Okay. How to explain this in the simplest manner possible.

OPTION 1:

  • Open a posting window like you would to any thread to which you want to post.  Rich Text Editor should automatically be displayed.
  • Organize and modify the data as you wish it displayed FOR EACH ONE of the data entry fields (Name, Class/Level/Alignment, etc.).
  • Add in your pictures and organize them as you see fit.
  • When ready, click the 'Use HTML to create your page'.  Take all the HTML coding and ensure it runs all together in one continuous line without any breaks.
  • Select all [Ctrl+A], Copy [Ctrl+C] and paste [Ctrl+V] the HTML coding into the specific data field.
  • Save your Character Data.
  • Review your Character Information for accuracy and repeat the above steps as necessary.
    • Nice to know stuff:  Ctrl+Z = UNDO!!!  Ctrl+Y = REDO!!!]

    OPTION 2
    :
  • Highlight one of the characters you like, copy and paste it into an EMAIL message window. 
  • Begin changing the data to reflect the information for YOUR character.
  • Send it to yourself so you have a copy saved to your EMAIL account. 
  • If you desire to put it in Friends and Family, open up your EMAILED character, right click on the page, and then click on VIEW SOURCE for Internet Explorer.  This give you all the HTML formatting data for the PAGE and more IMPORTANTLY YOUR CHARACTER.
  • Scroll down the page until you find the NAME of your character and start copy and pasting all the HTML coding data into the Friends and Family fields.


    NOTE:  When you first save your character into the PC/NPC database here at Elmshade, this automatically creates a single page for your character, which you can find by clicking on the LAST name on the Character Listing page, and then by clicking the NEXT link (upper right hand corner).  The Character Listing page is manually updated by the managers of Elmshade.  Now while we, the managment, are omnipotent (all powerful -- jk), we, the management, are NOT omniscient (all knowing).  That means, unless you tell us you've added a character, it will be discovery learning for us when we get the weekly site update telling us the database has been updated.  So please drop us an email, and we'll fix you up with your own character link.

    Good Luck
    Any questions, email them to Hi'el Troiye or Reyco Asdwon
