Commonly Asked Questions What is an avatar? An avatar is a small graphic that is shown beside each of your posts. It can be changed in your profile. In this forum, the maximum size of an avatar is 100x100. Unfortunately, since this forum is being hosted for free by forumer.com>Forumer, the maximum size of KB put in that avatar is 6kb (which isn't much help). How can I put in an avatar more than 6kb? The answer is very simple. You simply host your avatar in an image hosting company such us Imageshack or Tinypic, and copy the direct link. Go to your profile > Link to off-site Avatar: and paste the avatar's direct link there. What are signatures? Signatures are shown at the bottom of each of your posts. Like avatars you can edit it in your profile. Signatures can be primped or 'made-to-look-pretty' by simply using BBcodes. BBcodes are codes made to bold, italic and underline your text. How do I add images into my signature? To add images to your signature, simply get the link of the image and put it into the Image BBcode. Example:

What is a thread? A thread is a certain topic to discuss on. Threads have their own genres and have certain boards for them. Read the board descriptions before posting a thread in them. This will most likely result to you not getting in trouble. How do I start a thread? Starting a thread is easy. Go onto the board, find the 'New Topic' button and click it. Post away! What is Spam? Try and avoid spamming. Spam is short for 'Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages' that ruins a good forum. Of course a little bit of spam is ok because it makes the forum a little bit more fun but remember, keep it to a limit. People that spam tend to get banned. Spammers are common nowadays, that is why there are Moderators and Administrators in forums. What is an administrator? An Administrator is the one who runs the forum. They have complete access of the forum and can delete/edit members if they wish. (So try and not anger them. XD) What is a moderator? A moderator can moderate forums depending where they are suppose to be modding. In some forums, there are maybe Global Moderators that moderate the whole forum. But they don't have the same power that admins have.
