TLW (The Lost Worlds) is about sharing an interest in Historical events and/or stories with Historical background.

The site is not about being 100% historically accurate, nor do we intend to become a database of extensive historical facts and events.

We merely want to provide a platform for people to entertain themselves and others in an informative manner.

We are not associated with the author, the books and/or the movies, although we think they're fantastic!

We suggest you use any of the search-engines to search for: thelostworlds + book + movie

We are not associated with The Lost Worlds, Legacy of Kain or Soulreaper, (the Games), but the game's website can be found [ here ].

We refer to the f.a.q. about adding/opening pages, areas, topics and entries.

The sitemap is located [ here ].

This link can also be found in the lefthand-menubar.

If you know the id-number of that page, area, topic or entry; you can!

Just create a link like the following samples and replace <nr> by the number of the page, area, topic or entry.

[a href=link.php?page=<nr>]Page[/a]

[a href=link.php?area=<nr>]Area[/a]

[a href=link.php?topic=<nr>]Topic[/a]

[a href=link.php?entry=<nr>]Entry[/a]

If you are allowed to participate, you will be able to see the [ add ] or [ edit ] links.

See our f.a.q. about submitting pages, areas, a.s.o.

There are several ways to browse to/open a page, area, topic and/or entry.

You can use the menu-buttons in the lefthand-menubar to open different pages.

From each page you can click down into the structural-tree: first areas, then topics and finally entries.

If you know the name or number of the page, the area, the topic or the entry, you can enter that name or number in the quick-search field located in the righthand-bar and click the button next to it.

Else you can use our search-page to search with more advanced options.

Furthermore, you can add 'favorite' topics to your profile. These topic will appear in a separate dropdown-menu in the righthand-menubar.

You will see an [ add ] link at the top of each page, area and or topic.

If you click on this link, a special submission-form will open and with this form you can submit the page, area, topic or entry.

Submission is subsequent, so if you're on a page, the form will submit a new area for that page, if you're in an area, the form will submit an new topic for that area, if you're in a topic, the form will submit a new entry for that topic and if you're in an entry, the form will submit additional comment for that entry.

You will see a [ mod ] link at the top of each area and or topic.

If you click on this link, a special edit/modification-form will open and with this form you can edit/modify the area, topic or entry.

Editing/Modification is consequent, so if you're on a area, the form will edit/modify that area, if you're in a topic, the form will edit/modify that topic, or in the post/entry-list or in a post/entry, the form will edit/modify that entry.

Because of incompatibilities with the editform and the posts/entries that have been made before Jun #1 2007, it is not possible to edit/modify these posts/entries, therefore the [ mod ] link will not be shown for such posts/entries.

If you have a good idea for starting a page or area, you can request this page or area be created for you by one of our Admins.

Once you're the 'owner' of such a page or area, you can create and assign area's or topics yourself.

You automatically become owner of an area, topic or entry that you've created yourself.

As the owner, you can assign Moderator or Editor rights to other members for this area or topic.

We could no longer guarantee the best of service for our 'local' mailboxes.

Therefore we had to decide to cease this (free) service to our members.

Some of our early members that obtained a free mailbox already, still will be able to access their mailbox and use their (exclusive) @thelostworlds.com emailaddress.

We just could not afford to maintain any more mailboxes than the fifty mailboxes we already have to maintain.

You can contact our administration team to see if or when a mailbox may becomes available, but changes are not likely to happen.

Use the contact-page to report any errors, incorrect facts or plain mistakes (typo's).

Just use the [ add ] or [ edit ] links where they appear in the entry to add or edit the entry.

Please note: there is a difference between the [ add ] link INSIDE the entry and the one at the top or bottom of the entry.

The first one adds comment at the bottom of the entry itself, while the other adds a new entry in the same thread/topipc.

Sure! We even urge you to do so!

You can ask an Admin or Moderator to start a Page or special Area for you, or you can start your own topic (story) in an existing Area.

If you start a topic in an existing Area, do not forget to ask the Moderator, Editor or owner of that Area for permission.

(Usually, they will not deny such a request.)
