NEW! ATS Video Tutorials

We have three new video tutorials intended to help new members understand various aspects of this rather complex online community. More are on the way, but here's the first three, also available at help.abovetopsecret.com...



Getting Started




Avatars & Backgrounds




Submitting Alt. News




We're also working on tutorials for...
- Using the Member Tools
- All About Flagging and Starring
- Important Pages on ATS
- How to use the Media Portal
- The ATS Store
- "Reply-To" versus quoting
- Using alerts and complaints

If you have suggestions for a particular area or function on ATS that gave you difficulty as a new member, please feel free to post a tutorial suggestion here.

May I make a suggestion for the Media Portal tutorial?

Please state the maximum size for images uploaded, although it says the file size limit, that does not apply to large images, like most digital photos from modern cameras, they must be resized before uploading.

You can also say that the photos loose the EXIF data when uploaded.

Fantastic! This wil be infinitely helpful. I looked over the upcoming agenda, and found all the topics there as upcoming that I have questions about, so am looking forward to the tutorials.

Good deal.

Hi! I'd like to know if it's possible to upload music? Just 1 or 2 tunes to your profile so it doesn't overload the site!!!

Why is it that when I use the "brackets"atsimg"brackets" tag, the picture does not show up? Did the code change?

This is the only discussion board site that I know of that has tutorial videos - another reason why ATS is the best!

Thank you for the videos, wish they would have been available way back when I figured this out for myself...

looking forward to the:

- Using the Member Tools
- All About Flagging and Starring
- Important Pages on ATS

Good stuff!

This is from the old ATS formatting.

To add a vide use the [ yvid ] [ /yvid ] tags and copy the part after the '=' sign from YouTube. Remember to take the spaces out between the brackets and the yvid.
