Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

A lot of you have been posting screenshots and other images to help illustrate issues and questions, which is obviously great. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words.

Unfortunately, some of them have been taking up about a thousand kilobytes each, too... :)

Now that's currently no big deal, and as it is I'm barely limiting the capacity for uploading material to the board. After all, what we want to build is the best resource for Fusion out there, so...

Hey everyone,

Since this forum is all about sharing and collective learning, I thought it would be nice if we could offer a small reward (however symbolic it may be) to those who are especially generous with help, tips, tricks and tools, and who inspire others to make great art.

So from this day forward, you can thank people for the posts they make! :)

To do this there is a little button on the top right of every qualifying post (not this one):

And when you press...

Greetings ye that suck less! I bring good tidings!

As you all (should) know, We Suck Less has been hosting a mirror of the venerable, but sadly abandoned VFXPedia .

It's still the same great Fusion resource as it ever was, where you can find tools, tips, tricks and know-how. However, since the mirror does not contain the actual, original database, you have to keep digging and clicking link after link to find something. Pretty cumbersome at best. Pretty hopeless at worst.

Until now.

Hey everyone,

Don't worry. I'm not about to serve ads on WSL...

Lately I've been receiving a couple of emails, from different people, asking me in some form or other:

Hi,

Can I post my tools for sale on your forum? What should I do to comply with the community rules?

Do you charge for advertising on We Suck Less?

I thought I'd share some of my thoughts on this...

As a lot of you already know, I am always happy to help support worthwhile third party efforts for Fusion, whether they...

I've been asked a few times recently how to do a search on WSL. Here's a quick primer.

Throughout the forum there are search boxes to be found. Your first port of call would probably be the one on the index page itself:

Just put in a couple of keywords and press Enter. Boom - you've performed a search :)

It doesn't stop there, though. When browsing forums, you will find another Search box a little further down. It works the same way, but performs a search in that specific forum only:...

Oooooh yes finally here! An oft requested feature, and one that I've been rooting for myself for quite a while - marking posts as best answers!

Let's dive right in and see how this works with an example topic:

In this exemplary topic, a question is asked by - first of all - using a meaningful title. Then in the opening post we can find the question itself, together with a quick explanation of why the question is being asked. All of this in a very friendly tone. Many bonus...

Hello everyone! :cheer:

Hi all,

A couple of posting guidelines for this forum, and how to best make use of all its features...

Before posting a new topic, please search for similar ones. Certain topics come back all the time, and further down the line it would be great if similar ideas are consolidated in single threads. The admins read most (if not all) of the topics here and will merge where appropriate, but bonus points for doing it yourself. ;)

Be descriptive in your topic titles! There are good reasons for...
