- How do I contact you?
What for? If it's for a problem with the site, you can email the editors at editors@hulver.com. If it's hulver you're trying to get hold of, then hulver at hulver.com will reach me.
- What's an editor?
Editors are people who help out on the site. They edit stuff when there are mistakes, and they smack down delete any stuff that might be pissing people off. Editorial guidelines has a list of the rules they work to. As you can see, it's a fairly loose set of rules.

- I've just created an account, and I can't login
Try selecting the "Forgotten Password" next to the login box. That will mail you a url to visit. Visit that url and then you'll get a new password mailed to you. If that doesn't work then, humm. Dunno. Try mailing me, and I'll see what I can do.
- Can I really put images in Stories and comments?
Yes, you can. Images that you've uploaded can be inserted into comments and stories. When you post a comment or story, you'll see a drop down list with your files in it (This appears on the right hand side of the page below your hotlist box). Select a file and click the button and your image will be inserted. Any Images that are reported to me as being in-appropriate, mainly Porn, will have the comment deleted, or the story edited to remove them. (I can't edit comments, so they just get deleted). You might even end up with your account banned. Don't be a prick.
- Upload files? What happens to them?
Yes, assuming you've got the privileges, you can upload files to your own personal area using the files section in your user page. When you write a story, these are available in a drop down list for you to insert as images. There is a filter in place to stop files being accessed from other sites, so please don't try.
- I don't know how Auto-formatting for comments and stories works
There is a page here that explains how to use auto-format
- I don't want to use Auto-format. What HTML can I use in my comments and stories?
This page explains what HTML tags are allowed.
- Do you delete Diaries and Comments?
Yes, I can, and I will. Basically if you're being really personally offensive to somebody, or revealing information about somebody like real name, phone number or address etc that they don't want made known then I will delete it.
Also, if you're just being stupid and pissing off lots of people on the site then stuff you're doing might get deleted and your account might get anonymised.
Don't be a complete immature idiot, and nothing will happen to you.
By the way, I won't go around deleting stuff you've posted just because I happen to disagree with you. I respect your views, even if they are stupid :)
- Do you have an rdf feed?
Yes, there are several, see the Syndication page for more details
- What should I rate somebody?
Comment ratings are often a source of contention. Many people take a low comment rating as a slight against them and their whole family. Some people dole out high comment ratings just because you were nice enough to comment in their diary.
Comment ratings are a bit of a joke, but they do serve a purpose. If you get rated high enough, often enough, then you get to be a trusted user. That gives you the ability to see hidden comments, and to zero comments yourself.
My advice to you is, If you feel like giving somebody a 4, to say something nice, then do so. If you want to give somebody a 1, either because you don't like them, or you didn't like what they said, then do that as well.
Don't moan about comment ratings. They are little numbers, recorded against a bit of text. They do not rate your worth as a human, or your performance in the sack.
The only comment you should take seriously ares zeros. If you give somebody a zero, you are making a statement that a particular comment is so bad nobody else should see it. That's a hell of a thing to say.
If you've been given a zero by lots of people, perhaps you should have a think about what you said. Don't. I repeat, DO NOT, post a diary moaning about it.
What sort of scale should you use?
- Hide this comment. It's spam, or really offensive and nobody should see it
- This comment isn't very good.
- Not used.
- Not used.
- This comment is OK, or very good, or I've just read it. Whatever, it's not a 1.
- What topics are there?
You should look at the Topics Page for a list of topics.
- How much does HuSi cost to run?
Look for yourself, the accounts are kept online. You can check them at the Accounts page.
- That much? Can I give you some money then?
Of course you can. You can send me some money with PayPal.
You could buy me some goodies from my Amazon WishListYou could support the site by buying your stuff from Amazon as well
- Why does the layout suck so much?
Well. The formatting uses style sheets, so there you go. If you're using an older browser, like say, Netscape 4.something then you are out of luck, sorry. Try something like a newer Netscape. Mozilla or Opera. It looks ok in those.
You could try changing the theme as well. Go to your user page, and then to Display Preferences. There is a drop down box asking you "Use Which Theme". You could try some of those out. If there are enough themes, I might put up a separate page for them later.
- Where does hulver come from?
Do you mean the person, or the nick name?
