Do inquiring minds want to know? Sure they do! And they go to the Council Website to find out!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

This just in from Hawk

IVN is starting a summer promotional campaign to get new members for CT this Sunday with a Beach Party in Santa Monica that will be promoted at UCLA and people at the party will be encouraged to join CT. The first one this Sunday is an experiment and the new members will also be invited to another party that will start in the Plaza at 11 pm Sunday Cyt and run until about 2:00 am. It would be great if CT members (and Guides) could be there to help greet any new members who might arrive. If it works well then it will be repeated every Sunday all through the Summer.

BEST HOMES COMPETITION
submitted by DynaTec

Greetings Cytonians! Right now you'd be expecting another entry for Cybertown's Best Homes Gallery but unfortunately some of us have holidays for July and are living it up he he. So there will be no Gallery for July but don't be disappointed as Best Homes will be back in August and you can still enter your home by e-mailing BestHomes@Cybertown.com BestHomes@cybertown.com with your name.

With the recent opening of Designer Homes a flood of new 3D houses have been created and are still coming into Cybertown. So, think of July as your time to make your own house or to go window shopping after your perfect place and to decorate your hearts away.

You've got one month to find you the perfect home whether its from Designer Homes or a normal CT House and to decorate it and make it the best in CT! Remember having alot of objects doesn't mean its the best as it takes longer to load. Good Luck!

Your login password is yours and yours alone. Please DO NOT give out your password to anyone in Cybertown for any reason. Any legitimate person who wants to hire you for a job in Cybertown does not need your login password for any reason.

Any legitimate Cybertown or blaxxun staff person will never ask you for your password. If anyone asks you for your login password on condition of employment, please report that person's nickname to Cybertown Security immediately along with a chat log if you have it.

It's prudent to change your password frequently. To change your password: at login click on the "Change Your Password" link on the right.

CONTACT VERSION FOR CT

Although there are new versions of blaxxun's Contact out, if you're running Win98, the ideal version for use in 3D Cybertown is still version 4.4 (if you're using Internet Explorer as your browser, IE 5.5 is recommended for use with Contact 4.4)

If you use WinXP and IE 6, you may experience problems with Contact 4.4. For that operating system and browser we recommend Contact version 5.1

download 4.4!

download 5.1!

If you're changing from one version to another, be sure to completely un-install Contact first! If you need help with that, feel free to contact help@cybertown.com for instructions.

HELP GUIDE

Useful new tech info: at this time, Netscape 6 won't work with the 2d chat in Cybertown seemingly due to the new way this Netscape version handles Java. A successful action to get 3D to work is by taking the plugins (npbx3d.dll, npbx3dpro.dll and npbxpro.dll) out of Netscape Communicator's plugin folder and putting them in Netscape 6's plugin folder. Make sure Netscape is shut down before doing that though!

The Cybertown Help Files are comprehensive and contain the information you need to survive and flourish in Cybertown. Put together by Tin-Leon with the seal of approval from Red5, Cybertown's Community Operations Manger, and reviewed by the City Guides, it is here for your use.
