Question 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
I usually 신고 these kind of picks/answers and they get deleted as they are effectively spam. The drawback is: all information users leave in the 코멘트 is lost.
link seems to only be used 의해 a limited number of 팬 and though I use it frequently I hate how all information is 로스트 in the multiple pages after a while.
I found the officiallinkdon't cover all the basics as I usually like to refer people there.
Also this is in no way meant to rival the very well writtenlink which is much 더 많이 detailed.

ArianaIsMine HEY I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! How do I post Gifs to my profile?
Flickerflame ^It can't be done. You can't have a gif as an icon. It was only possible for a short while, years ago, as part of a glitch. They probably take up too much space.
mattk22 Idk if this problem has been discussed but
Ihave made some quiz questions on the television group and i want my friends to anwser them
Is it possible to add them to my own group as well?
If any1 can help id be very grateful
Thanks again
Flickerflame ^I think it ought to be possible to add the same quiz question to more than 1 club. You just make a quiz question again, in your own club.
xXxAngelessxXx has something changed? because i can't block because that option isn't visible under that person's message and i want to block them ^^;; is there another way this can be done?
LowriLorenza89 ^I just checked and it was possible for me. Go to your inbox and open a message from whoever you want to block. Click on Block User (the third green button beneath the message). A warning comes up asking if you're sure you want to move their future messages to trash, so select Yes there.
