Hello and welcome to the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page!!
Here, I will be answering common questions we often get here on the site!
If you still have any problems, or if you have a different question, please don't hesitate to ask me or another staff member on the site by PM.
I hope this helps!!
Under the theme's banner (At the very top), you'll see a link/button that says "profile". Click that, then you'll see a link that says "Modify Profile". Click that, then scroll down a bit until you see the title "Personal Information". Just a little bit below that, you'll see a box with "Avatar:" written next to it. In that box, paste the direct link of your image.
The image can be any size, but the site will automatically shrink it down to 65x65 pixels.
Even if your image is 100x100 pixels or not. But don't worry, there's a way to fix this!
Right under the box where you pasted your direct link to your avatar, you'll see 2 boxes titled "Avatar Width:" and "Avatar Height:". Simply type in 100 in the "Avatar Width:" box and 100 in the "Avatar Height:" box. And there you have it! You can also put it in other sizes. But remember, the max size for your avatar is 100x100 pixels.
Go to the same settings where you uploaded your avatar. You'll see your signature options are right below your avatar one's.
Your signature can only be 400 words max. It will delete any text that goes over that limit automatically.
You can post any image, link or text you want. Just make sure that it does not violate any of the sites rules.
If you are unsure on how to add images, links, etc. please keep scrolling down this page until you find the right explanation on what you are looking for.
Right underneath everyone's avatar, you'll see an icon that looks like this;

To add 's, simply write this code;
Just replace the "DIRECT LINK HERE" with your link.
Tip 1; Direct links are links to an image. For example, when you search on Google, and you click "view full sized image" and you see a white background with only the image on it? That's a direct link.
To get your own direct link, first you must join a free image hosting site. Like Photobucket or ImageShack, etc.
Once you've joined, upload your image. Then when it's done, go to your image, and you'll see some codes/text in a box. Choose the one that says 'direct link'.
Once you've done that, you can now replace the "DIRECT LINK HERE" with your own link!
Tip 2; If you've already got the image uploaded somewhere else, here's what you can do instead.
If you're using Google Chrome, simply right click on the image and click "Open image in new tab".
Now go to that tab and copy the URL.
Note!: Sometimes using this method wont work on certain sites where the image is hosted.
Like pixiv and Zerochan don't allow hotlinking. (Taking their direct link)
To add video's, simply write this code;
Just replace the "YOUR VIDEO LINK HERE" with your desired link.
Note; To add your link, go on Youtube.com and search your desired video. Once you've done that, copy the URL at the top and paste in between the two tags.
To add a bullet list, simply write this code;
And replace the "YOUR TEXT HERE" with the text you want.
Note; The number of stars (*) are the number of bullets you have. You may add or remove some. Just put a "[/li][li]" when making a new bullet point.
To add a line (like the ones we have throughout this post) simply write this code;
Just put it wherever you'd like to put it. (Above your text or below)
To add a code box (like the one below), simply write this code;
Just remove the "YOUR CODE/TEXT HERE" with your own.
Please note, that in a code box, you can type in a code and it will NOT be activated. HOWEVER, spoiler tags seem to still be activated even when the code box is in use.
To align your text (left, right, centered or preformatted text) simply write this code;
Just remove the "YOUR TEXT HERE" with your own.
To add a a tittle for your link, simply write this code;
Just replace the "http://SITEURL/" with your desired URL and replace "YOUR SITE NAME HERE" with your desired title.
To add, simply write this code;
Just replace "YOUR TEXT HERE" with your own.
Also, please note! That the quote box isn't the same as the code box. In the quote box, codes WILL work. Like bold, italic, etc.
No. Unfortunately, HTML codes wont work on this site.
To add a
Simply replace "YOUR TEXT HERE" with your desired text. And remove the spaces between the brackets. Note, codes WILL be activated. And please do use these if you want to post many images at once. So that the loading time does not take as long.
Please, if any of these still don't make sense, please PM me or any other staff member here!
