The new RonronMX is full of features to help you make the most out of your time spent here. In this thread I will briefly attempt to point many of them out to you and explain how to use them. If you have any questions you can always PM me.
Media Embeding Feature - The media embedder is simple to use and displays the video inside the post instead of an offsite link to visit. To use, just paste the URL of the video. This also works with mp3's as long as they are hosted, but you have to put them in tags by using the http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/ODEEZIE/RonRonMX%20Beta/mp3.gif
icon.
Please get familiar with the links in the navbar (the navbar is the row of links just below the header). There are many useful links here that will enhance your Ronronmx experience.
The UserCP, or User Control Panel, is your link to personalize your profile. From the userCP you can edit your details, profile picture, signature, avatar, photo album, ignore list, etc. You have a long list of options on the left. Users may also leave you messages on your own personal profile page.
In the search drop down menu on the navbar, you will find several different searches. You can find your posts, unanswered posts, or you can search google.
The http://ronronmx.com/vbulletin/images/galaxy/editor/favoritesmilies.gif
icon above the smiley box when you post is your link to your favorite smilies. You may choose 24 of your favorite smilies to always be displayed when you are posting.
Inside your user details you may enter your Myspace, Facebook, Xbox Gamertag, PS3 Gamertag, and Wii Friend code and it will show up in your postbit everytime you post (your postbit is your username, location, posts, etc.)
There is a chatbox on the bottom of the main forum index. Everyone is welcome to chat in there.
We also have our own chat application called FlashChat. You will see the "Users using FlashChat box below the login on the forum index. By clicking on the http://ronronmx.com/vbulletin/images/galaxy/misc/whos_online.gif icon in that box, you can enter the chat. Try it out, it is very nice!
Please see this screen shot for more info: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/ODEEZIE/flashchat.jpg
When you get a PM or any other type of notification, your Private Messages link will turn into a drop-down menu title Your Notifications. This will let you know if you have PM's, user profile comments, friend requests, social group requests, etc.
The RonRonMX Donor features are as follows: The Vbookie is a sports betting modification that allows us to post events up for bets. The Casino is a just that, a mini casino. The arcade currently has about 350 games and can run tournaments between several members. The Forums Spy is a real time look at threads being posted, you no longer have to refresh the forums it is updated for you.

There are post icons you can utilize under the text box when you are creating a thread. These are available to let users know what you are posting. There is MX, SX, Photos, News Article, Movie, Caution, Question, OT=Off Topic, Thumbs-Up, Thumbs-Down, etc.
If you click reply in response to a thread, but someone posts in the same thread before you are finished typing, you will receive a warning message and be able to see the latest post before submitting your entry.

You can now report private messages to the forum staff. If you are receiving threatening or inappropriate PM's, you can simply click the "Report" tab (exactly the same tab as if you were reporting a post) and it will be forwarded to the Admins via PM and will also be displayed in the Admin/Mod forum to be taken care of.
