Here you can find all the useful information about Toonio. Please read this section (I've put so many jokes here!) before annoying people with stupid questions. If you couldn't find the answer, try to read it again. Or just contact me!
Jokes aside, no, this is not Toonator. It's just a project made by an enthusiast who didn't want Toonator to die due to lack of support from its creator.
It was this site that became a source of inspiration. Maybe you can even call Toonio the spiritual successor of Toonator. If there were no Toonator (and, paradoxically, the disappearance of the administrator), there would be no Toonio.
UPD: Toonator was shut down in January 2023. RIP.
Click on the "Register" button in the upper right corner of the site.
Because registered users have much more functions: you can publish your toons, vote for your favorite works, comment, continue other people's toons, save works in drafts and much more.
Check the Spam folder, the letter could have got in there. If you use GMail, the email could also get into the "All Mail" folder (not Inbox, namely All Mail!)
In the login window, click on the "Recover password" button and follow the instructions. You will receive an email about account recovery (even if you couldn't confirm your account before that!)
First, log in. Then you will have an ability to upload your toon to the site!
You can save your toon as a draft. No one will see it, and you can edit it at any time... Until you publish it.
The "Popular" section contains works with a good rating that are not in the "NSFW" section. The higher the rating, the higher the toon's position.
This is the work that received the highest rating for the day. The creator of this toon receives Pencils, and the toon receives a special award. There are also Toons of the Week and Month: everything is the same here, but they give more pencils and more beautiful medals!
The NSFW mark hides toons that may harm the delicate child's psyche. Or they may simply be dangerous: for example, for epileptics. If you are over 18 years old (and you have set your date of birth in Settings), you will get access to a special NSFW section, as well as the ability to publish your toons under the NSFW mark.
If you really want to draw something that contradicts the norms of morality, space-time and other things that can harm the psyche of immature minds (pornography, drugs, bloody scenes, other adult topics), tick the NSFW mark when saving. So the thumbnail of the cartoon and its name will be hidden by default.
It is not a very good toon. If you don't want your cartoon to get into the main section, you can move it to the "Scribble" section by clicking on the appropriate check mark when saving the work.
Also, moderators can mark your works as Scribbles. You can check the Rules to see what goes to Scribbles.
This is a section accessible only to the account owner. Here you can hide toons that seem to be not very good, but you don't want to delete them at all. When adding a cartoon to the archive, the work disappears from all sections of the site, but people who have a direct link to the toon can still see it.
It is simple: when continuing, a new cartoon with your changes is created, and when editing, the original one changes.
To delete a toon, click on the corresponding button on your toon page. Note that the works are not deleted immediately, but go to trash can, where they remain for 7 days before getting destroyed. We did this in case you change your mind or, for example, your restless brother deleted the work!
You can edit your toon only within 3 days after its publication. But this does not apply to drafts!
To do this, just click on the "Duplicate" button on the toon page. Already published works, alas, cannot be duplicated.
If you hover the cursor over some tool and hold it, a small description of the function will appear. If it has not become clearer, check the Manual.
Well, it's possible, but the editor was not designed for mobile devices.
For Chrome, there is a feature called "Request desktop site" available in Menu. Click on it, and the editor window will be much bigger, almost even usable!
Everything works, you just need to use it correctly. Due to some technical limitations, we cannot make the fill tool the way it works in graphic editors. Therefore, the tool with the bucket icon draws a figure filled with colour from the inside. So just try to draw some shape, for example a circle!
Select a colour on the palette and right-click on it. The same trick works if you use the colour picker tool!
Click anywhere on the canvas and then drag the cursor! The further you move, the more distortion is applied.
Please note that you can't undo this effect.
The only purpose of this tool is to move the upscaled canvas. If you haven't used the zoom tool, then the hand tool won't work either.
There is an icon with a note on the layers panel in the editor. Click on it to select an audio file. Or just drag the file into the editor window!
500 Pencils. You can re-upload the audio (when editing the toon) for free. For reaching some levels, you get free audio uploads.
Just open your profile and click on the default avatar. I have no clue why so many people find it so difficult!
You can swear, but keep in mind that if you teach a preschooler to swear like a lumberjack who hacked off a leg, you will be responsible for it!
Badges are one of the most valuable and rare awards. They are usually given for winning contests or for contributing to the history of Toonio. In general, a very rare thing!
Only Supporters can change the colour of their nickname. To become one, you need to buy from 300 Pencils for real money.
You can't change your username, but you can change your nickname. This can only be done by Supporters once a day. If you can't afford it, just create a new account!
Username is used to log in to the site, it is also displayed, for example, in the address bar. And a nickname is a name that is displayed instead of this username. Like on Twitter, for example!
The collection is your personal section where you can save your favorite user works. To do this, click on the white star on the toon page.
Click on the orange button with a star medal on the toon page. The award is a beautiful thing for the toon, which can reflect your reaction and make the author feel good (most of all, everyone likes The Great Mighty Poo!)
Pro Tip: When you give an award, the author of the toon receives half of its value. Some special awards give more Pencils.
There are several text formatting functions: **bold**, __italic__, ~~crossed~~.
You can also mention the user by entering an at sign and user's username without a space (for example, @tim). You can also attach a cartoon by entering a link to it. And some emojis turn into cute pictures when you send them!
Haven't you got it yet? Contact with Admin!
This is the local currency of Toonio. You can find out how to earn and spend them here.
Buy 300 or more Pencils. The Supporter status lasts one month after the last purchase.
First of all, the respect of the Toonio team for the financial support of the project
In addition, Supporters can change the color of their username in Settings. They can also set a nickname once a day.
There is a "Buy Pencils" button in your wallet. Click on it and you will see a miracle!
However, it's pretty much impossible to buy Pencils outside CIS right now.
Please contact the administrator (here) and wait. Usually all the issues get fixed within a day!
Level is an indicator of how active you are on the site and how cool you draw. The level increases with the likes and awards that other users put on your toons.
1 like equals 1 experience point.
1 award equals 2 experience points.
Storage is the place where your toons are located. The available space depends on your current level: the higher the level, the higher the storage size. If you run out of space, you can delete your older toons to free up space for newer ones.
Because the Toonio server is not made of rubber. If there was no limit, the server costs would be enormous. And I'm just a poor student...
You can buy a new level, although it's quite expensive.
For reaching levels, you get Pencils, free sound uploads, extra storage space, access to certain rewards and even disabling ads.
