It changes with amount of posts you make. Le Guide: http://www.serebiiforums.com/faq.php...faq_usertitles

If it something to with Pokémon, and not shipping (romance), it goes in to the Pokemon fics.

If its nothing to with Pokémon, it should go in to Non Pokemon stories.

If it's Shipping Romance with "someone" else characters or in someone elses worlds, it belongs in shipping.

Ahh, okay, thank you for clearing that up n_n

Post a VM on your profile, then delete it and refresh. That should get rid of it.

How can I edit polls? It's because I programmed one to be closed in 2 days but it should be 1.

So very simply, which threads in this forum increase you post count when you post in a thread?

I want to increase my postcount so I can keep getting a new Badge but alot of the threads I've looked at say "Posts here don't count towards post count"

Can someone please compile a list of some sort which tells me all the threads which do actually increase my post count. Thx.

Sadly, you can't. However, I believe that certain moderators can. Such as the moderators of that section or SMods+.

It's the IMG tag. Put [IMG]url here[/IMG] and it should work

Some sub-forums also don't count towards your post count.

If you want to get the images into your signature, use the [IMG] BBCode.

[IMG]your url here[/IMG]

If you don't know how to get the url, right click the image and click "copy image url" and then paste the url into the IMG tag.

Please note that I normally use google chrome. If you use firefox then you can just copy and paste the image into your signature.

It changes with your post count-it's just a little decorational item. The more you post, the more it will change: http://www.serebiiforums.com/faq.php...faq_usertitles

In the case of staff, who also have different coloured names, we have special mini-bar, which indicates one of three ranks. These in this case only change if we are promoted or Demoted.

If you get your posts Deleted or moved to forums where it doesn't count: your Mini-bar will drop back down if it crosses that threshold. As staff, I've had to both to several users, in most cases they had been breaking the rules. One rule is for Double posting/Posting twice in a row in a thread.

Or if it's sprites like this you're looking for, then it's just the Pokemon's National Pokedex number enclosed by semicolons.

E.g. the NAtional Pokedex # for Slowbro is 80, so you would put ;080*; (without the *) :

Where's the button that you have to press to start a new thread?
How do you get that big section under your name so you can put stuff there?

New thread - Go to the forum where you want to create a new thread. Create a New thread will be near the top and bottom of each page. Some areas Forums will not allow non-staff members to create new threads.

Adding "Stuff" - Settings -> Edit Profile

One way to get to Settings is at the top of each name, and then edit profile link will be on the left side of the screen.
