Omnimaga Forum Usage/Traditions/Mentality Explanation

[meishe91]

Technically no. Not a true number pad anyways. They usually have one built into the keys that you have to push a button to use (the Fn key as Deep Thought said).

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah I see then. Thanks for the info.

[Builderboy]

I have a true number pad on mine

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah nice. I take it it depends of the screen size, right? On a tiny laptop if there are too many keys it must be hard to type anything. X.x

[meishe91]

It probably more depends on the keyboard/overall size. The screen size can be adjustable since it doesn't have to necessarily match the size of the laptop, it can be smaller.

Just added something to the General Tips section. Also, thanks to Z for adding some stuff. I didn't know you had.

Yup.  The most meaningful thing I added was info on spoiler tags.

[DJ Omnimaga]

By the way, I added more details in the memes sections. I added something saying to not overuse internet ones since they're old and not as fun anymore to people and can be spammish, but I also expanded the section about Omnimaga's local ones, such as peanuts, Netham45 is a lobster and SquirrelioJazz.

[Deep Toaster]

Fixed some outdated info and added a lot of acronyms.

[meishe91]

What outdated stuff was there?

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah I am curious too. X.x

EDIT: On a side note I renamed the topic because I felt "Etiquette" was a bit misleading (it sounds more like "Forum rules") as well as TI-Community, since Omnimaga is not the TI-Community, but rather a part of it (and part of the Casio community), and its mentality/usage doesn't apply to the TI community as a whole.

[Deep Toaster]

Oh, it was a little sentence that said the Downloads system would be set up in the future. It seems to be working pretty well already

[KermMartian]

DJ Omni, you preempted the post I was about to make.  Thank you.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Yeah I felt it didn't really have the right name, since initially it simply turned into a different explanation of forum usage with the more commonly used commands, to later add about some local traditions (such as the peanut bag), but we already got a rules page so that was prone to confusion. Many people skip over the TOS agreement when registering somewhere, but will check the rules later. A few probably checked this topic for rules instead of the actual rules page, not to mention they might have thought this topic applies elsewhere.

[DJ Omnimaga]

I updated the first post with a link to the original peanut bag. (see randomness section)
