Why does the forum stats say there's 2325 members but the members list say there's 1664?
Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.

Is the pic in my signature too large? I know there's a limit, but I have no idea what it is or how to figure out if a picture is too big... ::)

I recieved a pm about that once, just let me dig it up.

"Images larger than 40x350 pixels are prohibited."

So I would assume that yours is too big.

This is exactly how large 40 by 350 is:


It's meant mainly for userbars, that kind of thing. There are some exceptions to this (like some award badges). Some pictures are clearly too large, though, and if somebody keeps one of those up for long enough we eventually contact them to remind them about the rule.

Is there a list of all the available fonts for use? I already asked this but as I'm on an iPad i'm not sure which ones will work and which ones won't.

Well, most fonts work for the forum, but not necessarily with other peoples' devices. For example, most people can't see it, but my font looks like this:

It looks like that on my computer, a Mac, but people using Windows can't see it like that.

Well, it isn't just an issue of Mac vs. Windows. I can't see it either. It depends on what fonts are installed in the user's font library. If you don't have access to a font, you have to download it or purchase it to see it display properly.

Is there going to be another Role Play Tournament? And if so when will it be?

There should be one sooner or later. I'll probably have to run this one, given that I have the lightest schedule of any of the staff, so it depends on when I'll have an opening and when I feel like y'all are ready for one. There are a lot of RPs right now that need attention, and I don't want to undercut any of those, so I wouldn't expect it for a while.

My life has just been turned upside down. O_O  I had no idea that that's how it's supposed to look.

And that's why I was a bit frustrated when I found out that people couldn't see it, and I was posting in a generic font to them the whole time.

If you downloaded the font yourself, it's very likely that most of us won't be able to see it.

If I created a font and then downloaded it and used it on this forum, would someone else who'd downloaded it see it properly? Or will the forum only support certain fonts?

And is there a message limit before you can only receive replies?
