1.  Terms Of Service [TOS]
It is very important to follow the EVGA-TOS. You can read about it here.
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=4682
 
 
2.  Structure of our Evga-Forum
As soon as you click on the botton below you enter the All-forum section of EVGA.

Here you'll find all the sub-sections. Each sub-section contains several subsub-sections. The subsections are: (Click to visit subsection to see subsub-sections)
EVGA Graphichs Cards
EVGA Motherboards
EVGA General Forum
Folding@EVGA
EVGA Programs
EVGA Gaming
EVGA Marketplace
Computer Hardware
Software
 
3.  How to post a new thread
Let's say I would like to post a new thread in the general-section. 

 
And then..

 
Now I just click the "Post Message" - botton. Thread is now posted.
 
 
4.  How to post a picture
It is quite simple to post a picture in a post.  
a) You can attach photos to your post by clicking on the paperclip. 

 
b)
Instead I recommend you to upload pics to a site like www.imageshack.us. I recommend uploading to size 800x600.
After uploading click on the "tree" and insert the Image URL to your pic. (right click on picture to copy direct link). 

Now you can post as many pics as you want. 
 
5.  How to quote a message
First click "green" and then "red".

 
6.  How to post a youtube-video
Copy the URL to your Youtube-vid.

Then click here.

Click insert tag.

This is now copied into your post "[tube][/tube]"
Now put you youtubevid-URL in between the [tube]insert Youtube URL here[/tube] 
Now just click "unlink" and then "Post Message"

It should look like this.

 
7.  How to post a link
Lets say I would like to post a link to one of my profile. 
Then I find the URL to my profile. http://www.evga.com/forum...file.aspx?memid=852128
Now I would like to replace that long link with "link to my profile". 
I copy the whole link and then type "link to my profile. Now I mark the "link to my profile" and then click on the "link"-button.

And this pops up. Now paste the link to the profile or whatever you would like to link to.

The result:
Link to my profile
 
8.  How to setup up your modsrigs
a) Create a profile
b) Create a build
c) Upload pics (max 500kb each and file-type: Jpeg)
d) type your specs
e) Upload your 3DmarkVantage/3Dmark11-score to be able to win. I've shown an examble below.. This is with my score, P47792 vantage
e,a)  1. Insert your score.. (only digits) so for instance you have to write "47792" in the field right to the line marked with red. 
        2. Insert your link, "http://3dmark.com/3dmv/2562847", into the field right to the line marked with green.
        3. Make sure your rig is public, check the field within the blue circle. 
        4. If you want your rig to be your primary rig, which means that your modsrigslink beneath your avatar directs to this rig, then you check the field within the yellow circle..

                        This certainly looks worthy of a BR and a sticky.

                              Not only should it be stickied (as it is) but it should stand out.  I suggest have Shane put a different color background where you see the row for this thread so it doesn't get missed.  Maybe only the key threads should have a different row background.  Just a thought.

                                      i think its a good guide. Maybe you could make a topic, where you can post the first 50 post so you can use the market place?
