I am not sure how I shall go about sharing it on here as well. I could do a bulletin? Or post on a forum?
Atm I am setting it all up in a sta.sh file and when it's more complete I'll submit as a DA journal. So right now, general public eyes can't see it, unless they across this post to see the link, which you can take a look if you'd like.
But I'll be sure to reach out to ya all the same when it is done~ =3
I think making a forum post would be good! That way more people could see it + they could ask question and others can add things you may have missed :> Though it's up to you in the end! Wherever you post it I'm sure it'll be handy
The sta.sh file is looking good so far! (Also I go by them/them pronouns and yeah my images are 50x50!) Here's a few more things I think might be good on there:
- folder descriptions, they're not super obvious in settings
- trading and selling tags
- worlds and what you can do with them
- spoiler boxes + spoiler text (also a warning to consider themes when doing spoiler text since bg color and text color changed and things may become visible when you don't want them to be or the other way around)
- also a reminder to consider themes on character profiles to makes sure people don't have to highlight all the font to read it
- what exactly premium membership gives you (I've seen a few threads where people are confused about it)
- links maybe?
- how to ping
and that's all I can think of right off the top of my head but I'll let you know if I have more ideas. Some of these things are in other guides already (like the newcomers guide and introduction board) and it might be also be a good idea to link to them instead of writing it all out again.
I have removed the pronouns so nothing is there for anyone. :3 As far as where to post it, if i was to post it onto a forum here - it would be just a LINK to the DA upload. I do not think I'd be able to just copy-paste all the sizing/links that I have going there onto here without a full rewrite. ^^; If this place has the preview option for when writing things that would be a bit different but alas it does not (nor an auto-save). :c
The idea behind this isn't to do what is already out there so I won't be taking from others, but mostly what I've discovered that isn't commonly known to try to help awareness. The goal is to help folks enjoy the place more once they see just how much control they have! Many of the features I plan to cover, a lot of folks don't do and many I've learned didn't even know you could! It's this stuff is what I hope to cover, not the basics most can learn on their own.
Onto your sections..
- folder descriptions, they're not super obvious in settings
I forgot all about that haha. But yes, I like this one. I will add this to the list for sure.
- trading and selling tags
Also something I have not done, have no need for. So if I was to, I'd have to study it first. But I'll take it into consideration. :3
- worlds and what you can do with them
I don't even use these myself so my own knowledge is slim thus I don't think I can really do proper justice on this area. Maybe one day if I have a reason to use it that may change but I don't see that anytime soon.
- spoiler boxes + spoiler text (also a warning to consider themes when doing spoiler text since bg color and text color changed and things may become visible when you don't want them to be or the other way around)
I don't really use this feature either so not sure if I'd do it enough justice. ;p
- also a reminder to consider themes on character profiles to makes sure people don't have to highlight all the font to read it
Are you meaning you want folks to try to consider the colors they use for their theme/layouts? xD Because that is a personal preference.. I have no say on what folks want to do. ;p
- what exactly premium membership gives you (I've seen a few threads where people are confused about it)
I don't see a need for this and why folks would be confused because the site already shares that quite simply too. https://toyhou.se/~premium it shares things on the bottom right. Not really sure what else you'd want? o_O
- links maybe?
what exactly you wanting? Like how to MAKE a link?? I already plan to have links added to share the resources that I find useful, for free and premium members alike. ;)
I may have misunderstood the purpose of your guide aha, if it's just stuff you like to use and want to share with others that makes sense too. Sorry if I had too much stuff! This was mostly just what I thought up off the top of my head and of course you don't have to put any of it in if you don't want! (Some notes of what you said though, I don't mean you should be telling people what to do with their profiles, of course not! I just think some people don't realize that their profiles are illegible on other themes but whether they choose to change it or not is up to them of course. And by links I mean links between characters not the things you click to take you somewhere else :>)
I noticed that you do in fact make use of the folder descriptions so I'll be using you for that sample as well since I have not bothered doing that to any of my own yet, though I should. xD

I don't feel this is necessary, as it is already on toyhouse's own, although short, guide - https://toyhou.se/~faq/general and this person included it in theirs as well - https://toyhou.se/~forums/11.general/14896.a-newcomer-s-guide-introduction-board
But thank you for the thoughts!
