Understandably, most of us are still getting adapted to this new site. I know I am. If you've got a question about the website such as how to perform an action, change something on a profile, or other issues please ask here rather than create your own thread. Thanks!

What exactly are hangouts? When I clicked on EtcetEra and hangouts they seemed the same to me. Is there anything that I'm missing?

Think of it like the community tab at NeoGAF without, hopefully, the stigma of being the website's redheaded stepchild.

Click the Hangouts link and explore!

Yeah, I'm going to explore this site a ton. Also, I've never been on NeoGAF. The first time I went was yesterday just to see the sites layout. So hopefully I can learn, and get accustomed quick, haha. Thanks for telling! :D

Can I change my work email to a Gmail one after the registration? Don't want to give access to my employer / clog up work email with resetera related stuff.

Unfortunately, no. But you can click off the option to allow the forum to send you e-mails in your preferences. However, I don't believe that applies to password reset e-mails.

What's the secret for avatar quality? My source file I'm using is crisp and clear, but anytime I upload it to here it turns into the blurry mess it is now. I've messed around with the size of the original, upped the quality on the jpeg a bit, they all seem to have the same blurry outcome.

Any word on banned games like there were on gaf? I'm of the opinion there really shouldn't be provided people aren't drooling over the NSFW aspects of them.

I think the issue is that they ask for a 200 x 200 image, but then size it down to 96 x 96 on their end.

NSFW games will not be allowed.
To expand on that, here's what SweetNicole posted in another thread on that subject:

On the topic of NSFW and what defines it, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly declined to strictly define "obscenity." Instead, the justices wisely settled on a "we know what's obscene when we see it" type of approach. And that's what we're going to do here. We cannot articulate a precise guideline as to what will be or won't be allowed. Instead, we will approach things on a case-by-case basis. We encourage our users to exercise restraint when it comes to posting questionable material.

In a less legal-speak, if you wouldn't want someone to see you looking at it at work, don't post it on ResetEra. Keep things PG-13.

Is there any benefit to having filled in the 'previous community profile' tab when registering? I hope this question hasn't been asked a hundred times before, my apologies if that is the case.

Thanks for the above, I meant to do this in the past but when I regain thread abilities on here I would like to make an OT for Podcasters. Unless someone else wants to handle that.

What are the qualifications I need to hit to regain full member status since I didn't make it through the discord wave?

Also I just noticed the report button, very nice.

To become a full member you need to have at least 100 posts and 60 days of membership.

What's the character limit on posts?

Last time I checked it was around 19,000 words.

Hi all. Is there anyway to disable double-click to edit our posts. It gets in the way of an extension of mine.

Is there a way to always show page count on the main thread view? It's a good way to see how popular a post is, or if there's been any significant movement since your last visit.

when you click on someone's avatar a window pops up with info about them that says "(gender) from (location)", would it be possible to expand this to be able to include someone's pronouns?

I haven't chosen a gender as there were only 2 listed, so mine just says my location.

Thanks! Bummer on the time but oh well. Maybe I can find someone else to make an OT.

Maybe someone should make a OT suggestion thread? I fully understand why things work the way they do but some people really contributed on Voldemort forum and if it where possible mods should consider to give out some full memberships? I'm not talking about my self but just to take an example. Sir crocodile was a ambitious OT maker an appreciated by us who had an special interests in point and click adventure games. I really hope that we can nourish the same amount of quality here or else a big reason for beeing on a gaming forum disappear. The same reasoning does probebly apply to other smaller topics and interest.
A way to kickstart reset era in that aspect could be to allow some exceptions.

What's the requirements to make a thread? It says I don't have sufficient priviledges but I'm not a junior member (unless the rank has same name? and if so, how are people going to know if they've been promoted?). I just registered not that long ago but I'm assuming I skipped the junior process because I was member on NeoGAF?

Also i think that "Voldemort forum" was very funny. I consider professional clown school.

I think its 100 posts and 60 days of membership?

That's not that much actually. Things will explode 60 days from now thou

ResetEra Terms of Service said:
12. By submitting user content to ResetEra, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, perform, or publicly display your user content in any medium and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, and to authorize others to do so.
Are the Terms Of Service likely to change or are they set in stone? I'm particularly worried that point 12 will put a lot of people off contributing to art/photography/game development etc threads, since it seems pretty heavy-handed unless I'm reading it wrong?

Sorry to make my first post here a slightly negative one! I'm really impressed with the site and look forward to using it daily regardless, but I'd be happier if this point could be removed/toned down.

Hi, I have a question.
Now that I've registered using a university email, can i change my email address to my Gmail? because that's the one I actually check.
I see this in the settings but I'm not sure what it means:
"If you change your email, you may need to reconfirm your account."

I think I get it, but just want to be 100% sure. Would games with NSFW aspects that are not primarily about said aspects allowed to be discussed? There are several visual novels that may be 3% explicit porn and 97% story, with discussion always focusing on the latter. I'm obviously not talking about posting pics of NSFW content or anything like that, only the discussion part.
