Accounts

With most browsers, when you upload a user pic to the site, you simply give your pic a title, then browse your computer and upload your file - uploading your file will give you a preview image of the picture which is slightly bigger than normal - and then you press 'submit' to save your picture and the title of it.

With Chrome, it doesn't work like this. With Chrome, when you browse to find your file and upload it, the browser will give you a pop up window with an error message. There is no reason for this message! Ignore it - close down the pop up window and carry on regardless. The site will not give you a preview image, but if you title your pic and save it, it will appear in your gallery.

To get create an account, you first choose which game you are going to be playing in. Then, once you go into that game's system, you go to 'create an account'. You enter in whatever you want for your character's journal, and your email address, and there you go. You will get an email shortly after with your temporary password, and a link you can click that will bring you into the system for a one time use log in where you can change all of your information, put in the password you want, change your layout theme, upload an icon, and enter in your character information.

No - if you leave the game, your account will be changed to 'view only' status - which will allow you view access (but not posting rights) to the community. The amdinistrators do, however, reserve the right to delete your account in cases of abuse.

RPGDreams is not responsible for lost passwords. Remember your passwords, and it is likely a good idea to keep the email that is sent to you when you first create an account. That will have your username on it. If you have already changed your password from the default one assigned, then it is lost. The link in the emails really is a one time use, and cannot be used again to log into your account to change the password. Please keep your passwords somewhere you can access them should you lose them! We currently have no way to retrieve them for you!

Log into your account, and go to the 'my account' section. Under 'edit', right under your username, there should be two fields for your password. To change it, simply type in your new password in both fields, and hit 'save'. Your password will be changed.

Guidelines for a good password include:

1. It should be 6-10 characters,
2. contains mixed case characters such as WmPoV,
3. contains symbols such as ! @ # $,
4. is a word that does NOT appear in the dictionary, and
5. Is something that is not associated with you, such as your pet's name, names of family members, your favorite band's name or anything else personal

For example:
little or brother are not good passwords.

RxTmWm12!! is a good password.

Not at the current time, no. We’re working on this and if this changes in the future, we’ll let you know!

The icon that will show in your comments is the one which you upload in the ‘edit profile’ page.

Simply go to their user info page and click the 'view my character gallery' link.

You will find on your user profile page two links 'Add a new character image' and 'View my character gallery'. To view the icons in your gallery, click on the second link.

At the moment, this is set to 50 icons per user. Each icon can be no bigger than 100 x 100 px.
