Frequently Asked Questions

Need an answer? Your in the right place!

• How do I register?

Go to the top of the site and click "register." Then fill out the required information. Keep in mind, your E-mail needs to be valid or you won't be able to participate! If you can't have an E-mail, you can post messages as a guest. After that you will have to activate your account. Follow the instructions that the E-mail gives you. If you run into problems, chances are you did something incorrectly, or there is a glitch in the registration system. If you've done everything correctly, and you're still having problems, contact Steet.

• How do I get an avatar?

Go to my profile---> Edit my profile---> Change my avatar. From there select an avatar from your computer. Make sure the file is: JPG, GIF, or PNG. BMP files are allowed too.

An alternate way to add a avatar is to add it to the URL of your avatar where you can edit your country, etc. This is good if you want to directly add an avatar from an existing link.

While I'm telling you about avatars, this is how you add them on the forums as well!

Go to User control panel---> Profile--> Edit avatar---> From there upload your image. If you get an error, double check the dimensions and file size of the avatar! The max is: Maximum dimensions; width: 200 pixels, height: 200 pixels, file size: 97.66 KiB.

• How do I get a signature?

Take the same steps as above, BUT go to "Edit signature this time." You will need to upload your signature to an image hosting site such as: imageshack.us, photobucket.com, iaza.com, tinypic.com. Any place that you may know of. Get the direct URL of the image and the paste it into the text box. For an example here is mine. [img]http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww277/Roi_Doberwolf/my%20pics/Sigs/wolfsig2.png[/img] (don't use this please! The sig belongs to Roi Doderwolf, she has allowed me to use the sig)

That should get you your sig!

• How long does it take for a mod to activate my submission?

Chances are, we're just as clueless as you are, as there is no answer to that. The mods will activate your submission when they get around to it. Remember, all of the mods have every single Source to check, so it may take some time. If you have been waiting 4 weeks or more, you should contact one of the mods to let them know you have been waiting awhile.

• Can there be a  bla bla bla Source?

It isn't that simple, site ideas must be suggested in the topic I linked above. Keep in mind, Steet can't accept everyone's ideas.

Steet " Why not everything? Because I want to give the "Animation Source" a direction. I want to look further into similar themes, especially western traditional animation, because there are so many films/series that deserve to be part of it. Especially when you're considering that traditional animation really needs all the advertisement it can gets, because it's currently dying slowly, and I just can't accept that."
