[in]Hey, early bird!  You're looking at an early preview of what will soon be a comprehensive, interactive tour to Taijitu's forum.  Make sure to leave your opinions down below!  ;D[/in]

An Interactive Tour to Taijitu's Forum

Welcome to Taijitu's off-site forum!  This forum is Taijitu's main meeting place for chatting, engaging in politics, role-playing, and having fun!  You'll be here quite a bit, so to help you use the forum, here's a comprehensive tour.

This tour will take you around each of the sections of the forum through easy-to-use spoilers, so let's get started!  To see more information on any section of the forum, click the "Spoiler" button below the name of the section.

Title Bar
(click to show/hide)The Title Bar is the black bar at the top of the forum with the big Taijitu logo.  You'll see this bar on every page in forum.taijitu.org.  Click on the spoilers below to see where each link in the Title Bar takes you!

Home
(click to show/hide)This link takes you to our main forum index, http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php.  This is the homepage of Taijitu's forum, where you'll find all sections of the forum from citizenship application to politics to kitten pictures.
IRC
(click to show/hide)This link takes you to our IRC (internet relay chat) board in a very basic form, at http://irc.taijitu.org/.  While you can view our IRC in a very basic form here, Taijitu officially recommends the Kiwi IRC web client.  You can find us on Kiwi at https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.esper.net/taijitu.  If you'd prefer to use your own IRC client, we are #Taijitu on EsperNet.
Wiki
(click to show/hide)This link takes you to our wiki's main page at http://wiki.taijitu.org/wiki/Main_Page.  Our wiki is a fantastic place to find information on Taijitu's nations, our government, and other facts about our region.
Help
(click to show/hide)This link takes you to an extremely basic help page for our forum, though in reality, it is most likely simply set up to sponsor our host, Simple Machines.  If you actually want some help for the forum, you're already in the right place!
Search
(click to show/hide)This link takes you to our forum-wide search tool.  You can set search parameters, whether to search by a specific user, your result order, result options, and exactly when results should come from.
Profile
(click to show/hide)This link takes you to a rich set of pages where you can customize both how your forum profile and posts looks to others, and how others' posts and even the forum itself looks to you.  Below are some spoilers detailing exactly where each and every link inside the profile tab takes you.
