Wow, lots of new faces. Welcome!!!

Hi Peredhil
If you click on My Account over to the left, you will find a link at the top that says Website Guide. You will find the directions in there.

I am glad you started the New Year out with us, Irena. And that I was in the chat room to talk to you.
Welcome to you too, katakutur. Irena has very kindly answered your question so I hope that we will be seeing lots of you in the forums. Drop in for a chat sometime too.

be welcome katakutur.....i asked the same once and i am still looking for an upgrade.....but someday there in year 2030 i will get the:" not-too-stranger" grade

welcome peredhil, i hope that on time you will think on this place as a second home...and it is even better, because there are no fights about who plays music,or which program do we see....(you all know....,little brother´s stuff.... ).....,because i think every one is in the same frecuency.....


so ....., be free to hang around whenever you want to.....

Thanx Plastic,,,
I accually realized that after i posted that,,, oh well,,, thanx alot anyways

Hey Littleirena the skwerl will get you if he see's that you have a smiley in your signature!

Fair enough!

Smilies, bold, underlined and italic text, URL's and more than 3 lines including spaces in the signature use up extra bandwidith. We have so much bandwidth allotted to Planet-Tolkien through our webserver and if we go over that amount then it costs Taz extra money.

I'm extreemely sorry sorry sorry, it must have been one off the old posts, 'cause there is no more smilley there.

Sorry for that- that's all, sorry sorry.

Yes, congratulations on becoming a Friend Irena!

Breath Tom, breath....

Yes of course, Thingol, and that's the main thing. PT's moving, growing, going somewhere. There was a time when nothing was happening, and when all you could do was read your own old boring posts over and over again. lol

Thank God that's over. Thanks to all the newbies, and I do hope you stay around a bit longer. Because this is a place to stay.

Yes, we certainly love to see PT grow the way it is. It makes it so interesting. Welcome to any new members that I have not greeted in a while. Have fun, join chat and any of our other wondeful things to here.

The Council Members are the ones who use the moderator controls to 'top' certain threads (make them always be at the top of the forum regardless of the date of their last post). The decision to top a thread usually depends on whether or not the thread is about something important or urgent.

However, in the taverns we have topped a group of threads to make it easier to find which one of the group your post might belong, rather than having to hunt through many pages of threads to see if there is s bettter place to put it. This is most apparent in the Ivy Bush (games) and Green Dragon quotes).

I hope this will help unmuddy the water for you.

Umm, I'm new here and I'm totally lost! HELP! if have any info. plz email me @ nimrondel_06@hotmail.com.


PS: my real nickname is Rohonallien. Don't ask.

Welcome to PT Lady of Luthien! I hope you have a wonderful time here.
What exactly do you have trouble with? I can see you know how to work the forums. Anyway, ask us your questions and we'd be pleased to help.

ok, so here I am, after 6 months with PT, posting my first question in the newbies thread.

How can I submit news? I've been looking and looking, but I can't find it. Does this mean that only council members can submit news? I've got an excellent piece on the extended TTT dvd...
Sure, it's gotta have a red, big, blinking sign that says: SPOILER ALERT! But I'm more than happy to have found it anyway.

Hi Idril,. Welcome to Planet Tolkien. Don't worry about being a Newbie. Even Grondy was one once (back in the First Age probably )

I think the best advice I can give you at the moment is to visit our guide.

On the left menu bar, almost at the top you will see a link called My Account. If you click on there, you will go to a page where among other options you will see another link called Website Help .

That will take you to a guide we wrote for new members like yourself, to help you navigate yourself around the site. It is possibly becoming a little dated now because none of us have had time to regularly update it, but most of it still holds true. If you take ten minutes to run through it, I'm sure it will prove a great help to you.
By this, I assume you mean how do you know where to place your new thread rather than how do you physically start one? If I'm wrong, and you want to know the latter, the guide will tell you.

With regards to knowing where a new thread should go, it's just a matter of common sense really. If its book related or film related, they each have their own sections. If it's more specifically about a character or place, they have their own sections too. Other sections include threads concerning the site specifically, and JRR Tolkien himself. The Guilds are sections specific to certain interests such as writing or photography etc. If it is a topic bout anything else (particularly non Tolkien related), place it in one of the taverns which are open to a full range of discussions. Please bear in mind though that we have a total ban on topics discussing Sex, Religion and Politics, unless they have a direct bearing on Tolkien's works.

Hope that is of some help.

hello i am new to PT and it is great to be a part of it. i was wondering where to find avatars and if there were any specific pixels we cant use and such... also when i try to enter the chat room, the applet starts, but it says that it is unable to establish a connection with server... am i doing something wrong???

and to get your 70x70 pixels .gif avatar up you go to "your account - edit profile" and just upload it yourself. :-)
oh and btw, the avatar-file shouldn't be more than 8kb (which shouldn't be a problem using .gif)

Hey there Ainulindhe :wave:
Welcome to PT.
I noticed that you attempted to join the chatroom twice tonight. To "speak", you just type the message in the message box at the bottom (curser should be in the box) then hit enter. You cannot go into any other part of the website while you are in the chatroom or you will lose your connection. If you want to multitask, you have to open another Internet Explorer/Planet-tolkien window. Sometimes you have to stay in the chatroom for a few minutes before anyone will respond and you do have to "speak" so that my screen will flash. I may be checking out the forums and will not know that someone has joined the chatroom.
I hope this is of some help.

If somebody is put on a buddy-list, do they know about it? Or is it just so you can more easily talk to the people you want to talk to?

Hi, i am new to this site and i was wondering : where's the bathroom?

In your left shoe.
