Hello Hi.

Ok I have recently seeing many posts of newbies who are confused about forum.I will try my best help you.With things I know.

In India Forum Newbies have considerable restriction.They are not allowed to make more than 10 posts in 24 hrs,they have to type verification code while starting a topic and their PM inbox have limited storage of max 50 messages.Then they are not allowed to post links.These restrictions are taken on precaution measures to avoid spamming

Spamming is an activity in the forum done by few rule breakers.Their only intention is to create unrest in forum by either making instigating posts or making posts with speculations or offending actors.Few pople post links which are unfunctional .Jut to grab attention.

so we can clearly say this activity is to grab attention.So to save forum of all this chaos few rules are meant to be made.

Then about forum grouping.You will get promoted to higher rank once you make certain number of posts.

Newbie 0-49

groupbie 50-199

Senior member 200-999

GOLDIE 1000-2499

DAZZLER 2500-4999

ROCKERS 5000-10000 and more

There is restriction on number of posts for newbies and broupbies.

With increase in rank your pm storage increases.

Then so if you plan properly and utilize your ten posts in 24 hours you will be able to turn to groupbie in 5 days.

Newbies can share links once they post 25 posts.

Then about few basic terms used

sbb,sbs,nn,e24.

these are the NEWS PROGRAMS related to television and bollywood aired in their respective chanels.They will give glimpse of upcoming episode and few times scenes.You can get news of them in forum from 12-4 .based on airing.

There are few people in forum who will keep check on these activities and provide us with written updates and links if they find.

But point to remember you need not trust them completely.Few times they speculate things to get their TRP'S.

OLV'S. also BTS

ON LOCATION VIDEOS./Behind the screen.

These are raw videos taken on sets .on how shooting went.They will be around 2min to 20 min in length.They will just give glimpse on upcomming scenes.These are not aired in any channel but comes online to say uploaded on youtube.

FF-Fan fictions

SS- Short stories

os -one shot

TS-TWO SHOT OR THREE SHOT.

these are all stories written by forum members on their own interest.

These talented writers use their creativity and write beautiful stories to share with us.

IF YOU HAVE ANY THING IN MIND YOU CAN FREELY WRITE AND POST YOUR STORY IN FORUM.OUR FORUM IS A VERY GOOD PLACE WHERE WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SHOW THEIR SKIL AND SHOW THEIR IDEAS AND CREATIVITY.

IF YOU HAVE FEAR WHETHER IT WILL BE ACCEPTED OR NOT LEAVE IT YOU WILL SEE YOURSELVES IN OTHER END ONCE YOU CROSS IT.

SO PLZ BE FREE TO WRITE YOUR STORIES.

Then how ranking works.

IF RANKING DEPENDS ON RATINGS OF THAT SERIAL.That ratings counts on number of visitors,registered members article activity of that serial.So don't forget to keep your fav in check.

You can find a star beside myforums don't forget to click it.So keep commenting on all articles related to serials,actor profiles etc.

FORUM RANKINGS WILL BE RELEASED ON TWO DAYS.

Monday on serials and their rankings

tuesday on actors .

They will be released mostly after 12PM.

I will update below on how to post images and links

this box you will find it while making a post.

I am not explainning all as you will find most in MS WORD.

I am here to explain two boxes which we have to use for posting links or images

You can recogonize the smiley one you can keep smileys in your post using it.

then comming to first left of it.

it is box used for posting images.

once you click it you will get a new window opened.there you have to paste shortened image link.

Shortened means.

You should have an account in imgur or any image storing websites.

All the links of images must be from that websites.Creating an account is not problem.in it.

Directs url from google or fb can not be posted in IF.

Then on clicking ok you can post image.

then comming to left of image link.is the LINK'S one for posting links and urls

It is an easy task to paste links in IF You just need a proper link and that box will automatically paste it.

then to embed the link.

You first have to select which one to embed.

EX I want to embed the link this same post.

Hope it helps.SAKIV'S BANTER

you have to select all this using mouse.

then you have to click on link box.

then there you have to replace selected on by link.

Hope it helps.SAKIV'S BANTER

then you will get it embedded..

See the above image.You can see two codes typed.

This is easy way of posting images and embedding youtube videos.

This is the image link which I used ,

https://i.imgur.com/SyAqv69.png

when the link is pasted in same order we can see the image directly.

You no need to go for extra dialogue boxes.

same way for youtube.

this is the youtube link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-fEL-G2Uz8

when posted in that sequence .

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-fEL-G2Uz8[/YOUTUBE]

remember it should be https:// not https:// if there is s extra edit it out.

Then same works with the words LINK to

for short cuts replace IMG /YOUTUBE by link it will post link also,

But to embed small change in code

after link in first box

[LINK=paste the link]

close the box

then instead of link in between you have to Write the heading you want.
