Posting pics from phone in Figure Realm Comments and Questions by bjpalm1994   
Monday, March 5, 2018
   [Edit]
Hello Realmers, I have customs that I want to post but the pics are from my phone. How or where do I adjust them so that they don't get so big when enlarged? I know where to adjust pics if uploading from a computer but theres only so much you can do from your phone.
Thx in advance! ...[See More]

See if the phone will let you shoot at a smaller size.

Some image hosting sites let you resize the image, or give you links to display the image at smaller sizes. Flickr is one of them.

For example: ...

Hey Dr.Nightmare, Thx for the response! I actually looked at my phone and there was a setting for that. I changed it so hopefully that solves the issue. Thx again for the help!
Finding Transformers characters? in Figure Realm Comments and Questions by crawatt   
Saturday, August 19, 2017
   [Edit]
Hi, i've been coming to Figure Realm for years now to see and ID different figures, and only just now registered myself as a user. What an awesome site.

There's something I find a little weird that I want to ask about, though. When I go to Character profiles, why is it that I can't find any Transformers characters listed there? For example, I wanted to see all TF Sideswipe figures, but going to letter S the only Sideswipe I see is the G.I. Joe character by the same name.

Also, while I'm here: I can see that there is no section for Binaltech figures under Transformers. Why is this?

Thanks!...[See More]

I think maybe we just don't have any profiles for them. This seems to be the full list of Character Profiles we have, sorted by Universe http://www.figurerealm.com/characterpro ... n=universe

As you can see, there are tons of characters but only from a handful of Universes.

As a workaround, you can still find all figures of a character by searching the Checklists though. This would be all the Sideswipe figs we have listed http://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure ... =sideswipe ...
Site Fees in Figure Realm Comments and Questions by Deaditor   
Tuesday, July 25, 2017
   [Edit]
Hi guys Deaditor here. One thing I would love to do is pay a small amount to help keep this site goin and to get more features naturally, but as a student Doug a full time job to pay rent I really don't have much money as I receive very little finance. I was wondering if the creators of this site might consider an option of maybe £2 payment rather than £10 a month. I also believe this would encourage more people to donate to the site as we know it costs money to keep up etc. Just trying to help out a bit for one of my favourite sites as it's my sole site for posting my customs....[See More]

I couldn't message Captain Coder for some reason it says he doesn't exist

Sounds good to me. There could be a $2/mo package, and it comes with like 2 extra pics and submissions a day, and a Figure Inque write-up for one of your customs.

It has to be an amount that would make your contribution worthwhile though, because I'm sure there are fees Captain Coder has to pay, like Paypal. (.30 + 4%)

Of course, I don't make any important decisions around here, you guys would have to convince Captain Coder.

Yeah makes sense. Lols if I ever get a figure inque written I'd say go for my Thorin Royal armour or something lols. Hopefully he sees this or a message is passed on!
Replying to Responses to Comments? in Figure Realm Comments and Questions by MercMouth Customs   
Monday, July 31, 2017
   [Edit]
I've noticed that when I comment on a Realmer's figure I can reply to my own comment, but not to the response the Realmer gives. If I'm replying to my own comment, does the Realmer get a notification, or does the site treat it as a different comment entirely?

Seems a little confusing....[See More]

Yes, it's very confusing and unintuitive. I asked Captain Coder about it a while ago and he said something like it's like that to reduce the stress/workload on the server/site or whatever so it's not calling on a million responses at once when someone replies...or something. Obviously I'm not the tech guy lol.

I get the impression he manually codes everything, and possibly all the pages on the site are intertwined with his custom code, so it's probably a major project to ask him to "just add this simple feature here and there".

I'd definitely rather have a standard forum though. ...

Custom Post Limit Timeline in Figure Realm Comments and Questions by FigureHunterCustoms   
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
   [Edit]
Hey guys. I was wondering, if you submit a custom to a contest at 11:45pm cst and then the next day submit another to a contest at 6pm cst, would you be able to post a 3rd after 11:45pm that day. I ask this because of the 2 customs in a 24 hr period thing....[See More]

The 24 hour period is based off the submitted figure.

I don't know if it worked out for you, but if you submit your custom to the contest I'll approve it.

It did work out. I was just unsure if the 24 hr period started with the submitted figure or a set time every day. Now I know. Thanks for the response.

Thursday, February 2, 2017
   [Edit]
All you lovely peeps may have noticed a new option when submitting your customs to the Showcase. Now you can choose to request critiques of your work!

Hopefully this will encourage the sharing of insight and techniques that customizers are always looking for.

And you can of course choose not to receive critiques by setting the option to "No."...[See More]
Can u submit entries on your own contest? in Figure Realm Comments and Questions by Redmist   
Wednesday, January 25, 2017
   [Edit]
I love thinking up ideas for contests. I currently have 2 on the idea pitch page. I don't want to RUN the contest however. I usually either pop into this site at work or on my phone(at home) & I don't stay more than 10 mins at a time.
Contests motivate us to try things we might have already thought of. Aaand give us an excuse to never stop customizing! "But honey, I HAAAAAVE TO!"
Ok: My question: Can u submit entries on your own contest? Feels like there may be a conflict of interest?

Please advise....[See More]

Rules about links to other sites in Figure Realm Comments and Questions by MoonKnight1   
Friday, January 6, 2017
   [Edit]
What are the rules concerning links to other sites? I'm asking because I have created a couple of stories using G.I. Joe figures and they are posted on another site. Would love to share them here if allowed.

Thanks!

Thanks Dr. Nightmare! I have seen the Comics section here, it is awesome and right up my alley! I have already posted something there and will definitely do more. You Customizers are amazingly talented and I can't compete with that but I do like to write a good story and I have tons of action figures so I'm sure you will see some contributions from me!
