We have a number of pinned threads. This will condense all of that into one easy thread and hopefully I can un-pin the others, based off the reactions to this thread. So please do tell us what you think of these
 We're quite aware as a forum that a number of our members have never used a forum before and so aren't sure of some things, such as how to change their avatar, how to send a personal message to another user. Even if they have, our system may be slightly different to those they have used in the past (ie: ours is clearly more awesome). Anyway, to help our users, we've made this condensed guide to hopefully answer all of those first worries newbies (and old members alike) can have. What's included in this thread? Using photos to easily point out a step-by-step guide, we have included how to: - change your display name/username. - change your avatar - change your personal photo. - change your signature. - change your custom member title - send a PM to another user from a topic. - send a PM to another user from their profile. - quote multiple posts to reply to more than one post. All pictures are thanks to the fantastic Lightning <3 How To Change Your Display Name/Username.  How to change your avatar: Here, you can choose an avatar from our gallery or upload one of your own, just make sure it's no larger than 90 x 90 pixels or 50 KB. It also must be the format gif,jpg,jpeg, or png. If you need to resize something, you can do so at imageshack. if you would rather upload one of your own:  How to change your personal photo:  How to Change your signature:  How to change your custom member title: Please remember that you must have over 500 posts before you can change this from "Nigrescent Black Hole" "Whimpering Thundercloud", etc.  How to send a PM from a topic:  How to send a PM from a profile  How to Quote Multiple Posts.

Another one I think you should add: How to change your title.
It took me forever to figure out. |

No you cannot. However if you ask a mod they can lock it for you.

I just helped someone upload pictures to the Gallery, so maybe there should be a part in here for that? Ive still got the PM I sent with directions if it makes it easier.

I didn't really know where to ask. Why do my newly uploaded picture show as "Hidden" when i search for it? Since it didn't appear in the Gallery when i uploaded it, i assumed it was some kind of bug, so i tried a few more times, resulting in me uploading 3 of the same picture, although they're all "Hidden". Why are they hidden & Why am i unable to access my own pictures? I can open and view other users' pictures, but not mine, hence I am unable to delete the copies.
Thanks in advance! Krys |
