You often see someone with a status message about helping them out to the next level. I see it daily. When going to their page, I can understand why they are having a tough time getting that last "only need 5k to level". They have about 10 or maybe 20 pics and stash (if they have any stash at all).
This posting and section is meant to help that. I want to start at the beginning basics and work from there. One thing to always know is what your picture limit is for the level you are at. You also should also rate others to your daily limits as well. Know that your picture rating limit might be reached, but you can still rate blogs and stash items. You can also comment on profiles and on individual pictures. Everything gains you as a rater and ratee (is that a word?) points on here and those point values double during a Happy Hour. More on Happy Hour tips later. The highest point values for pictures will be on pics that are not RIPPED or not marked NSFW, its ok to have those, just have a separate folder titled as such for easy identification. I also would not suggest having so many of those, you do have a limit of how many pics you can have total. If you have never looked over the Fubar Bible, I suggest you get to know its location and use the wealth of info found there. http://fubar.com/bible.php
Ok, onto the Happy Hour. You can know when the next one is by just looking up in the upper left corner of the Fubar page. You will either see the word "Sponsor" in yellow with a pic of a person and a neon beer mug sign when a Happy Hour is going on or you will see in white letters "Book a Happy Hour!" when its not. If you click either of those or the icon with the "Who's next?" floating by across the top pic scroller, you can know when the next Happy Hour is and bring down the points to go for next level. Keep in mind, all points are double during these times and gifts are half off. Plan on making the most of the rates you have.
Last part I want to go over in this entry is the Auto-11 blings you see around. Its hard to not notice people with them these days. If you are searching for someone with an active Auto-11, ask anyone from the Rating Revolution crew, we have a daily updated list of those that we know with one going on. You need not be a crew member to go rate them, its just as good for the rater as it is for the one with the Auto-11. I know several people that use all their daily rate limits on just Auto-11 people.
There are several websites with easy to gather pics for your page. I have a few to suggest, but they are by no means the only ones.

I know this must sound so basic, to most of you, but there are those newer members out there that are still trying to figure it all out. Spending a few minutes giving them some bit of advice will only gain you friends that will always return to your page to rerate or show some love. Oh, I didnt mention the fact you can rerate your friends! Its about every week (give or take a day or so) that Fubar resets your ability to rate a friend. I highly recommend that you all do that from time to time.
Thats all for now... Happy leveling!
