Advanced Member Usergroup

[TickleTheater]

Hello,

You may have noticed some different colored usernames amongst the listings of Who's Online, as well as their names posted in threads. Members who have the blue coloring in their username indicate they have been promoted to the Advanced Member usergroup.

What are the benefits of being an Advanced Member?

• Full Access to our newly installed TickleTheater Blog
• Full Access to Social Groups

• Added Customization Options to Profile Styling due to the Above
• Added 150x150 Profile Picture Upload to Member Profile
• Increased PM Storage Limit
• Additional Benefits Possible...

How do I become an Advanced Member?

The basic criteria for becoming an Advanced Member of the site is being registered for 30 days and have at least 100 forum posts.

Please note that any attempt to spam your way to 100 will result in an account being disabled which coincidentally resets your 30 day waiting period even if you make a new account.

There can be exceptions into getting an early promotion within reason. Simply PM a Staff Member explaining your case.

Members who have not reached 30 days of membership and 100 posts will still have all the same access and posting permissions as before. They may also Reply and View Blog Entries, Public Picture Albums, and Public Social Groups.

Any other questions can be posted to this thread.

User Questions and Answers...

Q. How many PM's do Advanced Members get to store now?
A. up to 300

Q. How can I add a background image to my Member Profile?
A. Please follow these steps:

1. Go to your Member Profile and create an Album; make sure to set it to Profile and not Public or Private.
2. Upload your background image. I suggest a tile image since the maximum size is 600x600 pixels.
3. Go to your Customization Options and under Main Options > Background Image > Click the Image icon to the right and you should see the Profile image you just uploaded.

That's it. You may set that image to repeat itself if you desire, and you may also set a Background Color to go along with the image.
