Limited Time Offers - 1newyears1 1valentines1 1valentines1     These smileys were limited time only in the shop. The new years one was part of the New Years 2010 pack, and the santa and valentine's day smileys were sold on their own, instead of in a pack. Once they are gone from the Featured tab, they go into the Classic tab, where they will be available exclusively through gems.

Contest Prizes -     These were only available to the winners of the 2011 Easter contest winners. The bunny was for the 1st and 2nd place winners, and the secret bird smiley was for only the 1st place winners.

Magic Coin Rewards -     These are only obtainable by collecting special, rare magic coins. The chances of getting a regular wizard from a magic coin are 2%. The chances of getting a fire wizard from a magic coin are <2%.   The grinch and witch smileys were considered to be seasonable but are still possible to obtain.   They are very rare.

Special Offers - 1fan1     This is now obtainable by sending Chris an email with a picture involving Everybody Edits.
    This is only obtainable by signing up for the e-newsletter. In the lobby there is a green box. You must enter a valid email address there, submit it, and click the link sent to that email.

Gem Only -     This is available in the shop for 500 gems, with no alternate energy payment option. This was created as a way to donate to Chris, though it was originally a joke.

Beta Only -     These will automatically be given to you upon buying beta. They are all part of the beta package.

Administrator Only -     This will only be given to In-game administrators. It will never be in the shops, and will never be given to any player besides the Admins.

Shop Offers - 1xd1 1xp1 (and many others)     These are currently available in the shops. The energy and gem prices vary.

Miscellaneous - <image removed>     This was only obtainable by touching a diamond in a level. You would be turned into this and remain that way until you changed your smiley. Upon changing your smiley, you would be unable to return to the fake big spender smiley until you touched a diamond again. This smiley is discontinued.
    This is the same as the fake big spender that's above, but this has     replaced it as the smiley that appears when you touch a diamond.

5.)     /giveedit username
    Gives edit rights to a specific player. Can be revoked using /removeedit

The quick, simple guide to setting forum signatures and avatars.

Step 1 - Navigating to the Personality Page

First, Scroll all the way up to the very top of the page. You will see a black navigation bar. Click Profile.

You will be taken to the Profile page, which is where all the settings from your Timezone to your Email to how many topics you see per page are located. On the left side of your screen, you will see a toolbar entitled Profile Menu.

Click the button on that menu that says Personality.

Now you are ready for Step 2. If you would like to set an avatar, go to Step 2a. If you would like to set a signature, go to Step 2b.

Step 2a - Setting an Avatar

Now that you are at the Personality page, find the box that says Set your avatar display options.

Under it, click Change Avatar You will come to a screen with a box that looks like this.

Click Upload, then find the *.BMP, *.DIP, *.JPG, *.JPEG, *.JPE, *.GIF, *.TIF, *.TIFF, or *.PNG file you want as your avatar. Click okay at the bottom right of the window and then click the Upload button.
Note: The file must be under 20KB and no larger than 90px by 90px.
Do you like your avatar? If so, then you can either go to Step 2b to set your Signature, or you can move on to Step 3. If you don't like your avatar, just repeat step 2a again and pick another picture, or click the Delete Avatar button to delete your current avatar.

Step 2b - Setting a Signature

Okay, So you're at the Personality page, right? Find the box that says Compose your signature.

Type in whatever you want in the box below it. Signatures support Smileys, Censoring (including EE Smileys with the 1something1 tags), Images, Links, Bold, Italics, Underlining, and Centering.
Note: Signatures must not exceed 4 lines of text, 400 characters, 64KB, or a total of 300px tall.

After you've typed in your signature, go ahead to Step 3.

Step 3 - Submitting and Proofing
All you have to do now is click Submit and check over the avatar and signature previews to make sure everything is to your liking. Make sure all your BBCode is correct and it's all neat and tidy, then you can move on to whatever you want to do next!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Troll [trohl] -   A player who, deliberately or not, edits a world in a manner that the world's owner doesn't like, such as changing minigames to make them impossible, making art that the owner doesn't want in the level, or even flying around, making long lines of blocks, completely demolishing a level.

EE Animator [ee ee an-uh-mey-ter] - An off-line program created and developed by Aslai to automatically make a file that, when executed by WPE PRO, edits a level to look like the one created by the program's user in the EE Animator window. This program has options to upload an image into the window, create many frames of animation for the level to automatically play through using WPE PRO, and many more. (See the official topic here.)

WPE PRO [duhb-uhl-yoo pee ee proh] - A program used to 'sniff' for packets of data sent and recieved to and from Flash objects, such as Everybody Edits. Newer versions allow modification of packets and the option to create a list of packets to send to the server at a pre-determined rate.

Exploit [ek-sploit] - To take advantage of a poorly tested minigame by finishing it faster or through an easier route that was unintended by the minigame's maker(s).

Sprite [sprahyt] - A small piece of art, often overused, that can be recognized on it's own. Sprites include smiley art, pokeballs, and other things. Due to the growing number of people who have downloaded EE Autobuilder, many sprites have become widely recognized and very overused.

Ragequit [reyj-kwit] - To quit a level after getting frustrated because of a difficult challenge. Less experienced players often ragequit more often than the older, more experienced, better players.

Ghost [gohst] - A [previous] glitch in the game that leaves a copy of a player in a level when the real person is randomly kicked from the level (another glitch). After being randomly kicked, a copy of the player is left in place of the real player, making it impossible for the randomly kicked player to enter the level again, due to the one of a person per level rule. To make this glitch worse, Ghosts can not be kicked from levels. Some people even have a Ghost of themselves in their own level, making it impossible to enter the world, save it, or edit it in any way. (See this topic for help on getting rid of a ghost.)

Re: The Ultimate FAQ

^^ Agreed. Ridiculously helpful. *stickied*

One thing: the "Unclickable Links" thing is amusing, but will probably confuse people who don't get the joke.

Second thing: You might want to clarify that this thread is not the place to ask any and all questions; we have Q&A and Forum Discussion for that.

A hub for all information that people would need to know, so they don't have to f*ck with the incredibly sensitive search bar (I kid you not, I've had issues with it over capitalization). They don't have to know the exact title name, they can come here an look for what they need.

Gratz on the sticky, fav'd, etc.
