I loath these sort of announcements. They come with baggage and unnecessary spectacle. Alas, I believe in transparency and have promised as much before. I'm sure, by now, most of you were familiar with DragonVoid's recent promotion to Junior Moderator and the subsequent "controversy" being whispered about on the site. Allow me to clarify this: there is no controversy. A member of our team made an egregious decision to promote DragonVoid without putting him through our rigorous vetting process, which caused some concern within the team and some known annoyance among other members. Mistakes happen. We're all human. We need to learn from them and move on and assure history does not repeat itself and that we don't set unfortunate precedents. In fairness to the community and to the rest of our team, DragonVoid has been moved back to his original +Donator usergroup until we deem that we're in need of another Staff member, at which point he will have an opportunity to present himself yet again, and earn the position. This does not imply that he is guaranteed the spot, nor does it imply he is automatically disqualified from it. We currently have nine total members on the WebFlake Staff team (including myself and Phun). When evaluating our daily numbers, our current team is more than sufficient to ensure WebFlake continues to function smoothly and efficiently. I have the utmost confidence in our current team, as they have placed their confidence in me as well. With that said, on behalf of the entire team, I'd like to extend our sincerest apologies to both DragonVoid and the WebFlake community for any confusion. This demotion has nothing to do with any actions or a lack thereof on the part of DragonVoid, but moreover a simple misunderstanding. We all wish DragonVoid the best of luck in earning the next available position, and thank him for his continued support of WebFlake!

Don't worry guys, I read pretty much any rules page I could locate. The community rules, signature rules, file upload rules, all that good jazz. I actually WANTED to make sure I didn't break any to avoid get reprimanded and not knowing why. I try to not be brain dead lol

Basically what HSBC said ^ Closed.

This is a relatively simple tutorial. Most people do this by deleting a line of code, but what we will be doing is commenting it out. I do it this way so if for whatever reason I want to enable it in the future, I can do so without having to do too much work. The steps are as follows: Go into your Admin Control Panel Click the "Look & Feel" button. Click the name of the skin you are currently using on your board. In the left hand side, click on the category "Board Index", then click on "boardIndexTemplate". Find this code: <a href='#' id='toggle_sidebar' title='{$this->lang->words['toggle_sidebar']}' data-closed="{$this->lang->words['_laquo']}" data-open="&times;">&nbsp;</a> And replace it with this code: <!--<a href='#' id='toggle_sidebar' title='{$this->lang->words['toggle_sidebar']}' data-closed="{$this->lang->words['_laquo']}" data-open="&times;">&nbsp;</a>--> That's it! Go and check your sidebars to make sure, though. It may be a good idea to recache your skins, but I didn't find it necessary. If you are wondering what that did, essentially all we did was commented the code out so the browser ignores it. If for whatever reason you wish to undo what we did, just remove the <!-- and --> at the beginning and end of the modified code. If you think you will forget this, there is always that handy dandy bookmark feature Hope this helps out some people!

This is going to be a relatively easy and simple tutorial on how to change strings to say what you want them to. I found this while generally going through IP.Boards vast features and messing around with them. In this example I will show how to change that Create Account URL/Button's text into whatever you desire! The steps are pretty simple: How to setup the custom language pack we will be using! Login to you ACP, hover your mouse over Look & Feel and click Manage Languages. In the row that has "English (USA)" click the down arrow located all the way to the right of the row and click "Copy language pack". The reason we need to copy it, is because the default English USA language pack is not directly editable. Although you can disable that in the database, I would recommend not doing so and just making a copy the language pack. Click the pencil icon (Edit) and change it to whatever you like (such as English - Custom) but make sure to click the YES option where it says "Default language?". Click save changes. How to actually change the text of what you/we want to change! Click on the name of the language pack you want to edit stuff in (so in this case click the custom one we made with the above steps that you set as default). This will open up a new page with a bunch of tabs and other junk. In the "Find" search box above all the tabs, enter the text you want to change (so in this case enter "Create Account" without the quotes) - The results should bring up 2 results, "register" in both public_global and public_register. These will essentially tell you where the changes/text will show up. In the textboxes located to the right of these results, enter whatever you want the new text/link/button to say in ALL the boxes that you want it to apply two (so in this case, obviously both boxes). I changed mine to "Join Us!" Click the "Go" button to save the changes and voila! The values should be changed. Double check by going to your homepage and register page and making sure the changes have applied. If not, just re-follow the steps and make sure you did them all correctly! This tutorial applies to most strings you find, as well. Including some applications, addons, etc. If you want to change how something looks, try searching it like we did above, and changing it in the appropriate textboxes you find in the results. As an example, I changed my register link to "Join Us!" so I followed up by searching the language pack for anything that said "register" and changed some phrases to say things like "consider registering an account" to "consider joining", etc etc. I hope this was a helpful tutorial for anyone needing to change what certain things say on your board and let me know if everything goes smoothly! ^_^ And if for whatever reason you are more of a visual person, I took some screenshots and mashed em together in a single image to create a visual tutorial: http://imgur.com/ptzhShy

