    And I also might be killed for asking a very obvious and no doubt often-asked question: What level or whatever do you need to be to upload your own avatar/icon? It just shows a blank square every time I try to upload my preferred icon.

    How do you get a screencap of what's on your computer screen? *shame on me for not knowing*

    Ctrl + Prt Scrn (Print Screen)

    Level three I believe. Try making sure you have the right address and click save. If your making your own, I would recommend using a photobucket account. Works great

    Thanks

    Actually, its still not letting me upload this picture. Does it have to be 'uploaded' from a website URL, or can you just upload it from 'My documents' or whatever? (If the URL thing, its not letting me do that for some reason :S)

    EDIT: Well, I uploaded the picture frommy computer, and made sure it was small enough, but its still not showing up. It just has that annoying little white box with a red cross in it. Is there something I've done wrong, or it just doesn't like that picture?

    it's possible to upload it directly from "my documents" but there's all sorts of probleams and bugs with that feature.

    So it's better to just upload it to a image hosting website, (ex. photobucket, imageshack) if u don't have an account in one, then imageshack allows you to upload without an account (but u can make one if u choose to) just go here--> http://imageshack.us/ and just pick the image u want to upload from ur computer, then it will give you a link to it which looks something like this: http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/4927/2915468logodm1.gif just copy and paste ur link to the pefences her on tv.com and click save, and it should work.

    oh, and 1 more thing, the icon cannot be larger than 80x80 in size otherwise it'll reject it.

    edit; ok, nm, looks like u figured it out

    someone created a game, one for "guess the quote"

    when will it be deleted? just like they deleted my kill or resurrect game, or someone has to report it? and if that, does that mean someone didn't like the game I created becoming popular?

    obviously the mods can't keep a constant watch on the forum, and follow thier "game limits" of what not strictly, so it was just bad luck that urs got deleted, (ur thread was at the wrong place at the wrong time) so my advice to u would be, if it was fun and popular, then just make it again, I doubt it would get deleted again.
