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! :3This 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!

Haha... So dA features a notes tutorial instead of making their site easier to interface with? Right.
At least this tutorial is concise.

Guess so.
And this tutorial is really geared more towards new users of dA who are cold and wandering around not knowing what to do with themselves. With this tutorial they now know how to start spamming our inboxes to ask for help X3
And I tried to make it as easy as I could. No sense in making a difficult beginners tutorial unless I want to listen to them whine about how they don't get it!

its sad that we need a tutorial for this XD but when the new DA format rolled over even i couldnt find them for a while rofl XD

[giggles] Yeah, I only made this tutorial after reading several posts [all made by older members of the community] that they couldn't find their notes unless they had one X3
So simply put if it's still a bit confusing for members who have been here for a while. What must it be like for our poor cold, lost, confused, [Looking for someone really cool and or popular on dA to sink their newb leech teeth in to X3] newbs here on dA. Now they can stop spamming our page and spam our inboxes instead! X3
But I'm hoping that it's easy enough that they'll understand it. That is the point after all!

The whole notes thingy is so easy that it's difficult.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup!
But most people miss that little note tab at the top of their messages.
After all I only bothered to create this after I read several posts [all made by older member of dA actually] on the fact that they couldn't find the notes.
And this really is a tutorial for beginners. Simple easy stuff. Sometimes it's what they need X3
Of course even when things are explained in the easiest way quite a few tend to say 'I don't get it'

Luckily I figured it out a while back but to lots of begginers its quite confusing, so I can just show this to them

Unless they find it first and start flooding your inbox with messages right? [giggles]
And surprisingly, I created this tutorial after I read several posts be older members here on dA talking about how they couldn't find their notes unless they actually had one X3. So I figured I could put a little something together :3

Well if I get to a persons page and see that they don't respond I'll skip the thanks, don't need to flood their page if they don't care :3

<____< good show, good show, jolly good show. Why explain when you can show? And why do it yourself when you can give them anothers work! Am I right? Haha
Well I hope this tutorial helps who ever it is you're going to show it to. After all that was the reason I made it X3

is that serious??? I don't mean the dd but the fact that someone can't find the "not"-section?!
well, congrats anyway...

Congrats on the daily deviation btw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol - that does seem far easier than trying to find the persons page
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know X3 'cause then you either have to look up their name or I know I used to remember that they posted a comment on something of mine so I'd go to that piece find their comment click on the icon and blah blah blah just to get to the note icon!
-Leaf
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol - yeah I've done that before 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, tis quite a lengthy process, and then after you go through all of that to send them a note you remember how to get to them at that point and you're just kinda like
...I'll have to remember that next time...
and do you?
Naw, what fun would that be?
dA made it difficult so you can go to the persons page to find the button and give them another page view so they can gloat! X3 haha.
