How do i make accounts

What do i do to make a new account account

can the 3 ring change my account name?

You can't change an account name, but many pirates create an account that matches their pirate name - it simplifies things on the forums and the wiki, to be sure. :) You can create a new account from the Account page at puzzlepirates.com. Sign in and you should have the option to create a new account. (Just in case: If you're trying to get around a ban, please read this thread carefully.) --Zava 17:01, 10 August 2007 (PDT)

Remove myself from a friends house?

Ok, i am a roomie with my friend in a cottage. I do not wish to be roommates with that person any longer and want to leave that house. Is there any way that I can remove myself from that house, because i do not want to ask him or else I would have really let him down. It would be great if I could or someone else could do it for me.

  Thanks for the help,

I believe that an OM can fix that. Send a petition with your request - make sure you include the house owner's name, type of house it is, and the island where the house is located. Let me know if that doesn't actually work -I've never tried it. :) --Zava 03:53, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

Uploading icons for marketplace and palace

uploading a market & palace image

i am looking for a islands commodity market icon to place on a pirate page under owned stalls (see azlar ) for example on the icon for an iron monger..

however, i cannot find a market icon, or find a way to upload my own (i made a screenshot from the game, edited the file to make it white background, now it tells me the file is corrupt ?) Thanks in advance --Azlar 00:16, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

I took a look at your page - To clarify, are you looking for the commodity market icon because you own a market? It's an odd request, just making sure before I plan to dig into the game images after work. --Zava 03:53, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

How to change the page titled to capitalized

I made a page for our flag, The Moonlight Marauders. But on the page, the title says The moonlight marauders...lack of capitalization on the M's. It's located here:

http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/The_moonlight_marauders

How do I change this? --Shannal 09:20, 15 August 2007 (PDT)

There is a tab at the top of the article labeled "Move." Use that and make sure to watch your capitalization and spelling for the move. You should use what is seen in game. --Guppymomma 09:14, 15 August 2007 (PDT)

Yay! It's fixed! Thanks very much :) (I also remembered that I was supposed to put my signature on this question...hehe fixed that too. I'll get this Wiki thing eventually!) --Shannal 09:20, 15 August 2007 (PDT)

User:"pirate name" as my default page

How can I change my default user page from "user:retrybute" to just "retrybute"?

There is a tab at the top of the page labeled "move." Just remember to use the in-game spelling and capitalization of your pirate name. --Guppymomma 04:15, 25 August 2007 (PDT)

crew page

I would like to create a crew page for my crew so how i do that

Type in the crew name in the search box. If there is no page it will say that you can create this page in red text. Click that and then you can start creating. If you need a reference to get started find an already existing crew page and COPY, don't cut, blocks of formating from their page. Hope that helps -- Microsoft994 13:27, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
