Here's a few instructions on how to do some things I've seen multiple people ask about:

PICTURES

Adding an Avatar:

1. Look up at the red task bar and click "User CP"

2. On the next page, click "Edit Avatar" on the left side

Now you have one of two options:
A. you can enter the URL of a picture you have on a picture hosting website (IE: Photobucket, Imageshack, etc...)

B. you can hit the "Browse" button to find a picture on your computer to upload.

Remember to make sure your picture is 150 by 150 pixels or 100.0 KB(whichever is smaller)

3. Hit "Save Changes" and you should be all set



Adding a Signature Picture:

1. Look up at the red task bar and click "User CP"

2. At the next page click "Edit Signature" on the left side of the screen

Now you have two options:

A. Enter the URL of the picture you want to use that you have uploaded at a hosting site such ass Photobucket, Imageshack or some other photo hosting site. Click Upload

B. Upload from your computer. Click the browse button, choose what picture you want and hit upload

REMEMBER: The maximum size of your custom image is 500 by 300 pixels or 100.0 KB (whichever is smaller)

You should now have a signature picture!



Posting Pictures:

When making a post click the "manage attachment" button to upload 10 pictures to each post (Keep them under 700K)

OR

You can use Photobucket or another photo hosting website and put the [IMG] code for the picture into your post (Keep it under 500 pixels wide)

Using this method will only allow you to post 4 pictures per post though



Adding a Picture Album:

1. Look up at the red task bar and click "User CP"

2. At the next page, click "Pictures and Albums" on the left side of the screen

3. Click "Add Album" on the new page

4. Now you should see a page with Title and Description areas. fill these out and choose either a Public or Private album. (Private albums are able to be seen by everyone in your "contacts" group and the Moderators)

5. Click "Submit"

6. Now you can click "Click here to upload pictures!" and upload pictures to your new album


PROFILE DETAILS

Changing your "User Title":

1. Look up at the red task bar and click "User CP"

2. At the next page, click "Edit Your Details" on the left side of the screen

You will now see three boxes:
A. Registration Required Information
B. Optional Information
C. Additional Information

3. The first option in the "Optional Information" Box is where you can type your new Custom User Title

4. Scroll down and hit "Save Changes"



Adding a website/feedback link to your Signature:

1. Look up at the red task bar and click "User CP"

2. At the next page click "Edit Signature" on the left side of the screen

(If you have a Signature Picture for the website you're linking to)
3. In the script box highlight the address for your picture. Make sure to also highlight the [IMG] tags

(If you do not have a Signature Picture for the website you're linking to)
3.5. Type what you want your Signature to say (IE: "So&so's Feedback" or "Check out my customs!") Now highlight that text.

4. Click the "Insert Link" button (It'll look like a world with a chain in front of it)

5. A pop up window will appear where you type in the website/forum thread address you want to link to in your picture

6. Scroll down and hit "Save Signature"

Now you can click your signature picture/text to go to whatever website you've linked to



THREADS

Editing a thread title/ Deleting a thread:

If you need either of these things done to one of your threads, please contact one of the moderators for the forum your thread is in and we'll be more than happy to make the necessary changes for you



Posting a poll:

When you're starting a new thread, scroll down and check the "Yes, post a poll with this thread" box. Underneath that, you can choose how many answers/options for your poll (Maximum of 10)

After your type up your post and hit "Submit New Thread" you'll then be taken to a new page where you can type your poll question and poll options.

You can only post a poll when starting a new thread, you can not edit a previous thread you started and add a poll to it
