X-treme Guide to GateWorld (for newbies)

[Nolamom]

couple of terms to be familiar with - while thunk is defined in the FAQ, whump is harder to find.

thunk - the sound of a body hitting the floor from swooning after seeing the object of one's affection; posting of pics to cause such swooning
whump - the situations and resulting injuries of the characters, requiring the ministrations of the fan to the adored one
thump/whunk - combinations of the above

Ok a question how can I put a sig on my account I love making them but cant attach them please help

[jelgate]

You can't. You are still on probie status. Probies have no perks. Every little perk the mods have tried to give to probies has been abused by spammers

Indeed Just keep posting, so you get of your probie status and then you'll be able to post your sig! I'm looking forward to seeing yours

Heya! I am a newbie, and I was wondering how you can upload pictures? I tried but I failed, and would like some clear advice. Thanks in advance!

[jelgate]

And you will contiue to fail until you are taken off probie status. Blame the spammers. I do

Actually,posting images is one feature Probies ARE allowed.

The pics have to be checked by the Mods though and if an image is oversized or hotlinked,the tags have to be changed.

What Gegee really needs is help with prechecking and uploading her pics.

I know someone posted a very good walk-through somewhere of how to post to the Forum via PB and imageshack,so I'll try to find the links.

Thanks you so much, Bagpuss! I could really use some walkthroughs at this point.
