    Can I have a image in my Signature?
    - No. If everyone had images this forum would take ages to load and would give people a headache. Your here to find information not to look at pretty images over and over again.


    How long can my Signature be?
    - 350 charecters, however BBCode is included so is counted as 3


    Can I turn of peoples Signature?
    - For yourself yes. Go to UserCP - Edit Options - Visible Post Elements and untick Signatures


    What does it mean if a members name is grey?
    - This means the user has not yet validated their e-mail address.


    Has Digitalpoint got a RSS feed?
    - Yes. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/external.php?type=RSS2


    Can I change the style of Digitalpoint?
    - You have a choice of two colors, greena and blue. In the footer of the forum on the left hand side there is a drop down box, choose your style there


    Can I change my username?
    - Yes. However you can only do this once a year so choose your username well. To get a username change post a topic with title [username change request] and what you want your username to be


    Can I have two accounts?
    - No, if your found to have two accounts both your accounts might be banned.


    What if me and Mr. X are on the same IP, will I get banned?
    - Duplicate accounts are not allowed per person and it is not decided if a account is dupe via a IP


    I wanted to edit my topic but I could not do it? Why?

    - First check you are logged in. If you are it means that 8 hours have past since you posted the topic, you can not edit it.


    Why can I not post topics in the BST forum area?
    - To protect the users of Digitalpoint the admin team decided to make it so you have to be a member for at least 14 days, posted at least posts and not have a overal red rep


    Ive reached the needed things for BST but still cant post
    - Wait, it takes some hours to update.


    Someone spammed my PM box, what can I do?
    - Send the PM along with a small note {saying thanks} to a mod, for example smyrl.


    How can I updated the screenshot of my site in my profile
    - These are done by a 3rd party and no one at Digitalpoint can update it. Sorry!


    What is the Spy?
    - Spy shows you new posts as they happen. Mostly, it is a way of finding topics you want to post in while just looking at the screen


    What is the usermap?-
    A map showing where each user comes from, however nicknames are removed and no information is shown about who lives where, just where in general people are living


    How can I make money by posting on DP?
    - Shawn has kindly decided to share the money made via adsense with you! Topics you make will show some times you adsense, to set this up get your adsense ID and insert it in usercp - Edit Options - Google AdSense Client ID


    How have people got there new blog posting title under there nick name?- If you have a Blogger, Movable Type, WordPress or MySpace blog you to can have this, go to UserCP, Edit options - Blog XML Feed URL. Type your XML feed URL here.


    I got some legal advice on the Legal Issues forum, is it right?
    - The general rule is everyone here is only providing advice and it should not be taken as fact.
