Frequently Asked Questions
Have a nagging question that you can't figure out? Check the FAQ first.
It's a repository of common problems/questions that enthusiasts are
having. If you have a question that isn't answered here, we want to
know. Email us at founders@activityenthusiasts.com.
1. Ok...I have a great idea for an activity that's
been fully brainstormed in the forums, how do I make it happen?
2. How can I insert graphics and stuff in my postings?
3. How can I get a user icon?
**************************************************
1. If you're willing to take on the responsibility
for this activity get it into the scheduled activities forum to alert
people that it's happening. Send an email to schedule@activityenthusiasts.com
that includes:
- a synopsis of the event
- any preparation for the event that is needed (i.e. write an essay
to be delivered) or requirements for attending (i.e. entrance fee or
ticket purchase)
- the date
- the time
- the location
- directions to the location
- instruction for RSVP'ing (in the forum? via email?)
After you send the email, it will be posted in the scheduled activities
forum. We also can promote it via the mailing list and the top page.

2. The forum FAQ shows you how to add special formatting, emoticons, graphics, etc. to your postings. Take note that currently the only way to display an image is to link to it. This means you can't just "attach" an image to your posting as if it were an email. You have to reference an image that exists somewhere on the web. If the location of your image changes then the link will no longer work.
3. Unfortunately you can't do this all by yourself at the moment. But the administrators will happily post an icon of your choosing. The maximum dimensions are 80 x 40 pixels. You must also include a tagline of no more than 25 characters, or else one will be made up for you.
