Please make sure a walkthrough has not already been posted for the game.  To check if the walkthrough thread is already available please check this page: Full List of English Walkthroughs.

To make it easy for users to search for the walkthrough they need, please follow these instructions when posting:


1) Select the folder for the language of the game
2) Select the gaming platform folder for your game
3) Click on 'New Topic'
4) Title your post in the following format: [Post Type (Walkthrough or Tips)] Full Name of the Game
-i.e. [Walkthrough] Tokimeki Memorial Girls`s Side 1st Love or [Walkthough and Tips] Pure Love

Here are some handy tips when working on your own walkthrough and/or review in this forum:

BBcodes

What is BBcode?
BBcodes are similar in function to HTML (a basic coding for websites), except the naming of the codes are up to me.  You will find that when typing a post there are already some BBcodes right under the 'Subject' line that are available for your use.  For example, the box with the letter 'B'.  This box is used to make words bold.  When clicked on it gives you [b ][/b ] (ignore the extra space I placed between the b and the last bracket, it is only so the code can be displayed in the post).  To bold a word or sentence just encase that word in between [b ] and [/b ] (i.e. [b ]bold word[/b ]) or you can just highlight the sentence you want to bold and press the 'B' button (This applies to all button options under the subject line and to the font color changer on the right of the full text editor.

Upload the images to a third party photo sharing site such as Photobucket. Please do not hotlink, since it can cause potential hosting problems for the people you are copying from. (This is part of the reason why you cannot right-click on images in this forum.)

Click the "Img" button and paste the URL between the tags. If you hover over the button, the 'Tip' prompt above your submission box will show you an example. Or you can type it manually.

Code: [Select]
[img]Your URL[/img]
Make sure that your image is not incredibly large, since they can take over mobile screens and may take a while to load on a page. You can resize the images on your own before you upload to the third party photo sharing site, or you can do so if that site has an editing function. Alternatively, you can do the below:

Code: [Select]
[img height=INSERT NUMBER]Your URL[/img]I usually resize to 200 to 400px, depending on what I'm doing.

It's fine~ It took me a while to understand when I first tried it. Compare this example with the above to see which parts were replaced.

Code: [Select]
[img height=250]http://tumblr.com/unrealpic.png[/img]Notice where the spaces are. Those are important.
