I'd like to know what that requirement is. I mean, I've seen a couple of users who have been here for a couple years, but with single digits in posts that have been able to put a link in their signature.

Seems like I was right about the new user part. Adding links to signatures just unlocked for me today, which is roughly a month since I signed up.

I followed the instructions to upload a picture but none of them have shown up. It said that it worked and that it would take two minutes or so to upload but it has been a while and they have not appeared yet. The picture for my profile has worked but not for adding pictures into my costume section. Also do you know how to size down a photo to 200x200 without cropping it a lot. That's what I had to do to get my profile picture but I was curious if there is a way to shrink a photo.

packook, the sites been having issues with the remodel and all, shrinking the photos (which ill tell you how to do, will help you in both problems.

with me, i use photos send from my phone, and they are too big to be put on here so i have to resize them.
to do this, open any computer drawing/painting program and upload the picture into the program (i use MS paint) then theres a resize option. click that, then itll ask how much % you want to shrink or grow it. it starts at 100%, then if you type 50 itll shrink it to half the size. if you type 150, itll blow it up half a size bigger then it is (200 doubles the size, etc)
try making the pix smaller and re uploading them.

now on to the 200x200
most pictures you take will not be a square, 200x200 in a perfect square, you have no choice but to crop. you can crop to whatever size you want to start out. say your piture is 520x700. crop it to 520x520, then use the resizing to make it smaller, go little by little, and use the "properties" option (usually found in the file dropbar) and itll tell you how many pixels it is. once it says 200x200 pixels, thats what you want.

Hello there everyone, sorry for being a total newb, but I'm curious if there's a post number requirement/etc that has to be met in order to be able to edit your forum posts? I made a post for Gintama gathering AX 2013, but just realized I can't edit my posts, it's really kind of a hassle to add names...

JasonTerror · 07-10-2012, 10:16 PM

i dont remember that being a thing..admin may have changed that though..

Hi I have a question~

I replied to someone in a thread about a day back (or two? I can't remember....), is there a way to see what post of mine has or hasn't been approved?

Akune-chan · 08-19-2012, 07:02 PM

How do you add more photos to a costume that you already listed? D:

I tried the Edit Costume thing and I cannot see where for the life of me.

JasonTerror · 08-19-2012, 10:01 PM

Hover over where it says photos and click upload photos in the drop menu, then choose the costume and upload

I feel incredibly stupid

Thank you

No you shouldn't. I mean there use to be an upload photos area in plain sight..so now that they changed everything it's all weird..It took me like a week to figure it out on my own..

I would like to ask how long it takes for a new member's posts to show up? I tried to start a new thread on Tuesday, 5 days ago, and it still hasn't shown up. The FAQ said that mods check the queue for approval 2-3 times a day, so it seems pretty weird that my thread hasn't yet been posted. Then I found a post where someone said it had taken them 30 hours to see their post, but that's still only a fourth of my current 120 hours...

I'd like to be able to post without wondering if I've actually hit the wrong button and never posted at all (which isn't the case). I also tried to write a reply to a thread, and for a moment my post showed up, then vanished from the thread. Is this normal? Am I just too impatient?

Here's hoping this post actually shows up.

i'm trying to delete a costume and i don't see a trash can icon like it says should appear when you are in the edit costume part.

Go to 'costume administration' and there you can find the trash can icon.
