zMUD and voting and buttons, oh yeah!

We have recently updated HELP zMUD and HELP VOTING with a small but
potentially very helpful new addition - how to create a zMUD button
to make voting really easy.

With these steps (in HELP, and below) you can easily add a new button
and get your voting done in style, speed, and fewer clicks.

Regrettably, we were unable to find a single-click way to make this
happen, so all our zMUd users will still have to envy the Java Client
users, for now!

HERE'S HOW:

It's easy to make a VOTE button for zmud. All the button needs is a
value of "#URL http://www.achaea.com/irex/tmsvote/vote.php"

If you're not sure how to do this, here's the step-by-step:

1) in zMUD, click on the 'Settings' icon, opening 'Settings in Memory'
2) on the 'settings in memory' page click on the little triangle next
to the 'New' icon, and select 'New Button'
3) in the 'Edit Button' window, in the 'Caption' box, give the button a
name, like 'VOTE' (or whatever you want)
4) in the 'Edit Button' window put this in the 'Value' box:
#URL http://www.achaea.com/irex/tmsvote/vote.php
5) click on 'Save' on the right, near the green check mark.
6) close the 'Settings in Memory'

To use the button, just click on it. It opens a new browser and takes you to a page where you must click one more time to register your vote on the TopMudSites.com site. That's it!

Penned by my hand on the 22nd of Phaestian, in the year 365 AF.
