Got a question about the forum - post it here

[nskinnear]

There's only one, and that's Deadpool.

[gta0004]

Is it possible to view my profile like other people see when they click on my name? gets tiring going all the way to the members list.

question: is there, or are there any plans to add a table tag to posts?

some copied tables really turn out bad when copied into VB where it automatically removes space, and a table tag would just be dead convenient i think.

[Fergus2k8]

im a little confused about the levels, experience and the skill points and the shop

could someone explain to me?

and the games in the shops are they actual flash games or what?

[spizzle420]

not really a question, just wanted to say, finally, 25 posts, now I can post my bluray problems :p

you get a certain amount of experience points for every post that you make on the forums.
the number of posts + the number of days = your experience
the points can then be used in the shop to buy icons for your profile
alternativley you can use the points to request something such as a custom signature from the design squad.
and the games are not actual games persay as much as just icons of the game.

hope that helped

i agree though i think it'd be easier to just link to the table wouldn't it?

but yeah if i were you id ask one of the mods about it

[Fergus2k8]

oh ok and how i give someone rep

[SymphonyX]

oh ok and how i give someone rep

Click on the blue button on the bottom right hand side, of the post you want to rep.

[gta0004]

It looks like the rep sign right above your avatar. Its on the bottom right side of the post.

[Fergus2k8]

right thank you 2 and i gave u 2 reps now :D

[Fergus2k8]

Points per thread view: 0.01
Points per reply: 0.1

is that when someone replies/views your thread or when you reply/view someones thread?

[ball3r_42]

Points per thread view: 0.01
Points per reply: 0.1

is that when someone replies/views your thread or when you reply/view someones thread?

I belive it is both things you said, however to make things a bit more clearer, you get skill points when someone "replies/views" to the thread you created. Although if you "reply/view" another person's thread, they will get skill points. So when a person replies in your thread you get 0.1SP and you get 0.01SP when someone views your thread.

[-PuReOwNaGe1994]

I have two really.

If i order the one year subscription at $19.99 does that come out at £10 ?

Also do you get double skill points if your a sub ?

Im gonna be a sub tonight :D

(My parents are on holiday so this is free for me basically using their account;)):lol:

[nskinnear]

I don't know if it's double SP, but you do get more. And you also get a section that ordinary members can't see . Not sure about the first question though.

[-PuReOwNaGe1994]

Im saying if i buy a 1 year it says its $19.99 is that Ten Pounds ?> (£10)

[nskinnear]

Oh, well then yeah, I guess so :)

[thatonekid]

I don't know if it's double SP, but you do get more. And you also get a section that ordinary members can't see . Not sure about the first question though.

just kinda curious... whats in this special section for subscribers only?
or is it some really big secret that i need to subscribe to first before i can know about it?

[nskinnear]

It's just a section that when you post in you get a lot more SP I think. Not sure what's in it though. It's a great mystery to us non-subscribers, lol.

[thatonekid]

alright thanks man this might just end up making me subscribe bc this not knowing is killing me

[joeshmo197]

wat are they it says i cant post in clan forums because i dont have 25 of them

[nskinnear]

It means that you need 25 posts before you can post there. This is to keep away spammers and what not.

[MadK3]

Where can I find the points distributed when making a post/viewing a thread/making a thread/etcera?

Thanks.

Check in this thread mate and read the first post. It will give you the answer to your question.

[GazM]

Is there a Northern ireland flag for our profiles?

[gta0004]

Is there a Northern ireland flag for our profiles?
Scroll through the flags section in you control panel and look. If there is there is, if not not.

[GazM]

Theres NI - I think that would be Nigeria

then theres England, Scotland And Wales, I find it quite unfair that there is no Northern Ireland

hmmm, I would suggest sending a message to AJe. He is an admin and can add it i think.

[boredwiththis]

How do you post a forum? For I have lots of questions to ask!

[AJe]

You need to make 25 posts before you can make a thread.

If they are PS3 related questions you can post them here http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=31103

Thank you, but it wasn't in this thread! It was here (http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=33467)! Thanks though! :)

Why is there no rule against posting oversized pics that make the whole page wider than my screen?

[domystevens]

Are you allowed to talk about PS3 hacking or modding on this forum?

[IWAO]

I think yes... As long as you don't advertise something here. And it must not be so much, or else so will there happen something very bad.

[thatonekid]

correct me if im wrong but i think if you wait like 1 minute it automatically resizes it to the normal forum width

[tarnmark@btinte]

can any one tell me how i get my surround sound to work with my ps3 ?

[thatonekid]

can any one tell me how i get my surround sound to work with my ps3 ?

you might be better off posting that over here
http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=48595

but let me see what i can do
1. if your using a pre set up home theathre system. Ex.) DVD player with surround sound then you can just unplug the DVD player and plug in the PS3 in its place and that should work.

2. if that doesn't work then ask in the above thread or maybe someone else here knows

[AJe]

Are you allowed to talk about PS3 hacking or modding on this forum?

Talking of methods or promoting it are not allowed.

[thatonekid]

umm quick question.
whats the size limit for a signature?

[AJe]

Straight from the rules section:

For Junior and Regular Members the max sig size is:

500 pixels (wide) by 120 pixels (high) and no larger than 35KB.

[gta0004]

Do i get less points per post as i level up or something? Taking forever to get to 500sp.

