Many Questions

Hello everyone.

I am new to the forum, so I didnot get everything right at the beginning. So I have some questions:

1. When a WIP is finished, do you open a new Thread in "Discuss Submissions", or it is enough to post the link in the WIP-Thread.

2. Is there a list of all tags, that you can use? The image-tag I was already told.

3. Is there a list of all smilies? I would like to use smilies...

4. The points system I have understood. But what is this reputation or reputation power? Was is this for?

5. Is there something like tutorial threads? Is there any intrest for tutorials, and how it is possible to post them?

Greetings, Taggi

it's up to you. if you submit it, you may get more criticism in the d.s. section. more votes even

2. Is there a list of all tags, that you can use? The image-tag I was already told.

the tags are in the text editor but you have to go full wysiwyg and the post reply rather than quick reply

3. Is there a list of all smilies? I would like to use smilies...

smilies are in the post reply too

4. The points system I have understood. But what is this reputation or reputation power? Was is this for?

sod knows..you can give rep to people for doing funny stuff or giving comments etc. you can take it away too but i tend to only use the +ve

5. Is there something like tutorial threads? Is there any intrest for tutorials, and how it is possible to post them?

there is a sticky in the painting and conversions section that covers a load of external stuff but there is a tutorials section of the site. one the main page over to the right

Oh, I was going to have a crack at this one once home but Freak beat me to it! Nice one. I'll add a bit anyhow...

1. I've tried posting fresh in the "Discuss Submissions" section upon completing a mini but it felt a bit redundant given the exhaustive nature of my WIP thread! There are plenty of folk who have a new WIP thread per project though and I think in those cases the "Discuss Submissions" is the way to go.

2. I only use the IMG tags, links seem to work automatically. I found out how to use them here http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_faq#faq_vb3_board_usage it's generic FAQ for the message board software rather than CMON specific.

Just to clarify,

User CP -> Edit Options -> Miscellaneous Options -> Message Editor Interface -> Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

3. When you click on the Post Reply button in a thread, to the right hand side is a [More] button under the Smilies. It brings up a full page worth, copyable into a Word document for easy reference if you tend to type your messages out in Notepad ahead of posting (like I do).

4. No idea how the progression works but I give people positives pretty much on a whim really. Doesn't seem to be any harm in it. As best I can tell they are anonymous though, so I often sign mine.

5. As per Freak :)

Good luck, cheers, B.
