- This is a suggestion I received on the forums, and it seemed like a good idea, so I decided to add it.

The new rule is :

"From now on, fanart mods will upload your drawings only if there is at least ONE drawing of a Balto character in your gallery. If you don't have one, think about sending one... This is to make everyone remember that this is a Balto site, not a wolves or dogs site."

Please notice that it concerns official Balto characters. The characters you created are not considered Balto characters for this rule, even if they have the same style, and even you imagined them "in Balto's family".

One drawing in a whole gallery shouldn't be much for anyone, and it should help everyone to remember why they are here.
Of course, this will be applied when you send new drawings, it would be impossible to ask visitors who haven't send drawings for a long time to do this.
You'll notice a new option when you send your drawings, to "mark" if it's a Balto drawing or not.

Moreover, I've asked the fanart mods to go through every gallery and "mark" the Balto drawings.
The goal is to add filters on the fanarts display. The Balto drawings will be shown at the top, and I'll soon add an option which will give the possibility to see only the Balto drawings.

- There have been like 999 questions about this on the site, so I decided to finally do something. You can now send avatars directly on the site! Just click on the "No avatar" picture or the link "Add an avatar", in the profile page, to be able to send a picture from your hard drive directly to the site. It will be automatically resized to the right dimensions. But if you prefer using external URLs, it's still possible too!


- Talking about profiles, I've also corrected the numbers which are indicated, to reflect the true values. (for example, "number of drawings posted" or "number of fanfics posted") They used to mess up when a mod would delete or deactivate them.
