Forum FAQ

[sangiro 26]

Heya all,

I've taken a first swipe at creating a Forum FAQ. The link is in the top navigation bar. Please take a look what's in there and refer new people there when you see a question asked that's answered in that file.

I'll keep on evolving the FAQ and create versions for the other sections of the site as well. Thanks all!

How about adding "What is 'post whoring' and what are the top ten reasons not to do it?"

Ok - if that FAQ just helped you figure that out then you just made my day!

How about modifying the Forum Rules post to say:
"Search(and read the FAQ) before you ask"
or something to that effect.

Yeah, I was just looking at the FAQ and saw the question on "How do I display an icon by my post" and I probably saw it when I first registered but didn't pay that much attention. So I decided to give it a try and had a co-worker take my pic with my pumkin hat on today and it took some doing to get it to the right size and everything, but voila I have a picture by my posts! Yes, I think the FAQ is very helpful.

Well, I used paint to crop it and shrink it down (using stretch and attirbutes) but then I couldn't save it as a jpg so I saved it as a bmp and then opened it in microsoft image composer and resaved it as a jpg.

Tooooo easy use a print shop and crop it. It must be no bigger than 65 by 75 pixels and no larger than 9.72? MB. OH it must also be saved as jpeg.

I did not use the f-word and you can't make me. But if you're a good boy I might give you a beer anyways.

I had to do it the hard way because I don't have fancy stuff like print shop. Not here at work anyways.

I don't think the size (widthxheight) matters - mine was 120 across when I saved it, didn't have a problem. it does need to be less than 10 Kb though and jpeg format

Weeee...I got it working. I was also finally able to get a picture of my first tandem down to decent size and put it in the gallery. This is way too much fun.

Thanks for the help and suggestions, both here and in PM's.
