Frequently Asked Questions
NOTE: Character creation is currently on hold while we finish designing our new region! Please feel free to play in our Be-A-Pokémon section, or lend a helping hand and leave your mark on the Beyria region while it is still being developed!
Q: What is the thread with [R] in the title?
A: The [R] thread is our spam, or random thread. It is somewhere to post nonsense or just idly chat with other members, rather than discussing topics or roleplaying. The [R] comes from the original title of '[R]andom Thread', and any thread with [R] in the title is just for random posts (the main thread undergoes title changes occasionally).
Q: How can I change my profile?
A: Your profile is the thing on the left of your posts, or what people see when they click on your username. You can have a custom avatar and signature. Just click 'Profile' on the menu bar and follow the instructions to edit these.
Q: How do I set a background for my profile?
A: When editing your profile, under 'Personal' you can set a custom background and text colour for your profile as it appears next to posts. You can use a solid colour or use an uploaded image.
Q: How do I get a Pokémon?
A: Read the rules thread, located here. Then go to the Applications board (here) and read the stickied posts. They will explain how to create a character and what happens next.
Q: Is this a browser game?
A: No. This is a text-based roleplay game, which means you have to think up stories in your head and type them out. There's no 'web game'.
Q: How do I create a character?
A: Go to the Applications board (here) and read the stickied posts. They will explain how to create a character and what happens next.
Q: How long will it take for a moderator to reply? / Why is it taking so long for a moderator to reply?
A: A moderator will reply just as soon as they see a post which needs their attention. You're free to PM someone to bring it to their attention. Replying may take anything from a few minutes to a whole day. If it takes longer than two days, please send me a PM and I will sort it out. While you're waiting, check out the rest of the forum for things to do.
Q: Can I be a staff member?
A: We may occasionally hold staff applications, so look out for those. Do not PM staff members asking to be promoted, and do not backseat moderate (tell moderators how to do their job, or do their job for them). If you're active and respected, you might get a chance to be staff.
Q: What is a PM? / How do I check my PMs?
A: A PM is a Personal Message, or a direct message sent to you by another member. You can check them by clicking on the 'Messages' button on the menu bar, which will take you to your inbox.
Q: How do I advertise my forum?
A: Go to the Advertisements board, located here. Please read the stickied threads for information on etiquette.
Q: How do I affiliate with Yusoh?
A: We do not accept affiliates. Either advertise in the Advertisements board, or contact me directly for further information.
Q: My question isn't on this list, how do I ask it?
A: Make a new thread in this board, and a staff member will endeavour to answer it as soon as possible. You can also leave suggestions for features you want to see on the site.
