[Unofficial] Forum Basics


Recommended Posts

Many newcomers do not completely understand our forums, and that’s completely fine. This guide is here to answer any questions.

What this guide stores:

  • Insert a picture
  • Edit your signature
  • Change your Avatar
  • Adding a Poll Thread
  • Making a spoiler
  • Changing Title of the OP

Insert a Picture:
[spoiler]The admins of our game decided to disable our ability to directly upload a picture from out computer to this forum. That’s completely acceptable as there could be virus issues. There are, however, alternative ways to upload pictures through a set of easy, but specific steps.

Step 1: Have your picture.
Let’s say I want to upload a simple picture of a Blaziken.

Step 2: Upload it to an image hosting sites.
Common sites include; Imgur, Photobucket, and TinyPic.
ProTip: Do not use FunnyJunk. They’re extremely annoying when posting images.

Step 3: Copy direct link
Most sites have a link on their right side as shown:

Step 3 (Optional/Alternative):
If you’re trying to upload or copy over an image from a different site, you can always right click the actual picture, then select “Open Image in New Tab.” This should work for all modern browsers. Within the URL at the top, you can directly copy that.

Step 4: Pasting it onto a reply
You’re almost done! Click the icon that has a picture of a tree as shown:

Paste the link, click OK, and you’re done!

ProTip: Make sure all images end in “.jpg”, “.png” or “.gif”

Edit your signature: 

[spoiler]At the end of every user's reply you will see a unique signature. This can include almost anything you would like, that is, you don’t break anything from the Code of Conduct, or you don’t go over the set restrictions.

Two simple steps to bring you to your signature editing page.

From there, you have your restrictions (the gray text directly about the edit box) set, edit it to your liking and then you’re done!
