completed but will help greatly in improving your experience in the community.

Once again Welcome to the Community! The first section below covered the general tasks anyone joining needs to complete. The other sections are split up into what exactly you need to do for the Division of the Community you are joining. Make sure you complete all relevant sections to avoid any problems. Should you need any questions answering, ask a member of the Community or visit the [http://www.thetngc.org.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=7 Help and Support] section of our forums.

=== Community ===

# [[Forums]] - Our Forums are your first stop. Cannot stress how important forum registration is. The forums are the Centre of the Community. They are how we stay in contact with all our members.
'''Make sure you join a Usergroup (Instructions [http://www.thetngc.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Forums here]) or you won't be able to browse the member section of the Forums.'''
# [[Teamspeak]] - Communication is a very high priority in the Community. Teamspeak has proven an invaluable tool in coordinating in-game and just having somewhere to chat.
# [[Code of Conduct]] - If you haven't already make sure you read through the Code of Conduct. The aim of the document is to keep everything running smoothly in the Community.

=== Nemetos Order ===

# [[DKP Guide]] - Understanding the DKP system is very important for all members who want to raid. Make sure you read it carefully as there is limited time in Raids and that can't be spent explaining the DKP system.
# [[Raid Requirements]] - Before you can Raid you need to make sure you meet all prerequisites for your class. Being prepared will make Raiding much more fun!
# [[Raid Equipment]] - What you bring to a Raid decides if its a success or failure. Make sure you have the right gear!
# http://www.ctprofiles.net/ ''Optional'' - Many of the Guild find this website exceptionally useful for planning what gear they want to get with what enchants. It allows you to pick whatever item you want and calculates how this effects your character. Very useful tool. A section for the Guild has been setup. Once you have created your profile ask a Guild member for the password to join.
# [[UI Mods]] - This page contains a mix of mods you must get as well as some recommendation for mods you'll also find useful. Be sure to get the correct mods or you won't be able to join raids without them.

Now that you have completed this Guide and got yourself all signed up. You may want to take the [[Tour]] of the Community to learn a little more about exactly what you have joined.
