FIRST OF ALL...:
Welcome new comers! Feel free to interact with others!
Don't be shy, everyone here on the Aly&AJ Forums are super nice! This thread will help you understand what the Aly&AJ Forums are all about! Here on the Aly&AJ Forums you can interact with other fans of Aly&AJ, discuss their music, TV shows, movies, pictures, and the girls themselfs! Please remember to try and not to be mean to others, NO swearing, and to just have fun!
SPAMING:
What is spaming? Spaming is when someone posts random things or nonscence things in a topic. If you just put something like "Cheese is awesome!" in a thread thats talking about how awesome someones shirt is, then that is spamming. People might tell you not to do it, because it is against the rules. So, please make sure what you post is on topic.
POSERS:
We are sorry to say that Aly&AJ do NOT come to this board. So if anyone claims to be Aly, AJ, or both of the girls, please don't believe them and let eaither Rachel or Me know.
KARMA:
This is how Karma works.
Karma is basically like the members ranking on what the other members think of that member.
on the left hand side of someones post, there is a word there that says "Karma" with a number on the side of it. (the higher the number the better)
underneeth it is the words Exalt and Smite. (if you already clicked one of the words around under an hour ago, its probally not there because you have to wait an hour before it shows up again)
if you like them or think they did something good, you would click Exalt. this will give them one karma, which is GOOD to the person you gave it too. (who knows, they might return the favor)
If you dont like them, or think they are rude etc, then you would click smite. this takes away one karma, which all members dont want.
people can give you exalting karma, which is a good thing to you
remember, EVERYONE WANTS KARMA! so remember to CLICK EXALT!
(oh, and before you can karma again you have to wait about an hour)
Also, members might start "Karma Games". These are games you can play where you might be able to earn karma!
Please don't make threads about you not having any karma, just go to a Karma game or start one yourself
GRAPHIC REQUESTING:
When you are requesting for a graphic from someones "booth" (a booth is just what they call it... or a request box is another word for it...)
make sure you fill out the form they have (if they have one)
do NOT just go "can you make me one?" or "i dont care whats on it"
you have to fill out the form. the person making your graphic or w.e doesnt know what you want, and its your request, not theirs.
Also, read and respect the rules they have. (if they have them) You should be greatful that the person is willing to make you graphics.
HOW TO DO THINGS:
Wonder how to make font bold or insert an image... etc? Well here you can find out!
underneath the discriptions of each thing explaining how to do things is a code. copy and paste the code and erase the words that are CAPITAL.
If you want to make your text bold, then use this code:
If you want to make your text Italic, then use this code:
If you want to make your text underlined, use this code:
If you want to make your text everthing above combinded, [like so]... use the code below
^it does not matter what order the u, b, and i codes go in.
If you want to make a [glow=red,2,300]Glow Word[/glow]... use this code:
^you can change "red" to any color such as pink, purple, blue, yellow, orange, red, light blue, etc. just dont leave any spaces.
you may also change the number in there, as long as if its over 1,000 you must have the comma ( , ) in there!
if i wanted a purple, really strong glow, I would use this code:
so it would come out [glow=purple,9,000,000] like this. [/glow]
If you want to change the Size of your text, use this code:
^replace the number 3 with a number 1-7 to get smaller and larger text.
If you wanted words to lead to a link if you clicked on them, use the code below:
If you want to insert an image, use the code below:
If you want to make an image a link... use this code:
If you want to change the Color of your text.. use this code:
^You can replace "Red" with basic colors. *If you wanted to use a hex code, you would have to put the # sign infront of it. so it would be like...
^ [000000 is the hex code for black] there is the # sign before the hex code.
