2006 - (11/28/2006) Linkshell Community Beta Version Update/World Portal

The "World Portal" is convenient for searching for and viewing established communities in the Linkshell Community. Currently, you can search for communities by World, view new communities, and view rankings based on the number of registered members in a community.
== How To Display the World Portal ==
	
You can display each world's World Portal by selecting a world from the menu on the right side of the Linkshell Community Portal. Logging in with a PlayOnline ID is not necessary when displaying the World Portal this way.
	
For accessing the World Portal when logged in, please click "World Portal" on the top right of the main menu.
== Viewing Newest Events ==
The 10 newest registered events in the current World are displayed on the World portal.
However, if the display settings for an event are not set to "public," the event's information will not be displayed.
Clicking "All," "EXP Party," "Mission," "Quest," "Battlefield," "Item," "Synthesis," or "Others" from the top of the screen will display information on up to 100 events in the corresponding category.
If you would like the new event you are creating to be listed on the World Portal, set the event's display settings to "Display on World Portal (public)."
