(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: Why cannot I choose an avatar? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | You need to be a Jr. Member for that, which means you have to have at least 30 posts. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: Ok, I have 30 posts but I cannot choose my own custom avatar? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Jr. Members can only use predetermined avatars (Elements images). If you want to have your own custom avatar, you need to become a Full Member which is 200+ posts. One other option is to become a forum staff member who can use any avatar regardless of post count. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: I can't post links on the forum, or my links won't work! Help! |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Links won't work for members with less than 5 posts. It's unfortunate, but we've had to do this to combat spambots. |

|
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: My post disappeared. What happened? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Most likely either your post broke the forum rules (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=rules) and it got deleted, or you posted it in the wrong section and it got moved. Posts that get moved usually have a 1-day redirection topic that acts as a link to the new location of your post. You can also go to your profile and check your post history (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts) to try to find the post. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: How do I change my forum profile settings? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Go the Forum Profile (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=forumprofile). |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: Forum time is wrong. How do I change it? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Go to Look and Layout (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=theme) and change time offset. You can also tweak other forum settings on this page. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: How can I find a specific post I'm looking for? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Use Advanced Search (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=search). |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: What different forum jobs are available? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | All current forum jobs are listed under Staff List (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=staff). |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: What are Masters? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Each of the 12 Elements has a Master. Master is a decorated veteran player of Elements who knows a lot about Elements and is usually skillful in PvP. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: How do I become a Master? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Before War, we hold the prestigious high-level Trials, during which all community members that have been around for more than 3 months with 200+ posts and 50,000+ score in Elements have a chance to compete for a spot to challenge a Master and fight for the title. More information here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/trials/). |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: What is a Grand Master? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Grand Master is basically a "Master of Masters", the highest rated non-staff title on this forum. Only one forum member at a time can be a Grand Master. The Grand Master has to defend his or her title against a Master who has won War. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: I want to suggest an idea for a new card, what do I do? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Read This (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5039.0.html) and post your idea Here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,6.0.html). Just know that there are hundreds of different ideas and it is very unlikely that your idea will be implemented in the game. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: I posted but my post count didn't increase. Why? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | You probably posted in the "Forum Games" section which is the only part of these forums where posting doesn't count towards your overall post count. Another option is that your post(s) got deleted which also deletes the record of that post ever being made. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: What is Reputation? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | Reputation is a small 'compliment' system designed to give points to those who either contribute fantastic ideas, help others on the forums (with deck building, editing card ideas, etc.), or do positive things in general. These points cannot be spent, but can help show off a person's positive character traits. - You gain +1 rep for each post. - You gain +3 rep for each topic. - You need to be Jr. Member or above (30+ posts) to give others reputation. - Your "Reputation Power" determines how much rep you give to a person. - You gain one Reputation Power for each 100 reputation points. - You one Reputation Bar (the green thing) for each 500 reputation points. - You can give reputation up to 5 times per day (to different users). - You can give reputation again to the same person after you've given reputation to one other person. - You cannot lose reputation. - You can disable reputation from your profile. You will still receive rep from others, but it will only be visible to you. - You can see who gave you reputation, and why, in your Profile - View Reputation (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=reputation). |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: How do I give Reputation? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | On the left side of every post, beneath the user's avatar, there is a little :electrum button. Clicking that button and providing a reason will give +rep to that person. You cannot give rep more than once an hour, and you cannot give rep to yourself. You need at least 30 posts to be able to do give Rep. |
(http://i.imgur.com/lBgHNtZ.png) | Question: I had a higher post count or some awards on the old forums. Where are they? |
(http://i.imgur.com/PpP0PUi.png) | They were not transferred. Visit the Profile Restoration Project (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38313.0.html) and post what you're missing and it may be re-added. |
I found a thread that says I'm a hacker! What is this?!Answer: "It's a thread that says you're a hacker. You'll get banned tomorrow."
I have a question, but I am hoping another who knows will provide the answer: How does one acquire Karma?On the left side of every post, beneath the user's avatar, there is a little + button. Clicking that button will give +1 karma to that person. You cannot give more than +1 karma to one person in an hour. You cannot give +karma to yourself. We used to be able to give -karma, but not anymore.
i cant find the karma button-also how do you get things like trivia quizzes or birthday cake?I believe to give karma you have to have at least 20 posts :/ (correct me if I'm wrong)
you should probably add how to upgrade cards, many newbies do not know how.This FAQ is only about these forums. We also have "Element FAQ" that answers to questions about the game. You can find it here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6451.msg73865#msg73865
scrap that, ALL newbies dont know how :P
Whom should one ask to get a thread moved... a global moderator? What is the best way to present a thread move request?Report the thread.
I feel like this is a foolish question but i honestly cant figure out how to post a new thread. Do i need to increase my post count to start threads or something?There should be a "NEW TOPIC" button on the top right of the page. Unless you're in a subforum that doesn't allow you to start new threads.
Is there any way to clear out the "Posting Activity By Time" section in my stats? I just now set the forum time to my local time and it would be interesting to see it correctly. It easy enough to adjust in my head at the moment, but over time the stats will get all messed up.Maybe you can ask ScaredGirl if you could create a new account and delete this one. Then you could get your name spelled correctly. :P
The only way I'd want to change my name is if I could change it in the game too. I messed it up there first and figured I'd keep the mistake when I registered for the forum. For anyone who hasn't noticed it's supposed to be the word "backward" spelled backward, but I accidentally kept the C and K in the original order. It's not too big a deal, but I did it correctly on Kong and it would be easier to PVP Duel if the names matched.Is there any way to clear out the "Posting Activity By Time" section in my stats?

