People are always asking the same questions over and over again. Some say the FAQ is too fague for them. So, I thought it would be good to start a thread for those frequently asked questions.
What is "Reputation"? What do those little Green/Grey/Red Boxes mean?
Here at MiceChat, we believe in Self-Moderation. So, we've established the Reputation system to help us out. It works quite easily, in the fact that you can give points on any post.
To give points on a post, click the [img]images/buttons/reputation.gif[/img] button below that post, on the left. From here, a box will pop-up asking if you want to give negative or positive feedback. Select the option you want, and leave a comment, especially on negative reputation posts. Leaving a comment we explain to the user why you thought the post was not up to par. Note that the reputation system is not anonymousbut the Litter Box. So try to get someone to give you some good rep, by posting a meaningful post in there.
If you have -500 Reputation Level Points or more, you are automatically banned.
Note that these rules are not set in stone, and any Administrator may change the banned/Litter User status.
Have fun, and click away!
As far as colors are concered:
Green = Positive Rep
Grey = Netural Rep
Red = Negative Rep
How do I get the Countdown Clock for my sig?
This seems complicated, but it really isn't. You start with the Countdown tags:
[ Countdown=&day=17&month=7&year=2005&hour=5&min=55& sec=55]It's time to party in:[/countdown]
(The space in the opening Countdown tag is in order to show you the code)
Just Put in your date. For, say, May 5 at midnight, it would be:
day=5
month=5
year=2005
hour=0
min=00
sec=00
So you see, all you need to do is change those values for your date. For the text, just type in between the countdown tags.
So our finished result is:
[Countdown=&day=5&month=5&year=2005&hour=0&min=00&s ec=00]The Celebration Starts In:[/countdown]
How do I put images in my post?
All you need to do is place the images URL in between the IMG tags
[ img]http://www.micechat.com/images/statusicon/forum_new.gif[/img]
(Again, the space in the opening tag is in order to show you the code)
or, in the Advanced post editor, just click the Insert Image button
and type your image URL into the popup.
IMPORTANT: Your image must be on the internet in order for you to place it in your posts. Putting a local URL (eg. from your computer) the image will not display. Many free servecies exist to allow you to upload you photos. One of the popular ones is PhotoBucket.
So our uploaded image appears:
Ok, hope that answers some of the lingering questions around here.
