How do I
add a picture into my signature on the BringTheBlitz.com community forums?
- Upload your image to http://imageshack.us or an image hosting
website of your choosing. When the image is uploaded, it will give you
a list of different ways to view your image. Copy (highlight and press
control+c) the text in the last line, next to “Direct link to image.”
- At the top of the forum, click the “UserCP” button. From here, click
“Edit Signature.”
- Use the following code, but replace the ___ with the text you copied
before…
- [img]________[/img]
- Press “Save signature.”
Why isn’t my new signature isn’t showing up in my old posts?
- If you did not have any signature when
you made the post, vBulletin forums assume that you did not want one
at that time. There is no way to fix this, unfortunately. Your signature
will show up in all of your new posts and old signatures will be updated
to your new one when/if you change it.
My text
just got huge!
-
This is a common error that has to do with the settings of your web
browser.
- If you are using Internet Explorer, select the “View” option in your
menu bar and go to “text size.” Change it back to “medium.”
- If you are in Mozilla Firefox, select the “View” option in your menu
bar and go to “text size.” Select “normal.”
Mozilla
Firefox just crashed on me. Then it made me make a "new profile."
How do I get my old one back with my bookmarks?
-
Mozilla has a "Profile Manager" program that can be run to
choose which profile you want.
- Copy, paste, and save these steps into a Notepad document because
you will need to close this window to fix things.
1. Close Mozilla Firefox.
2. Go to Start > Run
3. In the prompt, type the following exactly how I have it. firefox.exe
-profilemanager
4. This should bring up the Mozilla Firefox profile manager.
5. Click the name of your lost profile and click "Start Firefox."
* If for some reason this doesn't work and brings up
an error saying that your profile is "locked," you might need
to do a bit more. What's likely happening is that your computer thinks
that your profile is 'locked' for some reason. That's the message I
got, anyway, when my profile wouldn't load. Here's what I did.
1. Close the profile
manager.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Upon startup, go to "My Computer" then choose your "C:"
drive. Now click "Documents and Settings." Choose the name
of your profile (may also be under "All Users").
4. Can you see a file called "Application Data?" If not, your
hidden files are not yet viewable. To enable them, go to "Tools"
at the top of the window and click "Folder Options." A new
window will popup. Click "View." In the scrolldown-area, under
"Hidden Files and Folders," select "Show hidden files
and folders." Click OK.
5. Find "Application Data" and open it. Now open "Mozilla."
Open the "Firefox" folder. Now open the "Profiles"
folder.
6. You should see one or more folders in here named something weird,
then they have the actual name of the Mozilla profile at the end. Mine,
for example, says "a81t5bf3.Nick". Find the profile you want
to use and double click its folder.
7. Inside this folder, check to see that there is no "parent.lock"
file. If there is, delete it.
8. Go back and go through steps 2-6. You should now be able to access
your old profile.
How do
I post pictures on the BringTheBlitz.com
forums?
-
Upload your image to http://imageshack.us or an image hosting website
of your choice. When the image is uploaded, it will give you a list
of different ways to view your image. Copy (highlight and press control+c)
the text in the last line, next to “Direct link to image.”
- In the message area of your new post, use the following code, but
remove the * and replace the ___ with the text you copied before. …
- [img]________[/img]
Why can’t
I change my username on the BringTheBlitz.com forums?
- Bringtheblitz.com
does not allow users to change their username. This is to avoid confusion,
mishandling of information, and other inconveniences.
- If you truly need your username changed, please send a private message
to one of the board administrators. To do this, click the administrator’s
username, which will take you to his or her profile. From here, click
“Send a private message to ___.” This will bring you to the private
message form. Please note that your username is not a top priority.
Why did
I get banned? How long am I banned for?
- Bringtheblitz.com
is fairly lenient when it comes to rules, but the rules we do set in
place need to be followed. Harassing members, spamming, or doing anything
that would be considered highly inappropriate will result in your immediate
banning.
- The length of a ban will be, in general, in ratio to the harshness
of the offense. If this is not your first banning, the punishment may
be more severe.
- If you feel you have been wrongfully banned, please contact one of
the administrators via e-mail. You can e-mail Kliquid here. He will
try to get back to you ASAP.

How do
I become a moderator/administrator on the BringTheBlitz forums?
-
Most, if not all administrators and moderators on the BringTheBlitz
are staff members for the main BringTheBlitz.com website.
- Administrators are kept in a very close group and likely will not
be changed until there is too much work for the current force.
- Moderators can be changed at any time. There are no specific post
total requirements, but the position will be chosen among members who
have been chosen by the BringTheBlitz staff.
How can
I become a member of the BringTheBlitz.com writing staff?
- Though we have a pretty solid staff, we are always looking
for fresh, new ideas and viewpoints. If you feel that you can provide
this for our website, feel free to send a sample article that you wrote
to the BringTheBlitz.com owner, Nick
Caron.