Is it even possible to change my name but still keep the same account with the same cards and everything? That's probably a question for Zanz.Imagine you were Zanz and you received 20+ emails a day from people asking that two letters from their game account would change places. Now imagine doing those changes to Elements database every day.
Wow. A simple "No" would have sufficed. No biggie.Is it even possible to change my name but still keep the same account with the same cards and everything? That's probably a question for Zanz.Imagine you were Zanz and you received 20+ emails a day from people asking that two letters from their game account would change places. Now imagine doing those changes to Elements database every day.
Those kinds of useless emails should be avoided at all cost.
"Zanz, what is my password?"
"Zanz, can I change my password?"
"Zanz, what is my username?"
"Zanz, can I change my username?"
"Zanz, how can I upgrade a card?"
etc.
Emails like that are the reason why some important email might not get answered to. Nobody has time to answer to all those dumb questions and requests. I know this from a personal experience because I get a lot of PM's from people asking deckbuilding tips or some totally random stuff. I would image Zanz gets 10 times more mail than I do, so I don't blame him for answering every single one of them. I know I wouldn't.
You now have a chance to do the right thing and not bother the developer with the ridiculously insignificant thing.
greetings,You have to make a knew account. Probably.
i just formatted my pc and i forgot my password. what should i do to get a new password for my account?
Is there anyway to have notices go to your forum message box and not your email? I don't really want to receive emails but i do like the idea of being notified when i come to the forums...http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=notification

I it possible to get more than 3 lines of signature?Nope.
Weren't signature lengths going to be limited? I've not seen this happen and was wondering if it came into effect without me noticing or if the idea got scrapped.so far it's limited to 3 lines, but as many words as you want in those 3 lines
I meant based on member groups I remember being disappointed because my signature would've been clipped off before the end of it.Weren't signature lengths going to be limited?

Dear user. Your karma was changed.I know, that SG mentioned this feature here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5206.0.html), but´s a locked topic on page 4 of Forum News and Announcements. Couldn´t find another topic about this. You could also find this feature going through your profile options. But I think, many don´t find it, or don´t change the option, because they think they´d only get a message with "You got karma". Nothing else.
The reason of changing was: < insert the text of the text box >
Your karma was changed on this message:
< insert link to a topic >.
How do i rate a thread?You need to be a Jr. Member or higher (30+ posts).
i'm wanna know about reputation, attack and defence in my profile.....Reputation is basically the same as the old Karma system, only difference being that besides getting rep from other users, your forum activity also gives you rep. Also, the amount of rep you can give to others, is based on the amount of Reputation you have.
what is that (i'm think reputation is look like karma cuz now i'm don't see any karma?) but what about other?
How do I post an Image?Personally, I upload my image at http://imageplay.net/ first, you will then receive a direct link, which you can copy paste into forum posts surrounded by [img][/img] to get an image.
Posting this here because I'd like this mentioned in an obvious place and I don't want to spend another half an hour searching for this fact:this does not include code does it?
The character limit (unless this has been changed recently) is 65535 characters for a post.
Although if there's some bit of information I'm not aware of, someone should probably correct me :)
I have 30+ but I don't know how to put an elements avatar related avatar.Profile (top bar of forums) > Forum Profile > Personalized Picture > Choose Avatar from Gallery > Press Change Profile when you've selected an avatar

