The Ask-a-Mod Thread

[Silh]

Before posting here, please be sure to refer to the FAQ first. This post will also serve to answer any worthwhile questions already asked, and will be modified whenever I see fit. Many questions about recent changes can also be found in the Announcements section, check there first.

How do I close a thread?
You can only close threads if you're a premium member. Until then, ask a mod to close it for you.

I accidentally entered the wrong birthdate when I registered and now I can't change it. What do I do?
Contact me or another administrator with your actual birthdate and we'll fix it for you.

Is it possible to rename my thread?
Yes. In the thread index, double-click on the empty space next to the name of your thread like so:



What do the plus signs next to the user names mean on the Currently Active Members list at the bottom of the forum index?
The plus signs denote who is on your buddy/friend/contact list on the forum.

how do i delete my account everyone here hates me :(
Contrary to what most people usually answer with, there is no way for you to delete your account or have it deleted for you. Administrators can delete accounts, but typically we don't anyway.

I've got more than a thousand posts but my name still hasn't changed color.
Give the forum a while to process it. The forum doesn't pick up on it immediately.

I've still got a notification for a visitor message that I've already read. How do I fix this?
Either delete and restore the message, or wait for the glitch to go away on its own.

Why can't I upload a profile picture?
Profile pictures are no longer available, but an avatar does nearly the same thing.

How do I use spoiler tags?

Spoilers

[spoilers]content[/spoilers]

Spoilers – Alternatively (with title)…

[spoiler=title]content[/spoiler]

[Takuya]

Would someone please add the maximum dimensions for tags in the FAQ?

[Vandread]

We don't really have any set dimensions for tags. So long as your sig space doesn't get obnoxiously large, there's not really any standards for it.

For artist mainly it is anything within 500x500 pixels.

No it's not. I have no idea where you got those numbers from, either.

[Shinkirō]

I was about to say the same thing.

But generally, as I think with other forums, most of them tend to say 500x200, but it really just goes by not taking up your space with a load of crap

this is kind of outdated [like the information desk doesn't even exist anymore]...and seeing as it's a sticky, shouldn't it be, uh, helpful? D:

[Shadow Soldier]

I thought it could be as big as you wanted it to be as long as it doesn't stretch the page...

[Stavvy]

Which in itself is kinda contradictory since not everyone uses the same resolution.

I'd say anything around or below 700xwhatever looks nice is safe. But hey, you'll probably all argue.
