Hints & How-to's...

Editing your Tribe Affiliation (or any other account properties):
  1. Log into the site.
  2. In the menu at the left, click "My Account".
  3. At the top of your account when it pops-up, click the "Edit" tab.
  4. In the second row of tabs that appears, click "Personal Information".
  5. Scroll down to the property called "Primary Tribe Affiliation (If Any)".
  6. Choose the appropriate tribe from the drop-down list.
  7. Scroll ALL the way down and click the "Save" button. This step is VERY important if you don't want to have to repeat the process
Sticking your pin in the User Map:
  1. Complete steps 1 through 4 above.
  2. Scroll down to the word "Locations" in blue in the center of the page and click it.
  3. When the map appears, you can slide it around and zoom in and out to find your location, then just click the spot to stick your pin. Did it wrong? Just click again in the right spot. It only remembers your last click.
  4. Give the location a name like "Home" or "Secret Lair" & fill in any other details you want. You can create up to 3 different locations... (Summer, Winter, Armageddon, etc.)
  5. Scroll ALL the way down and click the "Save" button. This step is VERY important if you don't want to have to repeat the process

Note: You can also manually enter the latitude & longitude after using a GPS or a web-site like https://stevemorse.org/jcal/latlon.php to find them. I often find this simpler than drilloing down manually all over the world.

Creating Your Tribe Homepage & Inviting Your Adventurers:
  1. Log into the site.
  2. Open Create Your Tribe.
  3. If desired, click the "Location" link to expand it and fill in some or all the information for your Tribe to appear on maps and be searchable by location. (Be prepared for intersting people you haven't met to contact you!)
  4. If desired, click the "Browse" button to choose an image for your Tribe logo. I recommend sticking with something small, say 150 x 150, to conserve real-estate on the screen.
  5. Choose your Tribe Number from the drop-down list. If your number doesn't appear and you have registered as a Tribe-Leader from the Registration Page, please contact me: [email protected]. Be careful, as this number is used for the path to your documents, so it NEEDS to be correct!
  6. Fill in your city, choose a sstate, and fill in the "Tribe Name" & "Description". Tribe Name should only include the actual name, such as "Fighting Pelicans" or "The Poor Judgement Crew", and not the word "Tribe" or tribe number.
  7. Check the "List in Directory" box, but leave the "Registration Form" & "Private" boxes alone.
  8. Create your "Mission Statement".
  9. Decide whether to check "Moderated" or "Invitation Only" box. I do not recommend "Open" - but it's really up to you. Do not choose "Closed".
  10. Scroll to the bottom of the page & click the "Preview" button.
  11. When the preview is displayed, verify that you're happy with the results. You can edit the page again later if you want, so it doesn't need to be perfect.
  12. If desired, edit the page again & click "Preview" at the bottom. You can do this until you are happy with the page.
  13. Finally, click "Save".
  14. You will be taken to your new Tribe Homepage. From there, explore the tabs at the top & links on the left. You can invite Adventurers, create Adventure pages, and more. If you want a Tribe Gallery & need help creating it, juct message me (bernie.deschanes) from the "Communicator" links at the left. You can also invite your Adventurers to your new Adventures (outings, parties, conventions, what have you) from those pages when you create them. You have your own discussion forums as well. Again, contact me if you need a little help getting started. It's all pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it.
  15. Enjoy & be proud!
