Hi, It wasn't really the purpos sorry...
I'm new here, so i'm not so sure about the mechanics, i wanted to update it with the line in top... but as far a i know it doesn't have any effect on the challenge board so it doesn't really make sense... i'm just gonna delete it.

Have a nice day,

# DONT DELETE! you'll get arse-raped!
if you make an amendment to a pic, it's always best to edit your original post, or, if it's a ig enough change, post it in an existing thread to avoid pushing peoples work off the board...

However, this pic is actualy very good, so "Welcome to b3ta, sing a stool and pull up a cat, you'll never leave" or words to that effect.

# New images appear at the top
then drop down the board over time. The board can hold 15 threads at a time. When your thread falls off the bottom, that's it! Although you're more than welcome to repost it in other threads, try not to start a new thread with an old image!

# You can always edit your original post .
The reason people get pissed off about reposting like this is because it forces others' work off the board, since board only holds a fixed number of threads at one time. Don't worry about it, if it's an honest mistake no-one's going to have a real problem with it.

# *reels giddily from outpurring of b3ta fluffehness in these replies ^^^^*
Welcome, good n00b! Just as some extra help, here's the essence (as far as I know) of how /board works, culled from the FAQ, spiced with experience. (But you've clearly got the last 2 of the 3 golden rules sorted already):

Golden rules (especially for n00bs):
1. Read the FAQ (it's the official 'rules'). Or you'll get shouted at.
2. If you make a mistake, be ready to say "oops, sorry!": it really helps. Don't be cocky: it makes you look like a cock.
3. Please read people's replies to your posts, and join in the conversations: they help make B3ta a community.

New threads are precious:
4. Only start a new thread if you're posting a new image that's worth it.
- If it isn't, use "Reply" in an existing thread (or make your image better!).
- Why? Because /board only holds 15 threads: each click of "Post a new message" pushes other people's work off the bottom.
- The rule seems to be: don't use a new thread if you didn't put a reasonable creative effort into making your image.
5. Don't start a new thread to re-post the same (or altered) image.
- Especially not for compo reposts: Reply lets you choose "challenge entry" too.
6. Don't start a new thread with an unmodified photo (unless of a thing you made).
7. Don't start multiple new threads: it's greedy. If you want to post more, use Reply in your existing thread (if it's still on the board).

Images:
8. Only post stuff that you made.
9. Only post stuff that you uploaded (don't leach).
10. Don't post NSFW.
11. Not bigger than 100k bytes (50k preferred). Anims: not more than 400k.
12. Not more than 700px wide.
- If it's too big, compress it until it's small enough.
- If it's still too big, post a small thumbnail with a link instead (using: <a href="blahENORMOUS.jpg"> <img src="blahThumb.jpg" /> </a>).

If you cock up:
13. Never use Delete (it also removes everyone's replies!): use the Edit button instead.
14. If you started a new thread by accident, say sorry. (And don't delete it!).

NSFW:
Whatever you put in a message will be downloaded and seen by all b3ta readers, often on their work computer. You could get someone sacked on the spot, or put through a disciplinary investigation that's not much better, because their manager thought it looked a bit like porn from 10 feet away. Do not do it. (For the record all these are no defence: "it isn't actually porn", "you can't see his/her whatever", "you're such a prude", "but no-one complained about this one *points at some-other-image*"). You can link a NSFW image (using: <a href="nekkid.jpg">NSFW!</a>), warning people that it's a NSFW link.

This is just a summary, hopefully useful as a quick checklist when posting. I welcome suggestions for improving it (gaz me).
