1. I like a particular ToonDoo a lot. What can I do?

Simple! Cheer it, mark it as your favorite or better still, embed it on your blog, website or forum!

2. I dislike a particular ToonDoo. What do I do?

Ignore it, if you can. However, if you find it offensive, please flag it as inappropriate.

3. How do I get my ToonDoo featured in the Editor's Pick?

If your toon catches the attention of the Editors, they might feature it as an 'Editor's Pick'. So just do your creative best. Most importantly, enjoy the creative process and have fun toondooing!

4. I don't like a particular comment on my ToonDoo. How can I delete it?

ToonDoo now has comment moderation! 

This feature aims at helping you deal with spam and offensive comments. Every time a fellow Dooer comments on your toon, you will be presented with the following options via email:

-Accept this comment only
-Accept this comment and all future comments from this Dooer
-Reject this comment only
-Reject this comment and all future comments from this Dooer

Note however, that while bringing comment moderation into effect, we have kept in mind previous commenting relationships between ToonDooers. So, comments will automatically be published for all those ToonDooers who have previously commented on your toons and vice-versa. In case such a previous commenting relationship exists, the comment will be published and you will only be presented with the latter two Reject options.

5. I want to hide a ToonDoo that I published by mistake. Can I do something about it?

Of course, you can hide it:
-Log in to ToonDoo.com.
-Click on My ToonDoos tab.
-Toons with green dots above them indicate that they have been publicly published
-Toons with red dots above them indicate that they have been privately published
-To change a public toon into private, just click the edit button above it 
-Once the dialogue popup opens, select the 'Keep it Private' option
-Click on Save

6. Can I share a ToonDoo with a special group of friends?

Of course! When you create a ToonDoo are about to Save it:
-Under Options, select the Share with friends radio button.
-Enter your friends’ e-mail IDs separated by commas.
-Click on Publish.

Alternatively, if you’ve already published a ToonDoo:
-Log in to ToonDoo.com.
-Click on My ToonDoos tab.
-Click on the Edit tab of the ToonDoo that appears on hover.
-Select the Share with friends radio button.
-Enter your friends’ e-mail IDs separated by commas.
-Click on Save.

7. Can I print out my ToonDoo?

To print a toon, simply click on the print icon below it!

8. I'd like to print out a ToonDoo on my T-Shirt. Can I?

If you can get a high-res printout, please go ahead! However, do remember to keep the brand intact on the ToonDoo.

9. Can I send a private message to a fellow Dooer?

Yes! To send a private message, all you have to do is visit the Dooer's profile and use the private message feature provided there. Your message will be delivered to the Dooer's mailbox (providing he / she has registered with a valid email address!)

10. How do I find my favorite prop or character? Do I have to browse page-by-page?

You can add your favorite props, characters or backgrounds to your 'favorites gallery' in the creator (Look for the heart and + sign just next to where the gallery objects load)

You can also use the search box in the top right corner of the creator to search for objects by keyword or tag.

11. Can I create a with more than 3 panels?

You can create a toon using any one of the seven panel layout options that appear when the creator loads. 

Alternatively, you can use the line dividers in the 'Shapes' prop gallery to divide the single panel toon into multiple smaller panels.

If you'd like to create an even longer toon sequence, use the toonbook feature! Click here to learn how.

12. It's been quite some time since I hit the Publish button, but the view page still shows me the "Hold on,.getting dressed up" message. Why?

 

When this happens for long, it could mean that your toon is in queue. It is waiting to be published by the ToonDoo robot.
Rest assured, your ToonDoo’s not lost, only delayed!

13. The screen's gone hazy, but I still haven't gotten the confirmation message that my toon has been published. Why?

Whenever this happens, do not close the creator window. Your toon will be published in some time as soon as it catches up with the publishing robot. Till then, please wait for the confirmation popup. We can't and wont lose any of your toons!

14. I've got the confirmation message that my toon has been published, but I still can't find it under the 'Latest' page or under 'My Toondoos'?

Your toon is probably be caught up in a queue and would appear under both, the 'Latest' page as well as your 'My Toondoos' section soon. If that still doesn't happen, drop us an email at toondude@toondoo.com or toondudette@toondoo.com and we'll dig it out for you!

15. How are Featured Dooers selected?

While there are no hard and fast rules, we do have a soft spot for frequent Dooers who are consistent in creating ToonDoos of high quality and creativity.

16. How does a ToonDoo become "Popular"?

A “Popular” ToonDoo is determined by the number of cheers it receives. 

17. How does one embed a ToonDoo in a blog or website or forum?

To embed a ToonDoo into your blog or website, just copy and paste the embed code there. This code can be found by clicking on the embed icon below any toon. There are two types of embed codes: the html and flash based codes. You can use either of these depending on your requirement. The flash-based code is recommended for tight spaces whereas the html-based code can be used on any site or blogging platform.

18. Objects in my toondoo have become haywire in the published version of the toon. This is not how I arranged them in the creator. Help!

This typically happens in case of too many objects arranged in a toon such that they overlap each other. You can reopen the toon in the creator, delete the objects that have moved and add them again from the galleries, repositioning them as you do. This will help get your toon back on track.

However, if this doesn't help or if you're having this problem often, report it to us with a few screenshots to toondude@toondoo.com or toondudette@toondoo.com.

19. How do I change my toondoo password?

You can change your password, profile picture or other profile details by going to the 'Edit profile' page (from the 'Etc' dropdown in the top menu)

20. I've forgotten my toondoo password. Can you help?

Here's how you can get a new password...


 

21. I'm not receiving any email alerts whenever there is any activity related to my toons. Why is that?

You need to have the email alerts option turned on (Check the current setting under 'My profile' under the 'Etc' dropdown)

If you're still not receiving alerts despite this option checked, please update your email address from the Edit Profile page. An invalid or incorrectly spelt email address can lead to loss of important ToonDoo communication!


22. How are inappropriate toons checked and how do they get a thumbs-down sign on them?

 
Here is a toon explaining how the inappropriate content gets checked...



Please note that you need to have the Safe Search option ON if you do not wish to view any inappropriate content at ToonDoo. You can switch this ON (or OFF!) from the option on the top right corner, whenever you’re logged in to ToonDoo.

32. Where can I see the ReDoo history for a toon?
