April = Advice Month 4 me

[aligetreel]

So, i'm working on my advice page once again.

i have a lot of things... if only i could figure out how to get it up on the web. for those of you who know i'm having problems with my site, aliandra.

so anyway, while i'm working on it i might as well ask what are the common questions that you have or had about the IDM Web?

here's what I have so far

how to get an avatar (pic)

add friends to buddy list

instant message

personal messaging (private messaging)

how to change your blurb

how to get badges

how to get points

the automatic points

change intro (guestbook) text

upload images into gallery

ranking images and ranking titles (here's the only problem.. I need help with this one. i know some of the older ones and what they use to be.. but i don't know any of the beginning ones. XD )

wishlist

how to add pictures to your profile

you tube vids

profile counter glitter text...

pic on forum and other forum questions

POTM

change text color, size.. etc

basics of HTML

guestbook's filtered HTML

youtube embeds.. how to change them

how to get rid of advertisements from poqbum.com and other sites.


so.. any suggestions?

[slippingjig]

those are all good i think you pretty much covered it all but you could also put how to do the user search when first started i didnt know where to go thats all i can think of

[slippingjig]

oh yeah i do need help on the last thing geting rid of advertisments from sites

[Bridgey pie]

right i want that avatar thing but i think we kinda solved that problem lol did we?

[aligetreel]

the avatar for the forum is only for forum moderators. XD

ok, to get rid of advertisements....

the first part of the HTML is the actual part that makes the thing work.

the second part is usually the advertisement. it will usually say get your counter at....

here are some examples. i've taken out the HTML tags so you can see it. see the bolded the parts? to get rid of advertisements, get rid of those parts. (i looked at your page so i could know which ones to put up)
