How to post

I've noticed a recent increase in Double Posting from new users because there is no thread explaining how to correctly post. I've seen other users ask how to add links, spoil quotes and images, and add youtube videos. Hopefully this will clarify some questions.

Firstly, read Rules and FAQ first to understand the rules of Fakku (and specifically for this thread) what Double Posting is as this thread will tell you how to avoid it.

Secondly, Fakku uses a "quote" system rather than applying the @username system.

Note: Before making your own thread be sure to use the SEARCH feature in the forums to make sure a similar thread does not exist. Try searching key words of the subject you are about to make, sometimes a similar thread may exist but in a different sections of the forums. Another way to avoid this problem is to perform a simple skim through the top threads of each forum. Some threads are constantly bumped, especially in the Feedback, Suggestions, and Support section and should be noted.

Note 2.0: Also be sure you start any potential thread in the correct section. Mostly anything can be placed in IB but if a thread is made with expectations of legitimate answers, the user needs to post in a section that relates to it's subject.

Note 2.1: One of the most common mistakes new users make is when they start a thread in Serious Discussion that should be in Random. SD mainly consists of debatable or even controversial subjects and should not include threads that are: of a non-serious subject, simple statements of opinion without being open to debate, close ended questions.

Note 2.2: When making a poll thread, be sure to offer an "other" option to your poll because not everyone may agree with the options you give.

How to reply to another user:

• click quote button at the top right of each post and add your own text following the text that's already present in the reply.
  

How to reply to multiple users:

• Right click the quote button and select "open link in new tab"

• Copy the given text and return to the original tab

• Quote second user and paste text into box, you should have a reply beneath each quote

Your layout should look like this

---

reply



reply

• Be sure to maintain at least one line below the previous quote. Do NOT reply to a quote on the same line of text or it will result in a improper form of posting.

An example of an improper post below:

How to add images:

• Click "insert image" button near top right. Paste inside popup box and click ok.
  

Note: For unknown reasons any and all direct image links to the website funnyjunk.com will fail at uploading the image correctly and will only link to the front page of the site instead of the image itself. Please refrain from doing so and do the alternative of saving the image to your computer in which users can then upload the image onto Imagebam or Sad Panda to host their image.

How to add a link:

• Copy URL at top of browser of desired website.

SOME ADVICE:

• When replying/quoting someone, take note of text on the right that advises users to use SPELL CHECK and PROPER GRAMMAR.

Final Thoughts: If you've created a thread and wish to delete, relocate, or lock it, be sure to read Gravity Cat's How to delete a thread.

Following these guidelines and rules, new users will more likely avoid misunderstandings and better enjoy their experience on Fakku!

I'd like to see this thread stickied.

I hope it is stickied!

I've seen plenty of said double posts by newbies. Don't know if this thread will actually help but it's worth a try. Some one sticky this.

I third the motion to sticky this. Thanks, Dante. :)

Oh, one thing though. I find it a little easier to open a quote tab for each user you wanna reply to (by middle-clicking, say), then put a reply onto each one, and finally copy paste them all into one tab and reply. I find it easier than pressing back and forward multiple times.



Why? Because he's doing something useful for the site, while you're just sitting on your ass bitching about? That kinda makes a lot of us fags, now doesn't it? Of course, still doesn't make you any better than us.

Very helpful post for everyone. +1 Sticky.

@Kricket loves you/lllumia GTFO.

QFT

When you quote more than one person does everyone you quote get a notification for it?

Yep.. Wait, actually I don't know. I thought you did anyway.

yes, i got a notification for someone else's quote that contained a quote of me.

No problem, thanks for your input :)
I started thinking and I realized your right, opening a new tab is easier than going back and forth in one window. I went ahead and made the necessary changes.

Kricket love is just mad because I called them a faggot in IB. He/she doesn't understand the concept of IB and how nothing in it should be taken too seriously.

I copy pasted as usual, but posted the whole thing onto Shag's one. If Kouki doesn't get a notification, then no, multiple quotes don't send multiple notifications. Lemme PM him and find out.

Good Work.

But I wonder if new users will actually read this.
I'm basing this on previous users of course.

I'll link to it whenever I meet a new user. I hope others do the same.

Well your probably right for the most part but I'm hoping this gets stickied that way we have a reference point and can at least say it's there. I just wanted to be able to provide a link to the new users so they're not spam posting in the threads trying to get a full blown explanation on how to do this or that.

Anything that's stickied is useless.
Masterlist = No one reads it
Rules = No one reads it
Tutorials = No one reads it
[/sarcasm]

It's not about whether it's useless or not. It's about we care or not. Noobs/Newbs will always come, but that doesn't mean we should ignore them. "You'll always take a bath, even though you'll get dirty and sweaty in the next couple of hours.

Like I always say,If you see a noob/newb not reading the rule = LINK them
Do not answer any request or their questions unless they read it first.

TL;DR
We make these threads because we care.

Oh how I want to see you got banned.

As for the OP, this thread needs to be stickied. Really.

if it's stickied, it will be easier to find for links.

I guess I'll try to link whenever someone needs it. Seems like a really useful thread to me.

None of this really matters. mods aren't enforcing rules, and even breaking them.
