ITopic: New user FAQ

[blocks]I've been looking in the forums lately, and most people that have very few posts are asking questions like "How do you get a signiture?" Or "What's a Forum Mod?" Look no further to have these questions answered! Because this is NEW USER FAQ!!!!
FAQ:
"How do you get a signature?"
1.Under where it says "Scratch Forums" near the top of the screen, there is a selection that says "Profile" click on that.
2. After step 1, go to "personality"
3.Make your sig!
"What is a Forum moderator?"
A forum moderator is a person who makes the forums safer, and has a bit of athority in the forums. They tell people what to do, and what not to do. If you don't listen to one, you could get banned from the forums for a certian ammount of time. So you could also call them "Forum Police"!
"How do you become a forum moderator?"
You become a forum moderator by waiting for them to ask you. Don't ask to become one, because that makes them not want you as a forum mod. Be active in the forums, and help people out. Then, who knows? They might ask you!
"How do you get a picture in your signature?"
For this,you have to do some coding. [img](place the website URL of the picture you want here.)[/img]
"How do you start a thread?"
1. Go to the topic that you want your thread in.
2. Click on "Post new topic"
Note:You cannot add topics in the annoucements section, that is for The scratch team, and scratchrs.
Note: The picture you want must be uploaded to the internet! Here are some sites that you can upload on-- www.tinypic.com www.photobucket.com If sombody makes it for you, they put it online themselves, and generally include a code.If they dont, just click on the picture. It will usually take you to the URL.
"How do you change scenes?"
switch to costume[
Thats all for now! Tell me what you think and if you want me to answer anymore questions!
Note:You now have to be in the forums for 15 days before you're sig can be displayed.

Hi, I'm glad you asked! (Seriusly, I'm really, really bored.) You can't really get an animation, you have to get a moving thing, that isn't quite an animation. A signature is what shows up under all of your posts after you get 51 posts.
Hope that helps!

I think us mods can add topics to the Announcements forum too... Which is kinda weird, Imho. xP


http://i52.tinypic.com/5es7t0.png I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>
