How do i change my Avatar/Signature?

Click on your User CP (next to the Log Out button)

> On the left of your screen is a side bar that says "Menu", go down to the section that says "Your Profile".

>Then choose either option you want, "Change Avatar"(bottom of the list), "Change Signature" (second to last), "Change Password" (third to last), changing your email, as well as editing your profile, (which allows you to change your banner, the saying under your User Namer, next to your posts)

 

What are Post Count and Points/Reputation for?

Post Count is to show how many times you have posted a comment, it also raises you member level (ex: 1 star>2stars>3stars, etc..)

Points, you get points everytime you post, or make a thread. Members can also donate points to you, and you to them (this will be discussed later on) You can also win points in contests.

Reputation is to signify that you can be trusted, and that you follow the rules. Now you can increase your reputation level, by being nice, and helping others, as well as win contest. But you can also have your reputation level decreased, if you do not follow the rules, and if you spam (spaming, is when you post comments that are either, offensive, or not related to the subject of the thread.) (giving a reputation will also be discussed later on)

 

How do I give points?

Giving points is quite simple. Just click on the users name, that you wish to donate points to. This will take you to his/her profile. Now in the profile, on the right side of your screen, you will that users amount of points, and next to that, it will say profile]"Donate". Click on that, and type in the amount of points you wish to donate, and the reason for why you are donating points to this user. It is also possible to give a member points by clicking on the number of points below a members name in a post.

 

How do I give a Reputation?

Giving reputation is quite simple as well. Just click on the users name, that you wish to add a reputation to. This will take you to his/her profile. Now in the profile, on the left side of your screen, you will see the users reputation points, click on "Vote". This will open up a second window, where you will choose the type of reputation you want to give, and where you will type the reason for giving it. It is also possible to give a member a Reputation by clicking on their Reputation level under their name in a post.

 

What is the report button for?

The report button is there, so the members of YCM can help the moderating team, sort out spam, offensive material, and when a thread needs to be locked or moved. To report a thread or post, just click the "Report" button at the bottom of that members post.

 

How can I print my created cards?

 

1. Make sure the card(s) you've made are saved in an easy-locatable place on your hard-drive.

 

2. Try to print Nine (9) cards at the same time on one A4 sheet, so open them all up in a program such as Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Publisher, and leave a gap between them, so it is easier to cut later.

 

3. Make sure that every card has the dimensional width of:

2.3125 inches and a hight of 3.375 inches,

or a width of 5.9 Centimeters and Hight of 8.6 Centimeters.

 

4. Make sure you have an A4 size printer. Buy some "Photo Paper" or "High Gloss Paper" and set your printer settings compatible with the paper.

 

5. Print it off, in High-Definition. Make sure it is HD, because it can easily get messed up otherwise.

 

6. Time to cut out. Get a very sharp knife, and a ruler (scissors will also do, but a knife can be more accurate), place the ruler up against the edges of the card, and cut out!

Note: Guillotines can also be used (not the head-chopping off ones...).

 

7. Check the thickness of your card. If it seems the same thickness of a real card, just print the back of the card onto the, well, back of the card. If not, you can print off another sheet with card-backs on, and stick them together.

What is a Synchro Monster? and what does it do?

Synchro Monsters are a new Type of Monster Card to be released in Starter Deck 2008. The color of their card frame is white. These cards are included in the Fusion Deck.

 

Synchro Monsters require Tuner Monsters to be Summoned. When the total Level of the Tuner monster and the other monsters on your field matches the Synchro monster's Level, by sending them to the Graveyard, you can Summon the Synchro monster. Tuner Monsters can be Effect Monsters or Normal Monsters.

 

"Tuner" is the first secondary Type for Normal Monsters.

 

What is a Sub-Type? and how do I create one?

