Adding a pic

If you wanna add a pic to your post, there are several ways:
1.) You use a pic you have on your harddrive (I explain it, BUT it's not possible at the moment – you get an error message)
2.) You choose a pic from another website

1.) Adding a pic from your harddrive
– Click “Additional options” below the text field
– Choose “Browse”. You find it right beside the small empty text field after “Attach”
  A new window opens, schowing your harddrive folders
– go to the file, your pics are inside and select the one you want: Take care, it is “gif, png, jpg” all possible fily types are shown below the empty field; also make sure, the pic size is not bigger than 512kb

2.) Select a pic from another website
– The photo has to be on a website. The example I found by using the terms “body painting” in google, then chosed “pics” in search and
  used the  link.

– On the new website, the pic is very small, but very often you can choose “Show full pic” or something similar.

– You get a new website, just with this pic. Then you have to copy the link which is shown in the upper line.
  You can use right mouse button anywhere in the letters, then choose “copy” or mark the line and simultaneoulsy press “ctrl” + “c” on your keyboard.

– In your post use “Insert Image” – the 2nd symbol from the left about the emoticons. You get [im][img]
– Click between ] and [

[/img]To be continued in part 2

Adding a pic, part 2

– Paste the link. Use right mouse button and choose paste or simultaneously press “ctrl” + “v”
– If you made it correct, you can see the link to the pic, not the pic itself. The pic you see, if you now click “Post” or, if you wanna make sure
  everything is fine, “Preview”. If you choose “Preview” you have to click “Post” if you wanna post it!

I don't know, if you can upload pics via FTP Link, I never tried it. Does somebody know?

[Lover]

Adding a pic, part 3

– Another way is, instead of using the link in the headline, to click the pic on the website (right mouse button) and then choose “copy image location”.
  It's the same as copying the link. The rest is the same.

Adding a poll

A poll can be added to every topic. The best is to start a new topic by using “Post new poll”.  You just have to ask yourself some questions before:
– A unique name (the name of the question – it might be helpful, to choose another name as for the subject)

– Message icon: You can leave it “Standard”, but perhaps you wanna change. I for myself like to use the question mark for a poll, so everyone knows it at once. But this is just personal taste.

– possible answers – do you wanna know “yes” or “no” or do you wanna give more choices. There is no reason to choose 5 options.
  You can choose 3, 4… or even an endless number options, but the more yougive the more several answers you get. Is it helpful?

– Choose the poll options.
Standard is 1 vote per user, but you can change if it makes sense.
Run poll for …..  days. You can say, a poll will finish in 7 days e.g. After these days, the poll is closed automatically. If you leave it blank, there is no end. Of course you can close it whenever you want.
Allow user to change vote – if you leave it blank, users are not allowed to chnge their vote. If you set it, they change their vote if they want.

There is a point in “Show the poll's result to anyone”. But you can change it.

– Which option is the best? It depends on your idea. If you wanna make sure, anyone is ready to see the result (even free user and prem, who don't wanna vote or post in this topic) the first is the best choice. E.g. I choose this, whenever I add a poll to ask your opinion about a new position.
 
If you think, it's the best the voter only is allowed to see the reslut after he also voted, choose “Only show the results after someone has voted.”
 
And if you think the best is, not to show any between results, you have to choose “Only show the results after the poll has expired.”
But this just works, if you also wrote the number of days in the field “Run the poll for days. (leave blank for no limit)”
E.g. Tight will use this for the erotic story contest.