Lol these used to exist, but then they poofed when the forums got updated. We are still desperately searching for their whereabouts. I hear they're relaxing in the tropics."Rules" need to be updated =3What rules?

Question: Is every body automatically joined to the battle?i'm wanna know about reputation, attack and defence in my profile.....Reputation is basically the same as the old Karma system, only difference being that besides getting rep from other users, your forum activity also gives you rep. Also, the amount of rep you can give to others, is based on the amount of Reputation you have.
what is that (i'm think reputation is look like karma cuz now i'm don't see any karma?) but what about other?
That Attack and Defense is related to our new forum game, Battle (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=battle). You can find the link in the main navigation. It's basically this forum game you play using your forum account. Go check it out and you'll see.
How do I give Rep points?Beneath a person's avatar/username on a thread you'll see a :electrum icon. Click it to give rep points.
What means the stars behind some threads?
Star Rating System
We now have a topic rating system. Look for stars at the top of the original post. Click on the stars to rate the topic.
Facts about the rating system:
- You need to be Jr. Member or above (30+ posts) to be able to rate topics
- You cannot rate your own topics
- You can see the number of ratings given by moving your mouse cursor over those small stars on the right side of the topic title (not the big stars inside the topic).
- You cannot change your rating (keep this in mind when rating card ideas etc. that are still a work in progress)
- You cannot list topics by rating. This feature might be added later.
Rating guidelines:
1 star: topics that you think don't offer anything to anyone and should not been event started in the first place.
2 stars: topics that might not be completely useless, but are very close. Maybe they lack content or are very poorly written.
3 stars: topics that you consider average. They are ok, but nothing amazing.
4 stars: topics that go that extra mile and offer something special.
5 stars: topics that you think are amazing. For example, topics where the poster spent countless of hours building or developing something that benefits the whole community.
These guidelines above are just examples. You are of course free to use your own criteria. Just don't simply give 1 star to topics you don't like, and 5 starts to topics you do like. Those two scores should only be given to topics that are either really good, or really really bad.
*Cough* Some of the formatting was lost. What happened?The crawlers used to transfer threads to the new forums ate some of the more complex formatting.

Yes, ate, figuratively speaking. In order to enable the crawler to crawl everything before the time limit, it had to crawl the print pages. If you look at the print page of a topic, you'll notice that some complex formatting and tags are gone.ate?*Cough* Some of the formatting was lost.

(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd60358/nerd.jpg) Question:
Why cannot I choose an avatar?(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd60359/cool.png) You need to a Jr. Member for that, which means you have to have at least 30 posts.
Wouldn't it be "Why can't I choose an avatar? Or why can I not choose an avatar?
Thanks though, this has helped me a lot. ;D
Because you don't have enough posts on this one. That's just the forum software and that's why we have the Profile Restoration Project. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38313.0.htmlThe operation completed successfully. All your posts should now be linked to your new account. Uh-oh. There was an error retrieving your advanced account data.

How do you make a hyper link not the really long Url but into the little name for it like on Chapuz's signature?
[url=**address goes here**]**description text goes here**[/url]
Often it's unappreciated to post in "old" threads, which were inactive for a "long" time. Is there such a principle on this forum? There's no line about it in the Rules, but I'm still unsure.Generally Yes, but if what you're posting is contributing and not spam, it's fine. Also often better than making a new thread.
Generally Yes, but if what you're posting is contributing and not spam, it's fine.Thank you. I guess, good rule of thumb is "if thread is inactive for a week or more, think twice and then think twice again".