[spoiler=Sub-Type][align=center]Hello and welcome, now before you say anything about this tutorial, I know there have been quite a few of these in the past, however I decided to give this a shot myself. But first thing to note is that only after starting this tutorial did I realize before that in which I spent several minutes cutting out text that I didn't actually need to do so, but anyway this tutorial was done in MS Paint and that just shows how easy this is to do, anyway let's move on and get into things.

 

1st Step: Okay so first of all, before we really get down to anything you will need to start off by creating two versions of your card, I do suggest you save both versions to your computer so you can then edit them in MS Paint. These two versions must include a "Typeless" version and then a version with your card's type, here is my two versions below.

Part1-1.pngPart1-2.png

 

2nd Step: Okay now here is where things get slightly tricky, well they could do at least. What you will need to do is go to the card image that has your card's type on it and highlight that area and also include the outer rim of the card text box just for aligning purposes make sure to only go to the end of the sub-type, in this tutorial that would be to the end of the I in Gemini, this is show below.

HighlightedArea.png

 

You will then need to copy that and then paste it in the correct alignment on your "Typeless" card image, this may be quite difficult if you aren't very good with this sort of thing, hopefully you won't have any real problems with this, but just in case you can see this below in my example.

Part2-1.png

 

3rd Step: Okay here comes the last part of this short but effective tutorial. You will now need to take the "]" that is in your card image that contains your card's type, you will need to cut out a bit of the orange or other colour so that you can place this at the end of your card's type, below is what the finished product should look like.

Part2-2.png

 

And that pretty much raps this tutorial up, I wish this could have been longer and not looked so untidy, but I do hope this has helped someone out there a tiny bit, also this isn't limited to Effect Monsters you can do it on any kind of card it will just follow the same principle, I may eventually end up making a "Card Frame Coloring" tutorial but until then enjoy this tutorial!

title change? It's a little redundant

 

Nah, not really, One title for people who can read syncronyms(and those who can spell) and one for those who can't, no one said anything about it saying what its suppose to say ;).

But Ill tell you something, what is stupid is that they still haven't placed this in, Questions & Help. >_>

Hi' date=' I just came here from deviantART and am very shocked to find the site listed as a resource site for images. The majority of images on deviantART are copyrighted to the artists who upload them, and it is not a free image site. Neither is google or photobucket. I, and the artists at deviantART, would very much appreciate deviantART being taken off the list of sites to get images from, and perhaps a stricter rule of requiring members to list where they got their images would help prevent copyright infringement.

 

Thank you :)

[/quote']

 

This is why I enstated the new Rule about image credits, and why I am enforcing them. But, from what I know, Google, Photobucket, and even DeviantART, isnt a restricted site as to which to get images from. The only thing that I believe would fit into that category, is that you cant sell other peoples images from DA.

But, I would however, like to speak to you one on one, if that is possible, and if I can ever get a hold of you.

I've got an uncommon question(s) about Point Calculation.

 

I've noticed that the more I post' date=' the more points I get [u']per[/u] post.

 

Is there a mathematical equation for it?

What, specifically, determines the amount of points I get per post/thread?

Do I get a certain amount of points for doing something specific?

 

ok

well you get 1 point per post

and 2 points per thread ^_^

i suggest you add "how do i post sets." and "Why does my thread get locked" here because they are getting common also.i think the answers are:

"how do i post sets?" you put all the cards in one thread

[img=example card][img=example card#2]

"why does my threads get locked?" PM a mod about it,if you don't know which mod locked your thread,check the forum team near the bottom in the index page and PM a super mod or a mod that moderates that section.

Wow this was really helpful I could never find the Rep button :D but 1 question. How about bullet points for cards?

 

EDIT

 

Click on the card(s) you want to post in the Card Maker. It will say "Uploading to Imageshack" or something of the like. Then you copy whatever shows up and plunk that down wherever you want it in your post.

 

As far as I know, there is no way to post bullet points resembling the actual bullet points on actual YGO cards. You can try to use a similar-looking icon from the Internet or something, but the actual bullet points...unavailable.