Or click here: https://funnyadultgamesplay.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1046;sa=forumProfile

1) Choose personalized picture: Some actors and musicians are given. You can choose the one you want by clicking it. Scroll down and choose “change profile” – that's all

2) Choose “I have my own pic” For this you have to know the path to a picture on an existing website. Copy the link to the pic and paste it into the textbox. If you don't know how to find pics, just read “Adding a pic”. Scroll down and choose “change profile” – done

3) Choose “I will upload my own picture” (contradiction to “Adding a pic” it's possible)
Choose “Browse”. You find it right beside the small empty text field after “Attach”
A new window opens, schowing your harddrive folders

Go to the folder, your pics are inside and select the one you want: Take care, it is “gif, png, jpg” all possible fily types are shown below the empty field. Klick “ok” and your pic is uploaded.
Scroll down and choose “change profile” – your pic now is visible in your forum ava for everyone

Sending a pm (personal message) to another forum member

A pm is a message, which just the addresse is able to read. It's like an email you send, but the addresse just receives it, if he is logging in to this forum.
There are several ways to choose the addresse. The best is to click the small box below his name in a thread. If you move your mosue over this box and then wait for a second, you read: “Personell Message” in brackets you read “Online” or “Offline”
If you click on this box, you get a new page, similar to the page you get if you add a post. The differences:
There is a box “To”     
If you did my way, the addresse is still written. If you wanna add more raddresses, go one fiel below to “Bcc”
Bcc means, all other members you add also get your message – but no one knows of the other. If you don't know the correct name you can click the white on blue !   A new box  opens (make sure, your browser allows pop up) and you can search for the names. If you don't know exactly, you can use wildcards. A wildcard means, you just type 1,2,3, or 4 letters and then add a star (*)
Goto “search” and you get a list of all members including your letters in this order you wrote them. If you want to add someone of this list, just click the name in the list below. This member is added at once.

If you want use a subject, but it's not necessary.

Write your text, then “send message”
If you want to get a copy of your text, activate “Save a copy in my outbox”
That's all

Note:
No matter if the addresse is  online, he just gets the message when he is updating a page of the forum. Then he gets a note in a pop up window “You have received one or more new messages – do you wana read them in a new window?”
Same message he gets if he login after being offline.
You also see it in the red line above the forum path. There will be a number e.g. (1) in brackets after “MY MESSAGES”

Pop up has to be activated!
Go to PROFILE – Personal Message Options – Show a popup when you receive new messages? There has to be a hook in the checkbox

Enable pop ups for AChat in game your browser.

If the member has activated email notifications, he also will get the pm as an email.

A little step back to posting pic on a post:

Adding a pic, part 4

It can happend a pic can be to big and it don't fix on the post size (not sure if max width is 750 or 800, but 750 fit good). so, it can help to resize it whitout modifing it offline. To do it, just have to add  here

[img]link of the pic[/img][img]

this simple code:

[img[/img]width=200]link of the pic[img]

where 200 is the size you wanna set. i can give some hint: for room example, a good size is from 650 or more. for dress we can low it around 400[/img]

How to lock or remvove a topic

You can lock or remove each topic you started. Just one suggestion before you remove something: There has been a good reason for you to start it. Also all other members spent their time and thoughts in answering. So please think twice before you really remove it. If you are not sure, lock it first. Nobody can post, but you keep the chance to unlock it if necessary or after all, to remove it.

Locking a topic
If you wanna lock a topic go to the last post of the thread. If you are the topic starter, you see after last post on the left side two buttons:
“REMOVE TOPIC”    “LOCK TOPIC”

Choose “LOCK TOPIC” and the whole thread is locked at once. Everyone will notice it, cause in the overview there is a locked interlock after the name of the topic. They still can read!

If you wanna unlock it, just click the same button, which is called “UNLOCK TOPIC” after locking.

Removing Topic
Same as before. Go to your last post and click “REMOVE TOPIC”
A warning is flashing “Do you really want to remove…?”
Click “OK” and you are finished. This post and all asnwers are deleted.

Uploading pics to image host websites and add them to this forum

There is no list you can see who is online at the moment. But if you look at the name, underneath it (respectively under the pic, if there is one) you see a white balloon. If this person is online you see a small brighter point inside.

You also can check the profile of a person by clicking the name – the current state is shown there if the person doesn't hide this info.
