Discussions
Topic: FAQ
Here you will find answers to all your questions.
1. How to increase your rating?
There are two ways to increase your rating on the site: - Payment using Robokassa (+30, 60 or 90 rating);
— Participation in competitions. Also, the rating will increase by 30 units if your topic is included in the TOP of author's topics. There are no other ways to increase your rating.
You can increase your rating using Robokassa in the corresponding section in the upper right corner of the site:
There you can choose the appropriate amount of rating and pay in the most convenient way for you. The cost of one rating unit is 1 ruble. That is, for 30 rubles you can get 30 ratings.
2. How to create your own theme? Why isn't a topic being created?
Each new topic requires another 10 ratings. 1 topic = 10 ratings, 2 topics = 20 ratings, etc. increasingly. EXAMPLE: You purchased 20 ratings, which means that at the top right there should be an item “You can create topics: 2”. Click on it, then “Create topic”. You create one topic, after which you will have the opportunity to create another one, and when you create the second one, then with your 20 rating you will not be able to create other topics, so you will need to increase your rating by another 10.
3. Can I delete/change my theme?
Only site administrators and moderators can delete topics. To have your topic deleted, write a comment under it with a request, having first submitted the topic for moderation (otherwise the topic will be visible only to you and we will not be able to delete it). Themes cannot be changed. At all. No way.
4. Is it possible to change the nickname (login) on the site?
No.
5. How can I change my profile picture?
There is an option to change the image in the “My Settings” section in the upper right corner of the site.
6. The antivirus says that it is a virus and VKontakte blocks links. Why?
Since our program modifies the site style file on the client side, this is considered an intrusion, so the antivirus considers it evil. VKontakte blocks links because it does not like it when software other than browsers is used in relation to the site.
7. Why is the theme not applied?
If the extension is installed, then do the following: 1) Disable all extensions/add-ons in your browser EXCEPT Get-Styles; 2) Disable your antivirus; 3) Go to our website and apply the theme, and then refresh the VK page. If after this everything is OK, then it means there was some kind of conflict with other software. Now gradually enable extensions/add-ons and change the theme each time until you find out the reason. If it still doesn’t work, then reinstall the browser from scratch (uninstall everything associated with it and install the latest version), and reinstall the program. Just in case, check the link you use to access the topic page to see if there is a #download at the end; if there is, delete it and follow this link again. For more information on how to install the theme on browsers, see the video in the topic at the link: https://get-styles.ru/details/show/217434
