Need Help with a new forum

[Dancing Bear]

I was going to keep this away from here ..
As I have not finished the forum and it has been created to help me with feedback from the readings I do in my website and the forums i belong.. another company had a limited amount of posts which was no good to me, so I have gone to proboards who do forums..

I am not aiming for it to be massive as i have not the time... and Other Worlds is my home away from home...

What i do need is some help organising it and adding images and just in general a helping hand with some of the terms, adding a choice of avatars, and smilies. etc....as it will not be a big forum i only need to add a few choices, and i think the general boards i have will be quite sufficent, I think my colourings need a bit of tweeking etc....
I have been into proboard support forum but I am still a little stuck..


I know a few of you are running Proboards forums and i was wondering if you are able to give me a helping hand with mine.. PLEASE!!! *grovelling on knees*
Any bit of information you can share will be greatly appreciated...

OK I need help in these areas

Where you have Other Worlds news Lilac How do I create that?
Whats the best site for free banners? I have created my own which i quite like now with a bear , the last one was an experiment.. as is the entire Forum.. as I really do not intend it to be a forum like this one as such it is just an extension to my website..
Also with Admin and Moderators I have created the Groups how do i add the members to the groups?
Also how do I Add buttons down the left side?
Also I have a website i have been using for the hex colour codes but it is limited to certain tones and hues, Do you know of a better site?

html-color-codes.com/


I know I am asking lots Lilac or anyone else out there that can help me!
Ejoty can you help me also?

Any help is appreciated..

oh my lol well to be honest sweety I used codes a long time ago and I bet they are hard to find now..however you do have a news option u can put whatever you want in there.as far as colors go..um you want something thats not harsh on the eyes..a smooth color and proboards does not offer many options..so I used a color chart, which u can find on google..all my links, image making stuff are all gone..so I cant give you any of those, but proboards support can make images for you, just link the images you want them to make, as in a banner etc..pretty much I had to search high and low for my stuff lol..so hopefully youll have better luck.

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

okay i found a color chart, these colors are way better I think , they are better tones and shades.

LOL Thanks Lilacsky, but thats the link i posted up top LOL!

I stayed up till 2am last night ( I am awake now 3 1/2 hours later ) *eyes hanging out of head * LOL!

I was admin area for ages last night and me going in there and experimenting..
What I am finding hard is finding nice buttons and icons.. Your lanterns are lovely! But i dont think they would suit in my site.. as much as i love them.. I am looking for paw prints to use as buttons.. at the moment i have found some buttons that will do in the meantime! Until I find a site that has a nice selection.. And being this side of christmas I am looking for freebies.. I have found some absolutely gorgeous site out there in my search and some very generous and kind people so I am going to try to add their web link..

Anyways thankyou so much for your help!..


WOOO HOOO I have another member I now have 2 LOL!!!

lotsa Luv

Im sorry I haven't had time to sign up for your board yet..I havent been here much either..lots of crap going on lol..but im making it there right now okay!!yay see you there sweety!

[nani]

ey DB me too I have to get logged in there at your side, I guess I didnt yet.. did I? God I will find out when all gets a bit more calm again, these year-change-thingys make one a bit crazy, istn it.

and DB I also wanted to answer your question, but dont like to extend the other thread more, cause anyways I have rambled there quite enough and now Osiris made such a nice kind of "last word", closure.
About the singing, I try shortly, I do most of the singing yes, like MoodyMoon, Xiong, RapalArab, Bashira I do sing alone, but at Soham, Here&Now and some more there is a backing-vocal and that is Marisha, an indian professional and quite known singer there in India. (btw much more professional than me, true) At the song HadGedam you can hear the difference of our voices very well, cause its from us both quite equilibrated text amount, the western part is me and the typical sanskrit-indian part is her. She is incredible. You can see her and all of us on our webside, there is "about Dao" and when you click on that there comes "musicians". Though when we started this project in 2000 I didnt want to sing that much at all, cause I was concentrated on the music-writing, as Chin. and me we each both are writing the songs. This year, means now lately, I have decided to write less for our next album, cause there yet is enough stuff Chin. basically wrote during his last India-stay and I may concentrate more on the arrangment and singing further on, also because I/we finally did decide to get Chin`s girlfriend as a singer and more into the Dao-Boat. So we are 3 now, thats great for me/us after such a period of 16 years being a couple-dao lol. As Im a bit of a "work-pusher" lol and we are 3 now I hope to be a bit more laid-back during our productions, hehe thats good for all of us and also I hope to have some more time for other jazzy-projects, my buddhism path and Obeing yeah. Sorry, that was supposed to become short lol. Seemes like during the last 5 years I still couldnt learn to express things shorter, forgive me sunshine :-)
all the very best for your side, work and all your projects, lovepeace Nani

[Dancing Bear]

Wow Nani!
I know you say Marisha is good and she is.....But i also thought you are really good yourself... My favourite is Moody Moon... as you can tell, it is the one i have in my website LOL!! Please let me know if you change things in your website and i can advertise in the website also... as I have about 3 links in there for Dao .. LOL!! Me and Hubby love the music and are really looking foward to your next album, Please dont give up the singing it is a beautiful voice

I wish you all the luck and prosperity in the world xxxxxx


DB xxxxxxx

[nani]

aww DB, thanx for all your lovely support.. and you both really have had an incredible perseverance hey with all that technical-beat-me-up-probs LOL.. I first didnt believe that someone would really put that effort in, that was/is such encouraging emotionally! There has happened something new yes, a little contract-thing in your home Australia, but I have to figuere it out better, Im too sloppy arrgh at such details, but for sure it will be a pleasure for me to tell more when things are back to routine next week.
Much joy&love to You, Eagle and your beloved ones, Nani

[Dancing Bear]

Excellent Nani, i cant wait!!
We like your music so it is no trouble to help promote,.. its what its all about yeh!!

besides i think you did me a big favour by allowing me to put your music on my website

Lotsa Luv
