Hey there koori, and welcome to ats.
WA seems like a beautiful place, with lots of surf, but for now I think I like the Vicco coast, even if it did freeze my toes off yesterday (almost
literally).
Anyways, if you're wanting to get around ats like an old pro, good luck. It's a big place, very confusing, and all of the members hate n00bs from
Perth in particular, so good luck mate. But here's a little guide to help you:
First off, you want to go to the ATS help files. Just about everything you would ever want to know is here:
ATS Help Files. Go through everything there I say. Start with clicking the Quick Guide up the top.
The
AboveTopSecret main page has most of the stuff you would probably want to read, there being around
50 forums on about
anything you'd ever want to discuss, such as
9/11 & 7/7
Conspiracies,
Aliens & UFOs,
Secret Societies,
Weaponry,
Space
Exploration, and even
Mythical Beasts.
In addition,
BelowTopSecret has a lot of stuff as well, such as the
Dreams & Personal Predictions thread, as well as discussions on
Movies,
Music,
Literature, and
Computer Help. It is
used for the more off topic stuff.
The other one,
Politics@ATS, is a place to discuss politics (as political discussions are not allowed
on ATS because they usually become heated).
On the main ATS page, there are a number of features you can use to help with browsing around the site, like the
New Posts button, which lists all recent posts on the board, or the
myATS page, which shows you all the recent threads you have posted in, as well as a snapshot
view of any forums you are interested in. If you want to add or change these subscribed forums, click the circled button:
Click Image to Expand:
The list down the side is all my subscribed
threads. It shows who last posted as well.
If you want advice or are confused about something, feel free to post in the
Board Questions
& Business thread, email me at
this address, or send a User2User message to one of the moderators
from your
Member Centre page. To see a list of all the mods, go to the
ATS mainpage and scroll down. Towards the bottom and to the left there is a list titled
'AboveTopSecret.com Staff'. You can send a U2U to anyone listed there even if you do not have the mandatory 20 posts.
This
here is a great post explaining how to get the little image under your name on
ATS as well (be warned, the graphics need an update!).
Remember, any problems and you're more than welcome to email me.
Hope to see you round!
