[Kyūbi no Yōko]

When something is unclear to you, I beg you to not directly ask a question in the help sections (Technical Issues and Feedback Forum in a nutshell).

First, you should check the HELP threads (links will be in the end of the thread), many questions are answered there. If you are unable to find the solution to your problem, you can either ask an experienced member so you do not bother the admins since they have a lot of work to do or you can make a thread in the help sections.

The administrators / moderators have a lot of work to do, so to help yourself and save their time, you can just look up for the problem. Again, if you can't find a solution, post a thread here and you'll find what you need.

Common problems :

• How to add a signature?
• How to add an avatar?
• How to add an image in my signature?
• How to make a custom avatar?
• What is reputation?

__________________

• -Signatures can be added in the User Control Panel (User CP). In the left side, there are few tabs and there's a box where it says 'Edit Signature'. Press it and then edit your signature.
  NOTE :
  5 posts (that count towards post count)
  10 Reputation Points
  30 days since account was made
  
  If ANY of those conditions are met, you will be able to have a signature.
  
  
• -To add an avatar, you have to follow the steps of adding the signature, it's basically the same process.
  
  
• -How to earn picture/video rights in signature?
  You should have at least 300+ posts and a good history on the forum.
  Once you meet that requirement, PM (send a message) Maikeru Shinigami or AshenREAPER a picture/video to be approved in your signature. Remember, it must not contain Viz material or any other illegal stuff.
  
  
• -Custom avatars are not allowed, you have a large selection of avatars provided by the forum.
  The only way of earning a custom avatar is by getting elected as MotM (Member of the Month) and you'll have to work hard to achieve that. MotM brings up some other perks as well, one of them being the ability to have a colored username.
  
  
• -Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. So you must give reputation away based on the quality of the post, basically your thought of how good or bad the post is.
  
  Reputation may be positive, negative or neutral.
  Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation can not affect a persons reputation.
  
  The Reputation System
  This thread perfectly explains the reputation system, how much reputation can be given or taken, so take a small part of your time to understand the reputation system better.

From what I heard, we're going to be making the transition to an all Viz site soon, and guides like this are already being redone. If you want to help out, ask Rice to see if he can use you for anything.

But there are already more detailed guides essentially ready to go pretty much as soon as the new site launches. The only thing that it's waiting for it for the new site to be used for the screenshots in the guide. But here's some rep for trying to help people.

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

Oh well thank you.
And I couldn't make a more detailed thread since it'd take too much of my time and I clearly don't have much.

[Shikamaru Nara]

Okay, well this is definitely good until we get the bigger one up.

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

I might make several long threads regarding few problems so that the solution to that certain problem could be clear to even a 6 year old child.

Thanks though.

[Hakuren]

Ahh, so wait. Is SRhyse looking for any help needed on the general Viz forums? I'd love to lend my time to help out as well, even if I don't have very much background history on the forums. However, I do like to expand on that for these type of matters.

[Shikamaru Nara]

You'd have to ask him directly.

[Naruto321]

This thread can be useful to us even if we have the future guides set up already.

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

Thanks Naruto321, oh and I fixed this a bit.

[Yasmine]

Woah! Thanks a lot for the head-ups! This very useful. ^^
