The online bar is the scrolling bar located at the top of every page on fubar. It features fubar members who are online at the moment. If you upload a primary photo, you will show up there!
What is the mobile address option in my profile?
Having a mobile address allows you to send photos from your mobile phone directly to your profile, without a normal computer/internet browser. The photos will immediately appear on your profile, and your friends will receive an alert that you have updated your photos.
Once you have configured a mobile address, simply send the photo to mobile@fubar.com from your phone! The photo will be available on your profile immediately! If you are having trouble configuring your phone, some phones and phone services are NOT compatible with our system.
If you have pics on your mobile that are NSFW (more details on Not Safe For Work content), you can now send them to mobile-nsfw@fubar.com -- which will flag them as nsfw automagically and keep you out of trouble.
In the near future, you will also be able to configure certain alerts to arrive on your mobile phone.

What is the difference between a Friend and a Fan?
A Friend must accept your request to become a Friend. A Fan can become a Fan of anyone on the site. fubar has celebrity guests and athletes and they can get overwhelmed with Friend requests so it is easier sometimes just to become a Fan.

What size can my pictures be?
The maximum image size is 1MB. Valid image types are: JPG, PNG, & GIF.
I’m trying to upload an image, and I am getting an error message--what is wrong?

Click on the link on the right hand side called “make primary.” DO NOT set any non flagged NSFW photos as your default or your account will be terminated.
What does it mean to “rip” a photo?
fubar allows members to "rip" content from one another. It is always best to ask a member before you take a photo, skin or one of their trackz. Each "ripped" item will show the path of its originator. fubar will NOT get involved in “ripped” photo disputes. If you do not wish to have your photos “ripped,” do not upload them to your gallery.

A photo is deemed NSFW if it is:
Explicitly sexual in nature (suggestive) and includes real photos, cartoon drawings, and all styles of animations
Overtly tasteless
Slandering to any person or ethnicity
In addition to the above criteria, if a photo is a primary photo, it will be flagged as NSFW if it also contains a suggestive body part without the member’s face in the photo. If you have a borderline photo that is not considered NSFW and it was marked as such, there’s a chance someone who has ripped that photo is using it as a Primary Photo. Remember: The Bouncers will be MORE STRICT with those used as Primary Photos.
Accounts will be terminated for abusing the adult content policy. This includes your Home page, Bulletins, Comments, MUMMs, Stash, Blasts, Cherry Spotlight, and Blogs.

Photoshopped or any “type” print will NOT be accepted.
Grainy and barely legible salutes will NOT be accepted.
Salutes placed in a PRIVATE album will NOT be accepted.
How do I submit a Salute?
Upload your salute to your main gallery. Click on the “tag a photo in this album as a salute!” link at the top of your gallery page under the “Current Album” header. Next, click on the red “salute” link next to the photo(s) you would like verified. Confirm the photo(s) that you want to be verified and wait. Once your salute(s) is verified by our staff, it will appear at the top of your gallery page.
All Salutes are approved by the fubar Bouncers. Using fake or bogus photos will result in your account being removed. NSFW, privately marked, or exposed photos are NOT acceptable. We will reject any salute that looks suspect or is questionable. Please do not take this personally.
What do I do if my Salute is rejected?
If your Salute is rejected, please simply submit a new salute following the above guidelines. If you see a salute that looks FAKE, please report to a bouncer (orange highlighted name) or fubar Support. We will audit any salute that is deemed FAKE and take appropriate action immediately. We are a community regulated site and appreciate your feedback.
What do I do if my verified Salute is deleted?
If your salute is deleted you will be asked to re-submit a new salute. If you submit multiple FAKE salutes, your account will be removed. Please do not take it personally if your salute was rejected or deleted, our goal is to ensure that verified members are legitimate people.

What are Packs?
Packs are groups of members on the site associated by their verified email address. For example, people who verify an official US Marine Corps. email address (ie: mhedlund@usmc.mil) are added to the US Marine Corps. pack. Students at Virginia Tech who verify their school email address (ie: mhedlund@vt.edu) are added to the Virginia Tech pack.
Members of a pack have their Pack Icon displayed on their tooltip (the little box of data that pops up when you mouse over someones photo), CT home page, and on their profile. Pack members also receive extra functionality to browse, communicate, notify, and keep in contact with all other members of their pack.
Because this feature has just started, Packs are currently limited to US Military branches and worldwide educational institutions only. If you've verified your email address, meet the above criteria, and don't find yourself associated with a Pack (there will be an icon for your Pack on your homepage), please email support@fubar.com and submit your request for a new Pack.
Note: the more members you have ready to join your pack when you submit it, the quicker we'll add it. :-)
