Are you a guest curious about our forum?

You should read everything in the Information Forum.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask us in the CBox or ask in the FAQ thread.

Note: Pudding Cake is a fun community with a large focus on the word community. This means that Pudding is a place for you to meet a bunch of great people and talk about things that you love. We do have a ton of member exchange programs such as av/sig requests or getting help for whatever project you may be working on, but please understand we may be a little weary of people who join just to request things for themselves.

We are not a request & leave forum. We want to make friends, we want to work on our writing, art, music, and cooking skills, and we want to get to know you.

Are you a guest advertising wondering why your ads cannot be posted?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE I beg and beg and beg of you to read the instructions in the Ads&Affiliates forum before you attempt to post an ad! Why? Because your ad will look silly with broken codes if you do not! We've taken in suggestions from all of those guests who are having problems, but there's not much we can do if you don't READ the rules:
1) You MUST input a name before your ad can go through.
2) We are an IPBfree board NOT an invisionfree board. This means that [align=center] tags do not work and you MUST use [center] tags!
3) Use the POST PREVIEW button. That is what is there for. If it gives you an error, then obviously something is wrong with your ad.
4) If it asks you to login, try again. Sometimes the second time is the charm!
5) And then if that doesn't work, you should proceed to tell us in the CBox. But if you haven't followed these four simple steps, then we can't help you.

Are you an artist and want to show off your work?

Then Pudding might be the place for you! Our art forums are getting a bit neglected. We're looking for some new people to bring some new work for us to admire. Here at Pudding you can battle with others without feeling any pressure. You can also challenge others so you can improve as an artist as well. We won't "sort" you into any categories. No matter if you are a beginner or an advanced artist, we welcome you! ANY kind of work is accepted (graphics, website design, fine arts, etc etc) Of course we also review, and we can also try and answer any art type questions. So please consider joining Pudding if you're an artist!

Discussions

There are so many great discussions going on all over the board, from silly discussions to serious discussions. There are so many great topics to choose from, and always, always, if you guys have something to say, don't be afraid to post it!

And also, if you feel like a post greatly contributes to the topic or you just love what the person says, don't be afraid to click the + button next to their reputation points and give them a thumbs up!

Reviews

Some great reviews going up lately, with some inspiring threads. Remember that even though we are in a new home our drive is the same - to provide feedback and to show off your projects!

But like always, if you feel like a review is not constructive, feel free to report it, either by using a report button, by PMing one of the admins, or by giving negative reputation points.

Posting Work on Pudding

Just a head's up to members, let's fill up our forums with lots of our own work! It doesn't even matter if it's perfect/finished. We'd love to take a look anyways. Please don't feel intimidated at all! We will never harshly criticize you. This is especially in the art forums. We don't want to pressure you into "climbing ranks" or anything of the sort, so don't be shy!

Having any problems posting work? Please contact an admin and we'd love to hear from you!
