How do I know where to put my threads?

Each section has a short description accompanying it; that and the title should give you some indication of what should be placed in there. If you are still unsure, check the stickies or contact a staff member.

Even if you place a thread in the wrong section, one of our staff members will happily move it for you.

How do I get an avatar?

You can select an avatar by clicking your name’s dropdown and clicking the avatar image. Avatars and icons can be found all over the web; please note that you should check with the creator’s policies for use, and give credit where credit is due!

Alternatively, you can visit our Graphics Shop and request a custom avatar from one of our many talented designers.

Please note that GIFs do not always work as avatars, due to an issue with image processing on our server. We are trying to resolve the problem, but static images work best!

How do I download videos off the site?

Scroll to the top of the page and hover over the Media tab on the navigation bar. A pop-out menu will appear, with Cutscene Archive as one of the sublinks. Each Kingdom Hearts box will be listed into its own individual box—find the one you’d like to download from, and choose from the listed options!

After that, you will be brought to a page that lists the various cutscenes available from the game. Click the Download now… link or image; from there, the download will either launch, or the link will take you to Mediafire.

If you need any assistance at all with downloading cutscenes, feel free to post in our Site Assistance section.
