Greeting friends - This forum is for all off topic discussion of your choice.  Of course you can always start any topic in General Discussion, but if it's a little too different of a topic, feel free to post it here. Anything you want.

Start a new thread for your topic.

Best,
AFT

We'll still nail 'em just the same. Hachi, did you draw your anime avitar? It's a cute drawing. How do you put a personalized pic in there?

Excellent idea Albert   

Is it possible to highlight the chat room icon when someone is in there?
I believe the chat function is highly underused by members ( admits to hanging in there on my own )

Also, how do you embed YouTube videos?
Didn't there used to be a button ?

Haha thanks, onefluover. I  actually didn't draw that pic, but i do draw anime  and manga  characters. The way you personalize your icon is in manage profile next to the icon section, you add your icon url. :) hope that helps. Is there a way to make tablet or phone posting more user friendly?  feels like formating issues arise often when i post by phone. Such as not always able to paste from clipboard. Also insert errors occur.
Be prepared! It may be time....^_^v

lol.... thanks hach.  There won't be any spam.  We simply said this forum is a little less moderated to entice people to talk about what they want without fear of getting in any trouble.  We still don't allow spamming and personal attacks.

Hey boss, there are a few threads hanging around out there that might be better in here.  Like the religious one you slapped my wrist over.  Embarrassed

I would not dare to move any of them, but am asking nicely if you think this a good idea?

I think it's a great idea! I do hope each off topic thread can stay on its own topic tho. I get the impression there will be quite a few hot button issues here, which I personally plan to avoid. But I think it's a great opportunity for members to discuss things that they seem to need to. Thank you for the new category :-)!