WebFlake is officially accepting applications for our Support Team! What does the Support Team do? Members of the team will be tasked with handling any and all support requests submitted, and will have the ability to lock, delete, move, and edit any support topic on our site. Wait, why do we need a Support Team when Staff does all of that already? We don't. However, we have plenty of members throughout WebFlake with exceptional skills across a myriad of platforms, software, etc. These users exemplify the type of dedication and passion that any webmaster should aspire to replicate. We feel that these members should be recognized and given additional access to assist them in their endeavors in fulfilling support requests. Are there any perks to the job? No, and you shouldn't expect any. The position is completely volunteer. You will gain access to our +Donator area and a Support Team forum where you'll be able to interact with Staff and other members of the Support Team. You'll also have a shiny new Support Team title and username color affixed to your profile. What are the expectations? Aside from meeting discretionary criteria, we only ask that you devote a respectable amount of time to our Support areas. We won't require you to fill a quota or log a specific amount of hours, but if we find that you're failing to meet reasonable standards, you will be dismissed from the team. What is this criteria you speak of? It's completely discretionary. Only Staff are privy to what it is. Great! How do I sign up? Copy / paste the format below, fill it out to the best of your abilities and submit the application in a response to this topic. Each hiring window lasts approximately seven (7) days, after which we will close the topic to additional replies (with a notification) and begin our evaluation process. The number of users we select may vary based on the number of applicants. If you are selected, we will contact you directly with additional details and/or questions. Additional Notes: Please remember to toggle the markup button () on before pasting the application, then toggle it back off. This avoids unsightly BBCode markup displaying from simple copy/pasting. When rating your English, please use whole numbers only and not decimals. If you have no answer or cannot provide an answer for any of the questions, simply enter N/A. If you fail to use the format below, you will be automatically disqualified. For "skills", please offer details (along with a rating if you wish) on what experience you have with each particular software. Please do not apply if you are affiliated with any other site similar to WebFlake. This application process can be adjusted at any time, at Administration's discretion. It is your responsibility to ensure you're updated with the information provided.

First of all, I apologize if this topic was posted in the incorrect forum. I was unsure of whether to actually post it in the IP.Board support, the Tutorial forum itself or here. I am fine with the topic moving if it is in the incorrect spot. The get to my question: I was wondering if there is a certain guideline to posting IP.Board tutorials in the sense of it being too "basic"? Like if there is any level of difficulty it has to be to be posted or whether any tutorial regarding IPB can be posted. I ask because I am new to IP.Board and have had a BUNCH of questions myself and found the answers digging around in IP.Board's settings and features myself and testing until I could get it to do what I wanted or would spend hours googling and hunting down information myself and would appreciate the possibility of helping out others who might be in the same boat. But if my postings were to be considered to basic of a principle to need to be posted, then I shall refrain from doing so. Either way I am glad to be a new member to this community. You guys have provided me a few downloads that I have appreciated having in my arsenal and many of the answers in your older topics have helped me with a few things as well!

I am not too bad with IP.Board. I don't develop for it but I know how to install things and minor troubleshooting myself with making things work. But for the life of me I cannot get this Donation Track (version 3.1.1) to work properly. I use Animate as my theme, and I even placed the images that are in the "master" folder into my animate folder, I have created a goal and clicked "Yes" to adding it to the Featured sidebar and have even made a ficticious "donation" for testing by adding it in manually and yet a few things still happen 1) The featured sidebar still never shows up (even though its Enabled in the hooks) 2) A donation sideblock does show up but only in the Donation statistics sidebar 3) Even the misplaced statistics sidebar does not change, no percentage, no "progress" bar, it doesn't even show the description Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/3kz8uu I know the solution might be pretty simple and I am just being dumb, but any help would be much appreciated! EDIT: I managed to fix it myself. I completely uninstalled and re-installed it once more and for some reason now it wants to work. I dunno how either install was different than the other but for now it seems to be fixed. You all can close this

Go ahead and just post tutorials, basic or not, members of webflake will still appreciate them, there are always people that are new to IP.board and need help and tutorials to show them how to do it

If the version of IPB you are using is 3.3.3, I found an article on the IPB website stating this: The question(s) in this support topic have been answered and the owner has been able to solve the problem. Because of this, the support topic has been closed and moved. If you have other questions, please open a new topic.

