Using the Forum
Q: What are karma points?
A: Karma points are a feature of the forum and members can give them out to congratulate someone for reaching a new rank, beating a tough layout, sharing a tileset, etc. You give someone a karma point by clicking the "Exalt" link under a member's name. After you give out a karma point you have to wait for karma to regenerate, it's usually takes about an hour before you can give out the next karma point. It's a fun thing to do, so have fun with them!

Q. How do I insert a picture in a post?
A. First you need to upload your picture to an online photo album. We recommend www.photobucket.com, it's a good site and registration is free. Once you have uploaded your picture, simply copy the full contents of IMG: and paste it into your post here. If it's too big you can resize it in photobucket and try again. A good format is 50% of the original size with photos. Maximum width of an image is 550 pixels.
