- New "Non-content" Forums
So let us shed some light first, before explaining the new forum, on what forums are really made for. Forums are made for posting comments or conversations via. chatting or LIVEchat. This is not supposed to be all based on videos and pictures, that's what the Facebook page is for, so don't feel the constant need to add attachments to your posts. You can if you please, just know that all forums don't need attachments, just write your opinion and link or anything you please!
Anyways, the new "Non-Content" forums labeled "Nopony" allows everypony to post non pony related content or ideas or conversations without penalty. Community asked, we answered. Also, new sub forums for this new "Non-content" forum will be added for pictures and videos. Keep asking and suggesting and we will do our best to improve.
- New Spam Handicap
Just to be sure nopony abuses our Bits reward system, new spam handicaps have been implemented, to reduce the inconsistent post counts. You will now not be allowed to spam posts to raise post count. Rules are also being developed to agree to Pre or Post registration, this will include a Spam rule you must agree too.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-FAQ-
1. How do I post something??
A: You may post a new thread (thread basiclly stands for conversation) by looking at the top right corner of the screen near the blue line, the text should appear as "New Thread" or something very similar. Once you have clicked that, fill out all the fields that you wish (Subject and Message required) and the click "Post Message". The Subject will be shown within the catagory you posted in, tells poeple the general idea of the coversation, and the message will be the first read-able reply when a pony opens the thread.
2. How do I post a picture?
A: To post a picture, you must first create a thread. You can do this by reading question no.1. When you are filling out all the fields/blanks for your thread, go up to Attachment, then click "Choose File" (note: you can only post one picture at a time!) once you have chosen the file from your computers picture gallery, click submit (or double click the picture) and the file name will appear next the the "Choose File". I have uploaded a sweet Minecraft wallpaper as an example.
3. How do I post a YouTube video?
A: This one is quite easy, get the link of the page the video is on, copy it, as paste it in the "Message" area of the post. Highlight what you just pasted and click the "Tube" Ploton under tags. That's it!!
4. How do you get that cool picture beneath every post??
A: The 'cool picture' beneath my, or anouther ponies, every post, is called a Signature. A signature is a text or picture that will show beneath your every post, like your name under a letter. To ad one to your profile follow these simply step by step instructions:
1: Go to "Profile" labeled on the topmost bar on every page.
2: Click "Modify Profile"
3: Go down to signature
Now you have two option, one is just write a text saying a quote or statement, but if you want a picture, keep reading.
4: Find the URL of the image you want (make it small, try searching "enter pony here" signature on Google, and fin the URL for the image.
5: Type "[/img]
6: Click between the lines and paste the url of the small picture signature, and scroll down to save. (example: "http://...rest of url...[/img]")[/b]
5. How do I change the forum theme?
A: Again, go to "Modify Profile" and scroll down to "User Preferences" or something similar. Use the drop down menu for the forum theme and choose the one you wish to appear every time you log on with that account.
