Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

My inclination would be this: if it's near the top of the topic list, just edit the title to reflect the change, but if it's pretty far down - far enough that people wouldn't notice it - I'd change the title and bump it.
Too much else to reply to on my slow connection, so I'll go for this question.
Hmm... I'd give myself magical powers! Shape-shifting abilities! Now that'd be a "change" XD (*Bricked*)
Anyways, a self-esteem up-lift could do me wonders in certain areas of my life. It seems the majority of people I meet these days (and have met) have self-esteem issues, though, so I guess everyone could use a shot there.

Double posting is bad, end of story, unless you're bumping your own topic in the pit of creativity (that is, bumping your art, sprite, or fic thread with things that actually belong there. Not as in "okay bumping this topic 'cause no one has replied yet" type)
Even if you do get tired of the moderation button, you still have to use it unless used in the circumstance above. Even if you're replying to your own post, yes, you still should edit your post. 'Course, you can always say "Edit" at the bottom to show you've editted your post and what you added in/"replied" to yourself, though I really can't think of a situation where you have to reply to yourself.
Hope that makes at least some sense.

i have been trying all night to put pics in my siggy but as of yet i still havent... can someone plz help me so i can go to bed!!! send me a message plz!
This question has been answered a bajillion times already and I am growing VERY tired of seeing it.
To put a picture in your avatar, upload it to something like Photobucket or Imageshack, and stick the uploaded image's URL in image tags ([ img] and then [ /img], just without the spaces).
And for the record, 'plz' is not a word and that it far to many exclamation points. You're requested to go and read the rules, please.

Now I get to the final step and click to finish making my card, and it never comes up.
Funny. I have over 4000 posts and I've never gotten tired of modifying my posts. It takes just as much effort to hit "edit" as it does to post a new message XP

I'm guessing that you were warned for the post earlier in this topic, the post that Stel commented on. If I had to go out on a limb, I'd say it's because you were asking a very oft-repeated question and that Stel took umbrage with your spelling (the abbreviations of words like 'please' and 'seriously', for example). Specifically, such behaviors are covered in our rules, which is why you got warned.
But as I said, I'm guessing, so Stel, feel free to correct me. XD

Actually it was about this thread. And I HAVE replied to that explaining why he was warned. >>;;
... HOWEVER. Considering the way he posts (4? u? plz?) I don't think he has any further reason to be here. I'm giving you ONE more chance to read the rules and speak ENGLISH and not chatspeak. I see any of this again, you get banned. Capisce?

Stuff like these make me ask, why don't newbies read the rules before they post stuff?

Here's the deal.
These are newbies, m'kays? Some of them don't even know what the hell a forum is, let alone that this place has rules. Pokecharms could be their first forum ever, and so therefore they tend to act n00bish and stuff. Some of them may have some common sense, and the smarter ones may even be able to avoid warnings. Others are not so fortunate enough to have a brain, and even after constant pestering to read the rules, they still don't get what they're supposed to do. When these newbies to eventually read the rules, they'll usually go like, "Oh my gosh, I've been acting like an idiot this whole time I've been here." But there're still those rebellious by nature, and even after they read the rules they go like pffffft i dun care wut happenz to me lol (yes I fail at chatspeak but you get my point).
I'm speaking from my own experience here, so it may not be accurate but meh. That's what it was like for me; I joined the forums when I was 11 and had no idea what a forum was, and I didn't know this place had rules/where the rules were. But at least I used correct grammar and didn't double-post so I avoided warnings, though looking back at some of my older posts I can really see how much of a n00b I was. I guess I really have evolved a lot. XD

Isn't there another exception? (It still falls into the bumping category, but not necessarily in the Creative stuff.) What if I have a trade thread that has been inactive for a while and I edit to revamp the first post. Even if I had the last post in it, I am still allowed to double post to bump it, right?
Also, I was wondering what was going on with the newbies running around with custom avatars. Was there a rule switch and I missed it, or is this simply an overlooked permissions issue?
Ah yes, thanks for letting us know about that. It seem that when we were fixing the permissions for the regular members as a whole we forgot to set the Newbie group back to having no avatar capabilities. xD
I fixed it now.

Is the Charms Dex down for maintenance or something? As i can't get it to work when i click it from the top right hand corner.
The Wi-Fi forum is for arranging trades, battles and other Wi-Fi affairs. A discussion on the game would be in the Pokemon Games Discussion forum - which is what that topic would fall under.
Hrm, this would vary for every staff member, probably. Who do you think is the most n00bish n00b that you've seen on this site?
Considering you reported a post from 2004 the other day, I'm extremely tempted to say you 
.
....I meant of n00bs that went too far xP
Well, consider that abuse of the post-report system is also against the rules.
Soooo... what Doc said may not be too far off. P:

I can't find the rank information. i'd like to know when i have two pokeballs, when i have three, etc.
Does someone know?

Thanks a lot, looks like i have a long way to go...
It's such a shame that posts on Forum Games and Ya Seriously don't count.
But, that would make it way too easy.

How do I get my eggs on the forum?
http://www.gpxplus.net. I think you need to sign up before you can get Eggs there. Once you do, just add them into your sig. Btw, Linkachu, how did you get that Dark Zangoose or whatever it is?
They're called Zergoose, they're one of the Novelty pokeymans, and Zergoose eggs rarely appear in the shelter.
Now please direct all the rest of the GPX+ questions to GPX+'s forums. We have nothing to do with them. >>

This question is for all of you:
Is it hard being a mod/working on Pokecharms?
Is it hard being a mod/working on Pokecharms?
Yes and no. I'm feeling pretty not-witty at the moment, so I'll give a not witty reply.
For me, it's awesome being part of the staff on Pokecharms. I love the site, the home online it has given me, the fact that it's a place to funnel all of my Pokemon-related ideas, and the people I've met through it. In that light, it's not hard at all - it's fun.
That said... Rules need to be made, reviewed/edited, and upheld on a regular basis. There's always someone who's breaking 'em, so it keeps us busy. It can get annoying after awhile, but it comes with the job. Not really sure if "hard" would be the right word for dealing with rule-breakers, tho. It can just be time-consuming and a bit headachey.
Really, the hardest part of being an admin/news poster person on Charms is trying to give it the attention it deserves when life stuff zaps all my energy/focus/spare time/etc. I'd love to be creative enough to keep our news feed updated regularly, but I'm just not always feeling that creative, can't always get to the interesting news when I'd like to (or find it at all), and sometimes simply don't have the energy to put anything decent together. Yeah... that's the hardest part =/
No idea. At all. And impossible to check since we were never really keeping track.
I'm not even sure I'd want to think about the total number to be honest... XP
Infinity divided by Pi.
That's a lotta n00bs.
That's a lotta n00bs.
has any of the n00bs try to piss you off when they got their little "promotion" to n00b who went to far?
