Hey Guys! This can be for new people on the site { If so Welcome, Welcome ! } or Old. Either way it's here if you need it, The FAQ of Muzzled.
Please read these before asking us, your question may already have been answered here.
Q. Ack! I'm new, I don't know where I start off, no-one has told me anything!?!!
A. Don't worry, we { The staff } are here to help you. Firstly,
You need to go Here.
It should contain most information on starting out and enjoying your time here at Muzzled.
Secondly,
You can message Me whenever you have a question, feeling down, whatever. You can also Message other staff as we are indeed, here to help you out.
Q. How do I post Images. I've asked other people and they told me to use something like [/img][/b] ?
A. It's simple, really. With any Image or GIF, you have to go through a process that may be tricky when you start off, but ends with being as easy as riding a bike! Once you learn how to do it, you'll never forget.
Say you found a cool image on Google like, an image of a nice German Shepherd Dog. We'll use this one as and example.
We'll Name him Max, for now.
Max has an owner of his own. And you can't just "borrow" something without asking. Alright, so some images are free to use. But Some images aren't and their owners are pretty protective over it. We want to avoid that, so it's always best to ask.
First off, we want to get a code. What kind of code? Well, A BBCode. It's basically used for many different forums. Where do you get it from? Well there is a pretty nifty site. Click this. Or Search 'imgur' on Google.
You need to click the Google image you want once so it gets bigger and is fully loaded. After clicking 'Upload Images -> Web' on the right-hand side of that website I showed you, you drag your image into the bottom right-hand corner. Your image should end up being on a small list in the center of the screen. You then click 'Upload'.
Now for the slightly more tricky part. Usually, you'd just scroll down to the BBCode part for forums and then copy paste it to you post. Nah. Not on proboards v5. You need to copy the BBCode Code for your image and paste it in the 'BBCode' part of your form which is right next to the 'Preview' part. Take a little look back at the preview part and your image is there!
The code looks a bit like this:
It's almost exactly the same for GIFs. As long as you copy and paste the code on the site I showed you, it will work for sure.
That's it with Images for now, Say bye to Max !
Q. How do I change my signature?
A. Simple. You go into your profile.
Next, you need to click on 'Edit Profile' On the top right corner of your profile. Then, you need to go into the 'Personal' Tab located in between 'Avatar' and 'Social'. Scroll down until you find Personal Notes { Which is at the very bottom } and your signature should be right above it ! c:
And, because your signature doesn't provide the handy things in a post, This might come in handy.
Q. How do I re-size/crop an image // What's a good website to crop/edit images?
A. I would recommend a website called 'picmonkey'. Click Here.
Picmonkey lets you edit photos, make a collage, add cool effects to your photos. You just drag an image you want to edit or make a collage into the selected box and boom.
Now, For some computers, this doesn't work. You'll sometimes have problems dragging the picture into a box. No worries! I have another website just for you! Click Here. This is Picresize. It specifies in resizing images but you can add effects and such. I personally prefer picmonkey but Picresize is here to help anyway.
Q. Can I become part of the Staff list? / Can I be a Mod?
A. Mod/Staff Application are currently Open. To apply for a Mod or Staff please click Here. Or copy and paste this link to your address bar:

This is currently the only place you can apply for mod or Staff. It will change in the future.
Q. Why did I get a warning?
A. Read the rules and you'll find out why. Click Here. Or navigate your way to the Big Book Of Rules by Windy.
Q. How do I block someone?
A. If you ever need to block someone, tell the staff and add them to your block list. How? You go into your profile, and click 'Edit Profile'. You then click on the 'Privacy' Tab and scroll to the very bottom of the tab. The block member option should be there.
