How Much Will It Cost Me To Join LDQ?
Nothing! And this is no joke. LUVN DQUE is a free hosted forum, which is why I CANNOT charge membership. Even if it wasn't, why would I? I want to share experiences with every DQUE fan and for that it would be so wrong to charge membership.

How Old Do I Have To Be To Join LDQ?ProBoards (our host site) has set some guidelines (Please read the Proboards T.O.S.) with infants under the age of 13 registering on their forums. So under their guidelines I can only accept registration from persons 13 (with parental consent) and older. Otherwise, there is no age limit.

Do I Have To Have Prior Knowledge of HTML & BBC To Become Part of The LUVNDQUE Staff?For staff positions of co-admin and Gmod, yes you need to know both HTML & BBC since you will be working with the forums coding or at least learning to work with codes. First things first, I'd like all prospects to thoroughly know UBBC/BBC. BBC is an acronymn for Bulletin Board Code. Hence this is a bulletin board there's a special language to better serve the purpose of the bulletin board much like MS word & many word processors. You have Italics: [i]Italics[/i] Bold: [b]Bold[/b] Underline: [u]Underline[/u] & many more fun and artistic ways to post on bulletin boards. Proboards makes things easier when you post since they have supplied buttons that will add one of those effects to text when you click it. However, I'd like my staff to know it when using signatures or the news fader (which actually takes HTML). Those buttons are as follows: - For BOLDED TEXT
- For Italicized Text
- For UNDERLINED TEXT
- For
STRIKING THROUGH TEXT
HTML should be known by everyone who is inquiring co-admin positions on the forum. However, any MODERATORS inquiring should be able to understand and know primarily BBC.

I Registered But Never Received An Activation Code, What Do I Do?
Most likely you registered with an email account which adds new addresses to the SPAM box. For instance, AOL has some type of immediate filter for certain types of mail sent to an account. Which means the mail never reaches your inbox; but it goes straight to the spam box. So its advised that you check your spam box.
If you send me a message or email asking me to give it to you, I'm telling you now I can't. I have no control over actual activation codes. They are sent from ProBoards. So what I can tell you to do now is to just replace the old email with a new one when you go to activate it and click activate now. This time the new code will be sent to your new address given.

What Are Skins?
Skins are just different templates or layouts on the forum for you all to choose from. Usually a color scheme or different banner.
You can choose your skin from the skin selector in your profile. If you don't see one, its because there is only one skin on the forum currently.

KyToy, when you make your banners and things for the forums, where do you go to find the pictures of DQUE & other celebrities? You always use pictures that are usually of the same person just in another pose, how can I do that?Its quite easy. Go online type in Google.com and look for the celeb that you like and next to their name type in FANSITE. Why do I do this? Its easier to find a stock of photo shoot pictures which are usually the person in the same clothes, background, hair & makeup... but in several poses. So when I go to make my banners, its easy to stay consistent with the image & colors. However, when using images that you have found from other sites, ALWAYS credit that site for those found images. For you do NOT own the copyright for those images and so therefore you should not give the perception that YOU found them and rendered them. DesigningI use Paint Shop Pro X. And basically, to get them the way that I do is use the background eraser tool and erase the background and then select the image (magic wand tool) and go over to "Selection" >> "Modify" >> "Feather/Unfeather". This fades the edges of the image that's selected. It makes it easier for me to blend objects together. I hope that was a help.

What Is The Too Many Connections Page About?For those who experience the Too Many Connections error page.
Too Many Connections, also known as TMC, is caused when a server becomes a little overloaded. It's nothing bad; just the server trying to protect itself against a crash. When this happens, please do not keep refreshing your page, as this adds additional stress to the server, and forces the TMC page to keep displaying. So when you are experiencing the TMC page, please just close the window and try again later. If you were posting something, I'd suggest you type it up in NOTEPAD and save it until the issue with the forum server is cleared.
