ok, this is my interpretation of a FAQ guide, if this is in the wrong section please could a mod move it elsewhere. If there's something you want quickly but can't find it please type ctrl + f and then type what you want to find and search, it should come up, if not please comment on what it was you were looking for and i'll add it. The reason I made this was to save newbies posting the same topic countless times, so here we go!

4. How do I get the thing below my posts/signature?

 

Go to the user CP below the card maker symbol, then scroll down the menu and click change signature, upload the images or text make sure you use img tags for the images, they should look like this

level 4: Reach 400 posts

level 5: Reach 1000 posts or become a moderator

level 6: Reach 5000 posts or become a super moderator

6. What are points for/how do I get them?

 

Points can be used in various ways, as prizes for competitions, payment for shops or to give to members as a celebration, paying for a request, entry fees for contest or any other means you can think of. You can get points by posting/threads finishing orders in shops, winning contests, completing requests, and any other way you can think of. To give points click your targets username and find how many points they have, then click it and select how many points you want to give and your reason why

 

7. how do you do those click to view things/spoilers?

 

Use this code

[spoiler]example[/spoiler]

it would turn out like this

example

 

you can change the title of the spoiler by doing this

[spoiler=example]example[/spoiler]

which would turn out like this [spoiler=example]example

 

8. What is OCG?

 

No, it's not the Japanese version of TCG, OCG stands for official card grammar, if other members are complaining your OCG is bad there is an official thread about it here

 

9. What is rep/how do I get more?

 

Rep is if you like, a rating system for Yu-gi-oh card maker, if you are a good member, and don't spam, members may give you additional rep, however if you break the rules members may give you negative rep. The Rules and a guide to becoming a good member are located here and here to give a rep click your targets reputation level and then click rate user. you can then select 3 different types of reps, your reason must be valid though!

 

10. How do some people have effects on their names?

 

Well, it depends on the effect if someone has a line through they're name they are banned, if their name is in italic then that person hasn't registered their account through email yet. If their name is bolded then they are a moderator.

 

11. What is a moderator or super moderator/how do I become one?

 

Moderators are user who have proven themselves to be useful around the thread they moderate. Moderators are chosen by Falling Pizza or YCMaker. They have abilities that normal users do not like editing posts, locking threads, banning users and stickying threads, the also have access to mod only threads.

 

12. What is the warning level below my reputation level?

 

The warning level is something only you and mods can see, everytime you break a rule you will recieve a warning, depending on how serious it was your warning level will be raised, if it reaches 100% you will be banned temporarily, if you continue to reach 100% you will be permabanned, if you make more than 1 account and break the rules continuously you will end up getting I.P banned meaning you cannot access YCM using your I.P address.

 

13. How do I upload images to my cards?

 

There are multiple ways of doing this, but I will be telling you the standard, convient and probably most basic method of uploading images, first find the image you want, the sites I recommend searching are www.google.com www.deviantart.com and www.photobucket.com once you've found the image you want make sure it is in full-screen and then right click > properties, then find the image location and copy/paste it into your Picture URL and then generate the image,

note: If the image is copyrighted you will need to get permission from the artist to use it, you must give image credit for the images you use and this is where this method is convinient, you simply have to copy/paste the text from the picture url into your post and state it is the image credit for your card.

 

14. How do I upload my card in a post?

 

Never use attatchments, simply click on the card and it will upload to imageshack, then copy the code that appears below the card and paste it into your post.

For the method, and probably the easiest way you will need a render, see above and ms paint. First, go to file > open and select your background, then go to edit > paste from and select your render, post the render onto the background make sure the render is still selected then find the picture with the cylinder circle and cube, select the transparent version (the one where the cube isn't on a white background) and your render is now on a background, then resize and feel free to mess around as you wish, I will add images later

This is probably because your signature is too large, so a mod will have changed it, it's nothing to worry about it's still there :)

Spoilers can be used for various things, mainly in shops to reveal order forms/merchandise/etc. you can use spoilers to reveal things as well as just spice up your text. If images/text is too large then it may halt the whole page from loading or just obstruct the users way, thus giving the option to put it into a spoiler. You can use spoilers anywhere it seems right or convenient.

you should add Chaotix's Dark Synchro tut for it instead of giving a link to the Tutorial section,it can be easily adapted into GIMP with some knowledge.

http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-76499.html

 

if i am not mistaken,you haven't add the "How do i make ______ and it isn't in the FAQs?"

the answer should probably be like,search the tutorial section with the search function with keywords of what your looking for,then manual search the first 3-5 pages before posting a thread about it.
