Description The past couple of days, I've noticed some comments from people saying that they didn't know how to get to their notes to send one if they didn't have any new notes in their inboxes. So I've created a simple tutorial on how to go about getting to the Notes so you can send one, and tacked on a simple how to send one for new Users of dA. I hope this helps! :3

This is also my first tutorial on anything....so yeah...[hopes it went all right]

EDIT:
Thank you so much to ^ginkgografix for picking my tutorial for a DD!

How fucking retarded do you have to be to not be able to figure this out without a tutorial. Even if you can't, that's the point of the FAQ. Seriously, why is this even a deviation. How is a new member that's so daft they can't figure out how to use the note system going to figure out how to find a tutorial that tells them how to use the note system? This is beyond pointless.

Well, judging from the amount of "thanks for the tut" comments it's got, seems like some people needed the help to me . I've seen MUCH more retarded shit than this; as this is pretty nice, clean and actually instructive for the right kind of people. Just because you don't need it doesn't make it pointless for everyone single person that go on deviantART. Chill pill, anyone?

I agree. I mean if this deviation is a DD, then this tutorial must be very necessary. But if it is, then people seem to be getting more and more lazy/idiotic.

Honestly, nothing against the deviation. I'm glad its helping these people out.

why go and bash this? You're saying you had aspolutely no thoughts or concerns about how to navigate this site when you first became a deviant?

Humblebot In reply to plmethvin [2010-05-14 23:58:12 +0000 UTC]

I looked in the FAQ to resolve those concerns.

That if a newb doesn't know about the FAQ? They first thing you can successfully and quickly master is dAsearching. They could search "How to make a note" quicker than discovering the existence of the FAQ.

Slow noobs may not know. I have a retarded-tutorial in my gallery about how to submit literature b/c my friend didn't know what the hell she was doing.

If they're too slow to figure out how to click the button that says HELP on every page, this tutorial isn't going to help them either.

LOL This.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm a turd sandwich but this tutorial won't really help anyone who doesn't know how to send a note.

Cobosaur In reply to Humblebot [2010-05-14 22:00:46 +0000 UTC]

Eh, not the artist's problem, really. They didn't choose to make it a DD. Someone suggested it, and someone approved it.

thats not really a opinion by saying THIS IS FUCKING POINTLESS or whatever and plus maybe next time you should use constructive criticism

Humblebot In reply to SweetwilightAngel [2010-05-14 22:30:53 +0000 UTC]

Wait, how is that not an opinion?

Constructive criticism: Spend time making actual art instead of useless tutorials and then begging for DDs.

SweetwilightAngel In reply to Humblebot [2010-05-14 22:40:57 +0000 UTC]

She wasn't begging for it a friend suggested it to her and its not useless for new member that are having trouble and its not a opinion cause your useing harsh words and saying its terrible

"I vote this one needs a DD X3 'cause it is awesome hahaha"

That sure sounds like a suggesting herself to me.

It is useless for new members because if they're the type of people who have trouble finding things, how are they going to find this deviation? Also: the need for this tutorial is completely destroyed by the fact you can click the 'help' button on every page, type "notes," and click the first link to get all the information needed.

AngelCrusher In reply to ??? [2010-05-14 19:29:05 +0000 UTC]

Seriously? Its like a tutorial for people who cant read, its not as if the note button is hidden.

Anyway, this isnt a rant at you, you have made a nice tutorial that shows newbies struggling to find their way around.

But I tut at dA that if you need a tutorial to find an important button, and you need to highlight this with a DD, something is wrong with their interface or explaining.
