Thread for questions that you want to ask, but which have already been answered

User CP and member related questions (signatures, avatars, options)

Q: I can't access the user CP. Database error always appears. What should I do?
A: Try it again some time later. This just usually means that the server has been broken and needs to be fixed.

A: http://www.animea.net/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile

Q: Why can't I upload animated avatars?
A: Your member rank is not high enough or you have to be a mod, see more about ranks in http://www.animea.net/forums/f10/announcements.html

Q: Why do others have larger avatars than me?
A: See the member ranks above

Q: Why did my name change its color or how do I change it?

A: No, you have to ask mods to do it

Anime and Downloads

Q: I found a corrupted file!
A: It has to be re-uploaded then

Q: What's the password for serie XXXX in link XXXX?
A: The files are uploaded by users, you have to PM them since they are the ones who know what it's

A: Mainly all subbed animes are in http://www.animea.net/series for alternative or special anime you can try the forum's DL section http://www.animea.net/forums/f11/

Q: What do I need to watch RMVB files?
A: RMVB files are Real Media Variable Bitrate files. They require RealPlayer or the Real codec to run. Codecs [Read!]

Q: Some episodes are missing!
A: If you ask nicely, someone might search the remaining episodes for you or you can leave a request in the forum after you have at least 25 posts

Q: Some episodes are offline!
A: They have to be re-uploaded meaning that either wait or do the same as above

Q: How do you do?
A: Bored

Q: Why did you write this?
A: I thought that it would be easier if we could direct the members to this thread instead of repeating old answers

Q: To whom I should give credits for this?
A: To whole community... well at least to the regulars who helped by answering to the most of these questions in other threads

What is AnimeA's official ruling on what is a "dead" thread? You would think that with AA being not as active as forums that a thread that's not been replied to in a couple months would still be considered active. I can see where it's been a 6 months to a year being dead. Heck, even that's pushing it because AA does get new members and it's easier to reply to these threads than creating duplicates and getting "yelled" at for doing it.

If AA does have an official stance, shouldn't it be posted in the FAQ?
