Those are the options I have for 'upgrades.' Really, there's not too much this host really makes me want for. We've only had three downtimes, and they were very short and they were early on. Everything is pretty easy to work, albeit a little tedious. Almost have a full set of emoticons, thanks to Ichisumi and Mai as well.

I am so very please, Dame, that you enjoy the forum, I strive very hard to make sure that everyone feels welcomed at all times. My thoughts are, "If you're nice, you have nothing to worry about here."

i was wondering is there a maximum seize for how big a signature picture should be?

if this post is in the wrong tread please move it

Not at all. 100 X 100 is the max size. :3

If you have problems with resizing your avatar, email tsurukomaiko AT gmail.com with your avatar and your user name. I'll resize it and change your avatar to the correct size.

another silly question, just so that i get it right XD
i understand that the avatar under ones name should be max 100x100, and that rule applies to signatures too ? or can ones signature be like 200x100?

No limit on signatures. I don't have no set in stone limits long as it does not stretch the boards and isn't too huge. A smallish image, some text, it's fine with me.

thanks for you help

I have a question on avatars.
I read that if we sent you a picture you would resize it, could you also set it as my avatar?
I can't set an avatar cause I use my blackberry phone to acces this site (I don't have a computer) I have the picture on my blackberry though. Is it possible you could do that for me?

You can use this for resizing a photo: http://www.picresize.com/

It's free!

Of course I can do that! I'd be more than happy to help you out.

Just email it to me at TsurukoMaiko AT Gmail.com and include your user name and I'll get to it ASAP.

Thanks for the avatar help, Tsuruko! I really appreciate it!

It's no problem, Tsukiryuu, it's what I'm here to do. :3

New Member Advertising Initiatives:


If you have a Youtube account and you own videos, please advertise this forum by posting a link to the forum in your video or on your Youtube Channel.

I am working on a Presentation Style Youtube Video all together for TsurukoMaiko Forum advertising but already, I see a lot of Guest visiting the forum from just the edits I made this morning to ask people to join the forum.

So if you own a Youtube account, one way to do this is to post a link to the forum in your channel description.

If you also have Geisha videos on your account, you could advertise us by providing a link to this forum on the video description of your videos or, more affectively, place an annotation in the video. Run it for a couple seconds or a couple minutes if you would like. Although, if you do that, you have to post a link in your video description anyway.

An example is with my video, I put up an annotation running 20 seconds on one video saying "If you would like to learn more about Maiko and Geiko, please visit the TsurukoMaiko Forum, the link is in the description."

Try this one out for size.

Also, if you would like us and other forum members to visit your Youtube Channel, I am going to start a "Pimp My Youtube" thread in the General Chat section. You help us and we will help you!!!!

If you need help with annotations, ask me.

the forum was down for me a couple of times today... is this normal? :/

it kinda bothered me as i wanted to so some work in here

I had the same problem. I guess it was just a glitch?

i don't know... but it's not the first time it happens. well, it's often during my working hours at the office so it's not like i could hang out here a lot, but sometimes it's also at evening for me. >_<
