Right, now that you've clicked on the button, you will be faced with several options. This is what it should look like. (I've included a brief description of each button and information about who is allowed to use it.)
This is what you should see:
This will take you back to the MOTD of your ship (All)
This will take you to the built-in text editor of the MOTD (All)
This takes you to the text of the Captain's log (CO)
Adds a new character to the ship (All)
Modifies any of the current characters on the ship. (All)
Deletes any of the current characters on the ship.
This decides whether or not the crew can add a topic to the ship. (CO)
Removes a topic from the ship. (All)
Changes the name of a topic. (All)
If it is empty this makes sure the topic is not deleted when an archive is done (CO)
So now you have a small idea about what each of the buttons do. So, in the following lessons, we're going to explore them in more detail.
