  1. I'd like to clarify a few longstanding, common sense policies here at WebFlake. "Thanks" Posts Despite the recent addition of a notification directly above the quick reply box in our Downloads areas, I'm still seeing a ton of posts from users saying things like "thanks", "nice", "ty", etc. We have a 'Like' system available for use, and every post has a button. It's blue, it's 72 pixels wide, and hard to miss. Why do we ask you to use it? Because posting gibberish clogs the thread (and WebFlake's database) with unnecessary one-liners and redundant "thank you's". It gets in the way of relevant discussion in the thread, and causes recently submitted content's download threads to be buried under a heap of bumped topics. When you do your grocery shopping, do you pause for a moment to call the manufacturer to "thank" them before making the purchase? I'd hope not. Spamming for Post Counts Hate spam mail in your inbox? Well, I can't stand spam messages. It's fine and dandy that you want to welcome someone to the community (some folks are naive enough to believe that increases their post count), but when you're flooding the forums with ridiculous one-liners that consist of less letters than a bowl of Alphabet Soup, you can be sure that those posts will be deleted. We placed a post requirement in our Requests areas to ensure that users who choose to become a part of the WebFlake community, aren't here under false pretenses (i.e. leeching). We want every member to be a valuable and integral part of our community. Spamming threads with "thank you" posts, or other one-liners is unacceptable and a violation of our Spamming policy (found within our Community Guidelines). Post something constructive, or don't post at all. Search System This has been rehashed time and again by other Staff members. Frankly, it's disturbing to see such a high number of users that are too lazy to take a few seconds to search for what they're looking for, instead opting to ask someone else to do it for them. It's an abuse of our free support system, and an utter waste of time for anyone generous enough to respond with a link. An overwhelming majority of our support requests are topics previously answered, or covered by tutorials. Speaking of tutorials, we have a wealth of information contributed by our community in various sections: WebMaster Tutorials & Guides IP.Board Tutorials vBulletin Tutorials xenForo Tutorials MyBB Tutorials Please start reviewing these tutorials in conjunction with utilizing the search feature. Having said that, I'd like to forewarn those who seek to continue to avoid following basic forum etiquette: I'm not opposed to issuing warnings. Posts will be deleted, users will be warned, and sometimes points will be attached. If you're warned several times in a relatively short period of time, posting privileges will be restricted. WebFlake Staff isn't here to make your life miserable, nor should you be here to make ours miserable. We want to ensure that this community is welcoming, professional, and trash-free. If you'd like to paint me as the bad guy, so be it. I spend my time here voluntarily, free of charge, and out of the goodness of my heart, despite other obligations (as does the rest of the team). I've received so much from this community, that giving back just a little, brightens my day. But I simply don't take kindly to those who want to urinate in my cheerios first thing in the morning. In closing: » Use the Like button instead of posting "thanks". » Don't spam for the purposes of increasing post counts. » Utilize our search feature before posting redundant requests.

  5. A tutorial on how to set up LocalHost with Wamp. You can also use XAMPP, but I'm just going to teach you how to do it with Wamp in this tutorial. 1) You will need to download Wamp in order to set up localhost. To download Wamp, go to http://www.wampserver.com/en/ . Click on the Download tab and click on either the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version (depending on your computer). A pop up will show up. It will look something like this: Where it says "If you do not want to, you can download it directly.", click on the link to go to the download page. 2) After it's done downloading, run the file. Whenever you're done installing Wamp, a pop up will appear on your screen. At the top it will say "Please chose your default browser. If you are not sure, just click Open.". If you use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Opera, do not click open right away. Go to My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files. If you use Firefox, look for a folder named Mozilla Firefox. Open the folder and click on the firefox.exe file, then click open. If you use Google Chrome, follow the same steps except look for a Google folder or something similar. After that, it will ask you to enter SMTP details. If you are unsure of what that is, just click on the next button. 3) Once you're done with step 2, launch Wamp. A little icon will appear on the bottom right of your screen, similar to this: Note: If the icon is green, you're fine. If the icon is orange, check if you have Skype opened up. Skype interferes with Wamp, so you will have to close Skype whenever you want to work on your localhost. After closing Skype, click on the Wamp icon and click "Restart All Servers". It should be green now. 4) Open up your browser and go to: http://localhost/ And then you're done!

  7. Hey guys so as you can see I had some free time and I thought I'd make some thing for Phun in particular. It took me about two~three hours to make and about three~four hours to render ( the 3D element ) And yeah guys, give me a rating out of ten? So yeah here is the master pieces Glassy effect added* http://i.imgur.com/ehaJIJH.png Glassy effect not added* http://i.imgur.com/iPhzydI.png *reason I'm giving links instead of showing it visibly, is because it re-sizes the picture and I don't like it. Programs used:Photoshop CS6 Extended

  8. The question and answer system is often overlooked as a great way to stop spam. As soon as you notice spammers, change your question and answer. Trust me, it works. It is a good idea to change your question and answer about once a month.

  11. Far from professional, in my opinion. This is the work of an amateur, and nothing else. I find it really hard to believe that you have been doing graphics design for a few years now, because these examples are bad and I am currently seeing Year 9 Highschool Graphic Design Students do better. You should be able to do much better, if you have truly been doing this for years. The text is not good on any of them. The Kristen Stewart ones look like nothing but a render placed over a simple background, same with the Danica Patrick one but you didn't do the background and with the Serana one it looks like you grabbed a picture off Google Images and gave it a bad Gradient Map with text. You should be able to do much better.

  12. You can set permissions for the bots to be only able to read the topic titles and not the content. But that is the only way to stop guests from using the bot code to view topic posts. It is not a hook unless 3.4 changed it. Since 2.3 you could create a bot group and set permissions.