[thatonekid]

no i think you still get the same amount of points per post

how come you need to have +500 posts to be able to view the gamesharing thread?

[nskinnear]

@thatonekid - Because people used to scam other people while gamesharing. Having 500 posts first is a way to prevent that.

[AJe]

You get the same amount of points regardless of level, you don't get points in the general chit chat though.

The 500 post minimum is because we had a lot of new member scammers trying to gameshare.

i don't want to argue this to death but couldn't we be allowed to just view the section, but not post in there?

[gta0004]

Oh, must be just me then.

[AJe]

i don't want to argue this to death but couldn't we be allowed to just view the section, but not post in there?

No because the scammers would know who to PM then.

[thatonekid]

oh good point well ill just work my way up to 500 posts then

[Fergus2k8]

Use the tags

You need to upload those pictures to an image sharing site such as:

www.tinypic.com
www.imageshack.us
www.photobucket.com

and the list goes on!

Thank you!:mrgreen:

Go to User CP, on the side there should be Edit Options, Scroll down to thread display and select Linear - Oldest First. Then scroll to the bottom and click Save Changes.

[AkumaMax]

Thank you very much gta0004. I don't see how I could miss that last night.

[nskinnear]

I have a question: How does one get to be a Shop Clerk? I've always been curious of that. Is there a certain criteria that is judged or is it just a position that one would have to express their interest in, then an Admin would appoint them?

Since there is only one person as a shop clerk, i guess the criteria is really hard.

But you won't be getting there any time soon.;)

[nskinnear]

Since there is only one person as a shop clerk, i guess the criteria is really hard.

No, I looked under forum leaders and there was like four or five shop clerks, but Deadpool was the only one with the Orange username ( although it's blue now :) )

I was just curious anyway...

[Torres]

But i looked under Forum Leaders aswell and in Administrators there where about 4 people who have never been on this site before.

Why is that???

[gta0004]

They prolly help make the site and change it around.

[Admiral]

I looked and couldn't find the answer to my question, if you sell an icon, you get all 1,000 points back right?

[IWAO]

Yes that's right. Just go ahead and do that, if you need those 1000 SP's!

[nskinnear]

Yes, but it's probably better to trade it if it's sold out at the store. That way, you can make a profit. But yes, you get your 1000 points back if you sell it back. (except for the free ps3forums one)

[Torres]

Yeah,because the PS3Forums one is free so you dont get any points.

[Admiral]

Well I bought an icon and wanted to get a different one in the store instead. Ok thanks guys.

[Torres]

Do you all reckon i should give my icon back to the shop?
I know i wont get any points but do you reckon i give it back to the shop?

[gta0004]

I really need some icons,do you all reckon i should give my icon back to the shop?
Its a free icon so you won't get any money from selling it.

[nskinnear]

Do you all reckon i should give my icon back to the shop?
I know i wont get any points but do you reckon i give it back to the shop?

Just post and get points. Don't spam up the forums though. You can get points pretty easily. I have like 18,000 in the bank.

But don't sell your icon because it was free :lol:

[Torres]

Yeah ok,thanks for your opinion nskinnear.

[nutters657]

im new and i was wondering how do you get the pictures under your writing?

[gta0004]

Go to user CP, on the site you will see the option "Edit Signature". Click on that and post whjat you want in the little box. To put up a pic, you need to put [ img][/img ] tags around it without the spaces. Unless it already has them.

[ToonAssassin]

go to usercp at the top of the page and wait for it to open, and then click edit sig (or avatar), then you can insert pics from your pc or photobucket style sites ;-)

[greenarmy778]

hi guys u all ok just wondered how i join a fifa league

Also, your current sig is way over the limits.

Should do. Never tried personally.

[gta0004]

oh well. No point in making an album of blurry pictures.

[Torres]

Lol.nutters doesnt have a sig yet.
So his sig is'nt over the limits.

[gta0004]

Lol.nutters doesnt have a sig yet.

He does have a sig and his sig is over the size limits. The limit for members is 500x120. Hate that rule

[Torres]

I cant see his sig,is it still there or has it been removed?

[TheBengaliKid]

can any one tell me how i get my surround sound to work with my ps3 ?


Buy an optical cable and connect it from yo receiver to the back of your ps3.
Then on your receiver change the function to SAT/CABLE. Hope that helps :D

[gta0004]

I cant see his sig,is it still there or has it been removed?
Its still there. Can you see my sig or someone elses sig? You may have disbaled the option to see sigs.

[Torres]

No i have'nt,i can see your sig gta.
Its a Gears Of War sig.
And i can see everyone else's eccept nutters.

[gta0004]

Dunno why, i can see his GTA sig just fine.

[Torres]

That is just weired. :confused:

[WuTangBlade]

How can I have .gif images for my Avatar?? Is it possible? It never seems to work, can someone explain.

Thanks.

[Torres]

In option two in your avatar section don't you go on Browse and you should see all the images you have saved on your computer and you just pick one and that'll be your avatar, is that what your trying to say?

[WuTangBlade]

I try that but the image never moves, it's just a picture.

[Torres]

What do you mean it never moves and it is just a picture?

[gta0004]

What do you mean it never moves and it is just a picture?
A .gif is an animated sig/avatar. He is saying when he uploads it to his avatar, it doesn't move

I do not know why that is tho, on another forum one time i did that, it didn't move and later i tried again, and it did. Weird