Hey! In order for us to get a more accurate reading if what you want, I'd suggest filling out this form -

Hi and welcome to WebFlake. Hope to see you around!

Welcome to WebFlake. Nice to see you're uploading things already.

I know if you send the money to Skreamzja he will purchase it for you, send him a PM

Frequently Asked Questions The following are questions frequently asked by members of the community. The answers to these questions are subject to change at the discretion of WebFlake Staff at any given time. This list will be updated as needed. 1. What is this "You have exceeded the maximum amount of downloads allotted to you by the administrator for the day" error? WebFlake currently enforces a daily download cap, limiting various groups to a varying number of downloads per day. Newbies, Members, and Advanced Members are capped at 4, 5, and 6, respectively. When donating at least $10 USD, you'll gain access to our Frost tier which unlocks a cap of 12 per day. For $25 USD or more, you'll gain access to our Snow tier and 20 downloads per day. Finally, for $50 USD or more, you'll gain access to our +Blizzard tier, unlocking 50 downloads per day. The only other usergroups not subject to this cap (aside from Staff) are Uploaders and Support Team. 2. Why do I keep receiving the 'maximum downloads' error when I've only downloaded one file? This could be a result of any number of issues. The most likely being that you are using some sort of a download accelerator, whether it be a browser extension or software running on your machine. Some users will experience difficulty with downloads while using a download accelerator. The issue could also be: Double-clicking a Download button Poor internet connection High latency between your PC and the WebFlake server 3. Can I have my download cap reset? The short answer is no. In its current iteration, the Downloads system does not allow for such a thing and even if it did, we still wouldn't do it. 4. Why am I unable to post in the Requests area(s)? To submit a request for a file, you must have at least 15 non-spam posts. If you flood our forums with 'thanks' posts, or generic five word phrases, your posts will be deleted and any submitted requests will be removed as well. Habitual offenders will be banned. 5. Am I allowed to share my account with other people, or have more than one account? No and no. While we cannot prevent you from sharing your account with other users, we will ban your account if we detect that you are. Any violations committed by individuals using your account is still your responsibility. If you are in need of another account for family or spouses living under the same roof, you may contact a Head Moderator or Administrator. 6. What do I do if I am banned? Absolutely nothing. There are no second chances. If you believe you have been banned unjustly, you may contact us via Facebook, Twitter, or via our Contact Form. Do not attempt to create another account. Please be ready to provide corroborating evidence that proves you have been unjustly banned. 99.99% of unjust banning claims are proven to be false. 7. Can I sell content on WebFlake? Only via our Marketplace. There you may sell, buy, hire, or trade content. Please be aware that you must review our Marketplace Guidelines before posting. 8. Am I allowed to 'bump' my topic? According to our Community Guidelines, topic bumping is permitted ONCE every two (2) days. Bumping that occurs earlier than 48 hours after the creation of the topic or the last response, or multiple bumps in a two day span, will result in a warning being issued and your topic being archived. It is inconsiderate of other users patiently awaiting a resolution to their support requests. After a period of 2 weeks, your topic will be auto-archived by the system, and you are free to re-post it. 9. What happened to the old Donator system? We've recently overhauled our donation system and introduced a tiered membership. See this thread for what we currently offer donators and how it compares to regular membership on WebFlake. 10. Why was my Private Messaging ability removed? If you find you are unable to send or receive private messages and you did not disable it yourself, your permissions were likely revoked as a result of sending unsolicited support PMs or advertising (the most common being the former). Sending a PM asking for support, without the express request of the recipient, is considered sending an unsolicited support request. Doing so is a violation of our guidelines and will result in your PM ability being permanently revoked. 11. Can my warning point(s) be removed? Unless an appeal has been approved by a Head Moderator or Administrator, the warning (and any associated points) are will remain on your account indefinitely. It is an extremely rare occurrence that we feel compelled to reverse a warning and/or remove infraction points. 12. How can I advertise on WebFlake? For all intents and purposes, advertising is prohibited. However, per our signature policy, you may have one link and/or an image of 200 pixels in height. Remember, the link cannot be to a site of similar nature to WebFlake and it must not contain pornographic or other lewd content. You may advertise services such as "ripping" or design via our Marketplace. We also offer an advertising package, which will allow for a banner and/or thread to be created and shared on WebFlake. NOTE: Advertising of independent hosting services (such as reseller) is expressly forbidden. Only Administrators, Head Moderators, Moderators and approved members of the overall WebFlake Team (Junior Mods, Uploaders, Support Team and Retired Staff) are permitted to offer hosting services. This is to prevent potential scams or otherwise unfortunate scenarios. See the Community Guidelines for more information. 