Credit for writing the original FAQ goes to tokki . ^^
doodlebug also added a few FAQ to this as well.
I figured it's about time we have a Q&A thread, if you have any other questions other than those below then just leave a reply!
Q. I've just joined this forum, what is there to do?
A.
- Introduce yourself
- Make a wishlist
- Post your latest haul
- Check out the photocard lists, maybe make your own!
- Post your photocard collection
- Join in the games board
A. Go to your profile page and click 'Edit profile' and you will see the following:
In the far right box click 'Upload/Link' to either upload an image from your computer or copy the link of an image. Make sure the 'Use only the Uploaded/Linked' option is selected and then click save.
Q. How do I tag a member in a post?
A. Either click on the button or simply type their username after @.
NOTE: Some users have display names different to their usernames, typing their display name after @ will not work.
Q. How do I make a signature?
A. The easiest way to do it is to create a thread/post a reply. In this box you can easily create and customise your signature to include different colours, pictures and hyperlinks. Once you've made your signature, click the 'BBCode' in the bottom left corner. Copy this code and paste it into the signature box in your edit profile page. Then you can close down the create a thread/post a reply box.
NOTE: When choosing an image for your signature, please try to keep it as small as possible. Also, please refrain from including any sensitive material in your signature.
Q. How do I make my signature centered?
A. Signatures support BB code, so all you need to do is:
[div align="center"]Your Signature here![/div]
If you can please try and keep signatures to a maximum heigh of 350px. Also remember to be aware that we do have some younger members here and we want this to be a comfortable forum for everyone so no inappropriate signatures containing things like profanity and violence etc. in them
Q. How can I add a picture to my post?
A. To add a fullsize picture, you will have to upload your photo to a host site beforehand (tumblr, photobucket, imgur, etc) so that you have a link to that picture - then you can upload it through the button.
To upload a picture straight from your computer click the 'Add Attachment' button and select your image - these pictures will be shown as thumbnails in your post which you have to click on to get to the full size version.
A comprehensive picture guide on how to do this has been posted here.
Q. Can I edit or delete my posts?
A. To edit your post simple click the edit button at the top right of your post, amend your post and click save changes. To delete your post click the button and then delete post.
Q. Can I delete my Threads?
A. No. To delete your thread you will need to submit a request to the admins/mods here and they'll delete your thread.
Q. How do I send a private message?
A. To send a PM to a member simply click their username and press the Send Message button on their profile.
Q. How do I use spoiler tags?
A. All posts on this forum use BBCode. To add spoiler tags to any of your posts, follow this layout here (minus the spaces inside the brackets [ ] ):
[ spoiler ] Insert any and all material you want to be under a spoiler tag (large images, long-winded rants, photocard spoilers, etc.) here!! [ /spoiler ]
Q. Someone on the forum has upset/offended/been rude to me or made me feel uncomfortable, what should I do?
A. If someone on the forum has done any of the above to you then please PM any of the admins/mods (these people have Administrator/Manager/Coordi Noona as their member rank) and they will respond to your message as soon as they can. We don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable here so don't be afraid to contact us regarding any matter.
Q. Which methods of payment are allowed on the forum? Which methods are not allowed?
A. Please read this thread regarding this topic. Members found using unacceptable payment methods will be subject to moderator action.
Q. What are the yellow/red bars on people's profiles?
A. This is the forum's warning system. The bars appear on people's profile when they have broken a forum rule such a arguing with/being rude to a mod or other forum member, double posting, excessive bumping of their threads, continuously having an oversized signature etc. The bars have a percentage on them and this depends on the severity of the offence the lowest being 5%. A red bar that has 100% on it means the member committed a huge breach/continuous breaking of forum rules or were found to have scammed a forum member. When the bar reaches 100% that person is banned from the forum.
