FFR Forum

1) I am new - Why can't I post or make my own thread?

New users have to wait at least 24 hours from the time of their account's registration and acquire a positive grand total score in FFR the Game before being able to post or make a thread. If you continue to see the following message, please contact one of the administrators (preferably Sprite-, Zageron or Velocity) by sending them a private message:

Quote:
You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
This restriction was implemented to stop bots from posting and creating new threads in the FFR Forums.


2) What are custom titles? How can I customise my own?

A 'Custom Title' is a short quote underneath one's username, that is NOT written in bold.
Unless you are an FFR Veteran, FFR R1 Music Producer or an FFR R1 Simfile Author, you cannot customise your own. Otherwise, you will have "FFR Player" written underneath your username.

When you are given the privilege to own a custom title, please do NOT make your custom title anything that the system generates automatically.

This includes, but is not limited to:

Site Admin
Super Moderator
Chat Mod
Profile Mod
FFR R1 Simfile Author
FFR R1 Music Producer
FFR Legend
Multiplayer Mod
Banned


3) I am new to the game and the forums. How can I fit into the FFR community?

Here are a few guidelines:

1) Read the FFR Sitewide Rules and understand them. Remember to type coherently, and not like this:

Quote:
ple@S3 D0 NOt 5PE@k liKe +HI5 or in some other fancy writing.
2) Participate in forum discussions, the game and FFR events. Make yourself known to the community in a positive way. A good attitude will take you a long way.

3) Respect other members of the site.


If you are new, say hello here!
If you want to be called by name, write your name here!


4) What do the different colours found in usernames represent?

The colours hold different statuses in the community.

Red = Site Administrator
Dark Green = Super Moderator
Green = Other Moderators
Gray = Legend Members
Orange = FFR R1 Simfile Authors and FFR R1 Music Producers
Blue = FFR Veterans
Dark Blue = Regular Members

Do NOT ask to become a moderator.


5) How do I type in fancy font colours, insert media, and organise information in my posts/threads?

The language used in the forums is known as BBCode. It allows you to format the objects in your post for visual effect or organisation of information.

Basic codes:



The ones bordered by the green box represent links/media codes. However, you will need to acquire the image code yourself from an image-hosting site, such as ImageShack, Photobucket, TinyPic, or any other valid image hosting sites.

Embed a youtube video:

Every youtube video ends in something similar to watch?v=vS_foc_NxI0. Copy only the characters after the v=, then place it between the youtube brackets:




Organisational tools:

The code looks like this (if you have lots of information, there will be a scroll bar):
Code:

The quote looks like this:

Suggestions to improve the site are always more than welcome. Who knows, it could be a major FFR breakthrough!
The FFR Bugreport & Suggestions forum is the place to post your ideas.

Do NOT post your suggestions into FFR General Talk, Chit Chat, or any other part/s of the forum.

If you are an FFR veteran, you are eligible to submit your ideas into the Veteran Forum.


7) How do I become an FFR Veteran? What are the benefits?

An FFR Veteran is a member who have kept their account for 3.00 years and has achieved a grand total of 3,000,000,000 or more.

Benefits of becoming an FFR Veteran include:

* Early song releases
* Beta level reader
* Credit transaction history
* Ability to view other's level ranks
* Veteran forum
* Top average player's list
* Blue name
* Private messaging limit of up to 25 people
* Token level ranks

8) I want to change my username and merge my accounts.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change your username, or to merge your forum posts and game-play statistics with your alternative accounts.
Administrators do have the power to change your username, however, this has only ever been done under exceptional circumstances. Asking will NOT warrant you a name change.

If you would like a different username, be mindful of your new username and create a new FFR account.

Common reasons for a name change:

- It does not reflect their personal attributes
- The username contains numbers, or special characters
- Difficult to spell
- Capital/lower-case letters

Therefore:

- Remember that you will be keeping your username for as long as you stay on the site
- If numbers are not your thing, stay away from them
- Think about your username, the way it is spelled and pronounced
- Be careful of your letter choices and their cases

* User-names define your presence here. Choose your name with care. *
