Welcome to the FAQ, for general questions regarding using the forum/posting to the forum.
How do I make a link?
You type the address, ie www.google.com. But if you want to have a word be a link to something, type Click (but don't put any spaces.)
How do I post images?
Put![]()
[/img] and put the url of your image in between. Please don't hotlink pictures (Example - Right-clicking, clicking the Properties button, and taking the address off of the screen that pops up.) - this eats up a website's bandwidth and can cause a site to go down. Please upload pictures to a server before posting them here. More info on direct linking can be found here.
How do I quote posts?
There is a button above peoples' posts that says Quote. Click it.
How do I edit my posts?
There is a button above your posts and your posts only that says Modify. Click it.
How do I upload an avatar/signature?
Avatar: Go to Profile, click Modify Profile, and scroll down until you see an address bar with the words "Avatar URL" beside it. Paste the URL of your avatar there, and in the two spaces below it, put 100 in both - that's for the size. When you're finished, make sure to click Modify at the bottom.
Signature: Go to Profile, click Modify Profile, and scroll down until you see a big blank box. This is for your sig. You can only have a certain number of characters, so be careful. When you're done, click the Modify button at the bottom of the page.
What is "karma"?
If a person is exalted, their karma goes up - a sign of a good reputation. If a person is smited, their karma goes down a point. Usually someone is exalted when they've made a good point, posted something helpful, or something else positive. On the other hand, when someone is smited, it's for negative reasons (being rude, et cetera). (Abuse of the smite option will result in a warning or worse.)
