New New Member Information

Info For New Members

Hello, welcome to the free rider hd forums! There are lots of things on the forums that you can do. Just because you clicked on this thread I’m assuming that you are new to the forums and have some questions that you didn’t get replied to by someone when you asked a question. This thread was made to help new players figure out their ways around the forums. If there is a question that I didn’t/don’t go over just let me know.



Ranks (OA)
Free rider also has another type of reward system. I’m sure you’ve heard of the rank OA (official author) and maybe some other ranks along the way. Currently as of 2021 it is very hard to earn OA because of the fact that most admins are taking a break or just left the forums. I would not encourage spamming admins for OA because it’s just a waste of time for the admins and it will most likely get you nowhere. OA can ONLY be given out by admins. The only admins you could possibly ask for OA are Totoca12 Eryp and Max007x. If you are even going to ask him about OA, list two of your favorite or best tracks that you’ve made. Elite author is given out to amazing track creators for having normally 3 or more featured tracks (collaborations included). Vip is given out for.. well.. very important people in the free rider hd community and I doubt it will be given out ever again. Member of the year is given out to one person every year by a vote by the majority of the free rider hd community.

OA: Q and A
Q: How do people without any featured tracks get OA
A: You don’t need a featured track to get OA, you just have to be a good track creator



Titles
If you’ve been on the forums for a few seconds you might have seen other players with titles like well-known member, active member etc. If you are reading this then you must want to know how to earn/get these titles and I’m going to tell you just that. If you want to earn one of these titles, you simply just have to be active. You will earn these titles the more messages you post on the forums, and no you do not get “points” for posting on your own profile and it is not encouraged to spam.



How To Start A Thread
If you are wondering how to start your very own thread just follow the steps of the images below:







(Sorry for weirdly sized images)


How to start a conversation
If you are wondering how to start a thread, this sections for you. Starting a conversation is quite simple. All you have to do is click on inbox then click start a new conversation. After that, all you have to do is type in the name of whoever you want to message.


How to start a contest
This is one of my frequently asked questions. If you want to start your own contest follow the same steps as the create a thread section, but instead of creating a thread in any section, you have to click on: https://community.freeriderhd.com/forums/community-challenges-and-contests.17/ then follow the same steps as you did for creating a thread.

Featured tracks
If you want to gain a featured track and you’re an amazing track creator, all you need to do is find an admin that could be willing to do it. Then send them the link of your track and ask for it to get featured. Keep in mind that only some of the best tracks get featured, so show your best work.
Criteria
Detail: if you want a track to get featured, add lots of detail. The more your track is detailed the higher the chance of it getting featured.
Length: another thing to keep in mind is the length of your track. A track that is around 30 seconds, do you really think it will get featured?

Deleting tracks
Most people ask me how they can delete their tracks. Well, sadly you aren’t able to delete your own tracks, only admins have the power to delete tracks. If you already have the max amount of tracks, you would be better off making another account.

Terms of service
When posting on the forums, please make sure you follow the terms of service and be polite to other players: https://community.freeriderhd.com/help/terms


How to edit your profile picture
The Free rider HD forums has many customizable feature. One of them is your profile picture. If you want to edit your profile picture double tap your username in the top right on your screen.

Name changes
On free rider hd you are given the option to change your name once (inside the actual game). But, if you’ve already changed it and you want to change your name for the 2nd time. Well... you can’t. If you’ve already changed your name 1 time already the you have to ask a mod, and char specifically said that
“Name changes are reserved for people who's real name is exposed”

Downloading images (Mobile)
I’m adding this into this thread because I’ve had a lot of problems figuring out how to download images myself. Find the image you want to download (photo library or website).

Photo library: First you want to import your image to your notes pad
then, hold down on your selected image and press copy, now you can copy paste your selected image anywhere you want.

Website image: For this example, I’m using the cool text website. Once again, find the image you want to download. Your website should have a download button, click it. Then, don’t click view, click download again. Then, click the top icon in the right, and click copy. If your website doesn’t have a download button, just hold down on the image and click copy.

LMFAO

 

You could add a link to the forum rules too. Nice job on putting this together, really nice.

 

If I find more information can you add it to this thread?

 

Added

 

When are you able to change the 'Well-Known Member' title? For example, RJ has it changed to 'Guide'.

 

That's because I used to be a guide

 

He has the guide title because when he had the guide rank he named himself guide. But then an admin removed guide but it never removed that title

 

Can I make a video about this thread?

 

Promoting

 

I will post the video on here

 

The video isn't perfect but it might help

 

Idk where it went

 

Yeah I guess when you post a youtube link the video pops up
Also do you like the ending when I give you credit for the work

 

Unadvertised How do you get Elite Author and what does it do?

 

Read the Ranks section

 

When you get Elite Author what advantages do you also get

 

Nothing much. It just lets you change your title. It’s mostly just an accomplishment

 

Bragging rights
