F.A.Q.

[ziggy]

In this thread, I'm going to keep a running list of commonly asked questions. I'll add more bit by bit.

How to post Youtube videos.

To post a Youtube video, simply copy the video ID (random jumble of letters and numbers) between the [youtube][/youtube] tags. You can use the youtube buttn added today

It should looks something like this:

What is Reputation and why can't I use it?

Reputation is a way for other users to applaud you for a particularly good post or smite you for a particularly bad post. You can also increase your reputation by using Bobcatsplanet.com in your sig in another forum or by referring new members.
You are only able to award or smite another user once you have reached the 50 post mark.

How do we put pictures on our signature?

In the signature box on your forum profile, you can add an image in your sig by using code like this:

How Do I create links that can be clicked in my post?

This is a common problem, yet isn't as bad as it seems. To do this, use your toolbars on the top above the smiley faces and look for the icon that looks like this:

If you click on that it will insert a line of code into your command that will look like this:

This is how you have items hyperlinked. Here is an example:

How do I change my name on the message boards?

Click on the Profile link at the top of the page and then click on Account Related Settings. You cannot change your original (aka username), which is the name you must use to log in but you can change your display name which will change wherever you post. If you do change your name, you will still need to log in with your own name.

How many posts do I need to move up to the next member group?

Hi Zig! I do have a question. On the profile, what is 'Position'? And on the left side of the screen, you all have players listed... is that your favorite players? Thanks dude!

[ziggy]

They are both related to the number of posts that you've made. Currently you're at Kareem Rush, but it'll change when you get to 50. It moves all the way up the ladder to Emeka at 4000 posts.

Cool, thanks. Another question.... how do I start a thread? And I allowed?

[nckat291]

Never mind........

'New Topic' does the trick. Duh!

Is there a way to change this?



Basically make it so that I don't need to scroll in a small avatar window to see the whole avatar. Make the whole forum viewing area more wide I guess.

Its a small glitch with SMF, I'll clean it up in the next couple of days... That scroll bar has been bugging me as well, but I haven't had a chance to fix it

Alright cool, thanks for letting me know

edit: is there an option for showing 20 replies for each thread page instead of 10?

There is a forum wide option where the replies per page can be set, but it can't be set at the individual user level....

Also, I didn't get a chance to fix that scrollbar issue over the weekend, but it is on my list.

Should be fixed now. Everybody let me know if you have any avatar problems.
