How do I change my email address or password?

How do I change my display name or my age?

You can change your display name and age under Account Settings->User Settings.

How do I change my avatar (or display picture)?

To change your avatar, first click on a scribble that someone has left you, or one that you have drawn on someone else's page. You can then click on the link "Set this scribble as my avatar".

How do I make someone a friend?

Go to their profile page. In the box below their details, there is another box showing which actions can be performed with this user. One of those is "Add to friends". If you click on this button, a friendship request will be sent to that user. Once that user has accepted this request, they will be listed as your friend.

How do I accept a friendship request?

Go to your home page (by clicking 'Home', the link at the top of the page). There should be a large red message telling you that you have friend requests waiting. Click that link, and then click the "accept" link below their avatar.

How do I send a message to someone?

Go to their profile page. In the box below their details, there is another box showing which actions can be performed with this user. One of those is "Send Message".

How do I check messages that people have sent to me?

Go to your profile, and click "Inbox".

How do ratings work?

Ratings are based on several factors. These factors include: how many people have rated your scribbles up, how many competitions you have won, how long you have been a Scribbla, and how many scribbles you have done. Ratings are updated once every 10 minutes, so changes are not always immediately visible.

How can I delete my profile?

To delete your profile, please send an email to cancel@Scribbla.com from the email account that you signed up with. Your account will be deleted as soon as we have verified that the email address matches your profile.

What's the purpose of groups?

Groups are communities of scribbla's who scribble things of common interest. Everything that you scribble on a group page is sent to all of the group's members' pages, and the comments for that scribble are shared amongst the group. This provides an easy way for friends to scribble things that are relevant to their friends, and for everyone to see those. Some groups are also formed because a group of people are particularly good at scribbling certain things, or just like seeing the works produced by talented scribbla's.

How do I join a group?

Go to that group's profile page, and click the "Apply to join" link.

How do I leave a group?

Go to your home page, and click "Groups". The groups that you are a member of (or are applying to join) will appear there. Click the "Leave group" link under the relevant group.

How do I create a group?

Go to your home page, and click "Groups". Then click "Create a new group!".

What's the purpose of competitions?

Competitions can help you to network with other scribbla's, and can help to expand your group of scribble-friends. The rating of winners gets increased considerably, and their "Trophy Count" increases. The winners also get featured on the front page until the next competition is run.

How do I enter a competition?

The currently-running competitions are listed on the Scribbla login page. You can also access a list of all current and past competitions by clicking "Competitions" on the top bar.