13. What should I do if I see a post or topic that is violating the guidelines? Under no circumstances should you ever attempt to "mini-mod". Actions considered to be mini-modding are: "Calling out" the user Publicly stating that the post or topic is in violation of the guidelines Citing the guidelines to embarrass or annoy the user Sending the user a harassing Private Message or profile post Simply report the post, reference the rule being violated (if applicable), and let it alone. 14. Why was X user banned or warned? Putting it bluntly, it's none of your concern. We respect our users' privacy on WebFlake and any actions taken against an account is confidential. We will never disclose the details surrounding a banning or moderated post/topic unless it is absolutely necessary. 15. How do I get promoted or become a member of Staff? Only one auto-promotion exists and that is from Member to Advanced Member when the former reaches 50 posts. Eligible users are welcome to apply for a Junior Moderator role (via our Junior Moderator Program), as well as Support Team or Uploader. Asking to be added to our team outside of an application will automatically disqualify you for life. In short, if we believe you have the ability, the tools, and the drive required to contribute something to our team, we will select you. 16. When should I PM a Staff member? Unless requested, you should only PM a Staff member when: You need further clarification on our policies Wish to discuss a warning or suspension issued against your account Need to create secondary accounts for family / spouses Having issues contacting Phun or myself (other Staff can send us reminders) Friendly correspondence such as simple conversation or perhaps an invite to a fantasy league is acceptable Do NOT send Staff PMs for support, complaints about other members, to report a file broken, or anything that can be handled through the appropriate systems and channels. 17. Can I get a preview of the donator content? No. You are not entitled to any premium content by donating. We are generous enough to offer premium content as a perk. The definition of a "donation" is the act of giving without expecting anything in return. Whether our premium content is incentive enough to donate is irrelevant. There are many people who donate selflessly, and others who do it for the other account related perks such as unlimited downloads and the title that sets them apart from the rest. 18. How do I submit a file, or why is it taking so long for my submission to be approved? To submit a file, simply click on the Downloads tab at the top of the page and click the green Submit A File button directly beneath our featured files. Alternatively, you can navigate directly to the appropriate category and submit the file there. Once you have filled out the necessary fields for submitting a file (screenshots, file details, etc), Staff will be alerted to a new file pending review. We will download, scan, and review the file's contents before approving it. We do this to ensure the safety of our users and to prevent advertising. Please do not spam topics or badger Staff members, begging for faster file approval. 19. Why was my file not approved or deleted? The most common reasons a file is not approved (or deleted), are: It was a duplicate submission (we already have what you submitted) The file submitted is in our Subscriber database and is not allowed to be shared publicly (only applies to public submissions, obviously) The file contained advertisements or malicious files/code The file was reported broken by too many users and removed To determine the exact reason a file was removed, you'll need to contact a member of our Staff. We don't often keep "notes" of removed files, so if your file was removed a week ago, don't expect a definitive answer. If you submit a file that contains inappropriate content, you will be notified upon deletion of the file as you'll likely earn a warning. 20. Where have the download topics gone? They've been hidden as they were not used appropriately by many. Instead, if you need assistance with any particular skin, hook, application, plugin, etc.. create a support topic in the corresponding forum and be sure to name the file you're having issues with, as well as a version. Linking to it would be even better. To access our Downloads, simply click the Downloads link at the top of the site. 21. Am I allowed to submit my own "nulls"? No. If you submit your own nulls, they will be deleted. Only members of our trusted Uploader group have the privilege of submitting nulled content. 22. How can I change my display name? Members are not permitted to change their display name by default. However, you have two options: Donate at least $10 and you'll unlock the Frost tier, granting you the ability to alter your display name. Contact Phun or Davlin via private message and request a display name adjustment. Please note that if you choose this option, you must provide a valid reason. Simply not liking your name, for example, is not a valid reason. 23. Where is the MyBB and vBulletin content? We officially dropped our support for MyBB as of March 1st, 2014. This particular forum package is free as it is and free support is offered via the MyBB community forums. It's a bit redundant for us to continue to support a product with waning interest here at WebFlake. vBulletin support was dropped as of February 16th, 2015 for lack of interest. 24. Where can I get support for IPB 3.4.x content? As of April 3rd, 2017, WebFlake has designated IPB 3.4.x content and older as "legacy software" (more info). We've created a temporary forum, IPB 3.4 Legacy Discussion, for you to continue seeking peer-to-peer support from other members until IPS 4.2 becomes available, at which point we will discontinue IPB 3.4.x on WebFlake entirely.

Oh, sorry about that, not to good at the history of Webflake.

WebFlake is hardly a "newly made" website. Even though this site opened in February, it had a strong community already established from our old website. When WebFlake opened, we had hundreds of members and hundreds of posts in the first few hours.
