Welcome to the forums Shadowjk!

With those credentials and interests you could get both the cuvetted GFX Team and Developer badges in time (it's hard enough to get one let alone both, although thats mainly because most people on this forum are neither arty or codey ).

I'll give you the full run down for new members:

I thought you might like to know how to mark threads as solved as well as the uses of some of the other buttons.

To the top right of this post you will see 3 icons. An orange (+), a set of scales and a red and white warning triangle.

The orange (+) or blue (-) denotes whether a user is on or offline (orange = on, blue = off).

The scales are used to give rep points; click this button if someone has helped you significantly or solved your queries (only give this to posts that you think really deserve it).

The red and white warning triangle is used to denote either an abusive post OR to mark a thread as solved (just put solved in the box that comes up and the admins or moderators will mark it solved)



You ca check out how to get various badges and titles etc. at http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/118651-forum-rules.html#post785005.

If you have any questions about the forum don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks and you're welcome.

I think the best time to go for the Dev and GFX badges would be after you get the skilled or power user badges, once you get these people start taking you seriously.

You get the GFX badge by making signatures for people and if you're feeling ambitious making and publishing custom Windows themes (usually to Deviant Art).

If you make a cool signature for yourself and then put below something like "If you like this sig and would like one like it PM me and I'll be more than happy to oblige" and then after a while just PM a GFX Team Member and ask them about getting the badge (be prepared to show your work etc.).


To get the developer badge this can be a little tricky because you (usually) have to make a simple application to solve someones problems, a good example of this is http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/274599-how-exec-dat-boot.html

If someone notices your doing all this work without a badge they'll PM an Admin and hopefully they'll give you the badge (I got Niemiro the badge if you were wondering).

But I'm getting ahead of myself here...

Far as I know, a GFX badge is a sevenforums exclusive badge.

Welcome to the forum, you'll be surprised how fast you get badges when you just keep helping people instead of being concerned with how many badges you have under your name.

There are lots of very friendly and helpful people here and it's always nice to have new faces join us, enjoy your time with us and don't forget it's not all work we have fun as well.
