Announcement Welcome to the RPF's Forum Upgrade Support Thread

The new website looks great.
One minor thing that has me puzzled is what the heck are Trophy Points? and how are they calculated? They don't seem to correspond to "posts" or "likes" or whatever. I've poked around the site, but I can't seem to find anything about the formula.
So how does it work?

 

How does one access therpf store to renew their premium membership? I can’t seem to find it on the mobile version

 

having issues trying to renew my yearly membership...

 

oh thank god! im back! * those ad's to h3ll!!

 

Having issues with uploaded images. Whilst I can upload an image with the 'Upload a File' button, I'm no longer getting an option to show the image as an inline or thumbnail. When I look at my post there is no image. Only an attached file is showing with no thumbnail. If you click on it then the image does open. See post 52 here.

 

Is the limit resolution or file size? I can refactor but it would be useful to understand the maxima.

 

Ah. I was going to point out that the image was about 4.2Mb and no more than 6000 x 4000. The camera is a Sony A7 III. I wonder if it’s an issue with bits per pixel or embedded metadata.

 

Again, about the Trophy points.

How are they awarded? Does the site compute them with some formula? Or are they awarded by staff?
And why don't they actively change as we make more posts and get more likes? If that is how they are figured.

Mine hasn't budged once; and be the egotist that I am, I want to move up to the next level!

 

If you click on the trophy points number under your avatar you can see which ones you've been awarded.
You can also view all the available trophies here: Trophies | RPF Costume and Prop Maker Community

 

Is it calmed down enough to check on the non-Animating-Avatars ? I can see my animated avatar in my account details, but it doesn't animate in the Forums.

 

I see the list of awards, but what I want to know is why aren't the numbers changing since the first computation was done? There have been plenty of Posts, Likes, Quotes, etc... since November - but the points haven't changed.
What gives?

 

Thresholds huh? I looked at the list of my points, but I didn't see anywhere about thresholds. Is there a counter that could tell me how close I am to the different thresholds?
I'm not upset about this. I'm just really close to the next Trophy level, and want to keep track of how I'm progressing.

Before the change over, there was a constant counter of Posts to inspire us to contribute. Now my number never changes.

 

The only counters that I can find are for Posts and Likes. How can I find out how many of the other things I have? -like Quotes and Media Uploads?

 

Likes, messages and YEARS here, are the main factors in Trophies. You can check each of those. Not really that much other stuff gets any significant points.

 

Noticed something a little weird. The word "f l a n g e" is being censored and replaced with an asterisk in posts and messages (see: flange). As far as I know that's not a dirty word and is a pretty common technical descriptor term.

 

When I google it with the word "size", the first thing that pops up is "pumps" for lactating women.

 

Hmm, odd. What's funny is that when I got the email notification of your reply, the quote of my original post still had the original word rather than the asterisk.

 

Can the search function drop down be disabled while making a title in the Junkyard? It's rather annoying:

 

Thanks, Art!

 

Awesome idea. I had the same issue last week and didn’t think to ask about it.

Thank you Art for removing it.

 

Okay, before the Animated Gifs had to be really small. But the info now says at least 200x200 pixels.
I increased the resolution of my animated Gif and it now appears to be working.

---edit----

It needs to be exactly 200x200 or it cuts off the picture.

 

Am I the only one getting ads on the site, despite premium membership?
