Hello, I just have a few unimportant questions nagging on my mind.
No.1) Why is this website called DakkaDakkaDakka?
No.2) Can you get smilies? Like :-) except a smiley face not punctuation
No.3) What do Polls do?
No.4) What is 'You Make Da Call'?
No.5) How do you inset a picture? I tried and failed numerous times :-(

Any answers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

1) It's not called "dakkadakkadakka" - just the two "dakka" (dakkadakka). Because it is, because it's the noise a gun makes (duh) and it's a cool sound.
2. Yes. They are called Orkmoticons here and are orky-looking. Like this:
3. It's an open vote (you can only vote once per poll generally).
3 (again). Rules forum. It's kinda a communal rules place.
4. Upload to dakka galleries (if a gaming picture).
Otherwise, upload to a photohost (flickr, photobucket, etc) and copy the [ img ] tagged links.

thanks

1) It's the sound Orks describe a gun as making. When they say they need more firepower, they say "More Dakka!"

2) When you post, click one of the Orkmoticons to the left of the box to insert it. (Click More smilies to see the larger range)

3) It's a vote.

4) YMDC is where rules questions go. There's basically 2 types of threads, the ones that have a definite answer and are really brief, and the ones where the rules are vague and can last for pages and pages of arguing. Brace yourself before going into the second type.

5) To use the img tages, use the following (without the space before img) [ img]URL of picture you want[/ img]
