Iceberg viewing

How do I download the iceberg as an image file?

At the top right of the iceberg are the sharing buttons. The rightmost one opens the iceberg as image.

How can I propose new entries?

If the creator has marked the iceberg with "proposals wanted", there will be a form below the iceberg where you can input an entry name, description, link, and if the iceberg uses them, a category and entry markers.

Why are some entries highlighted?

By default, entries added or changed after 24h after the iceberg was created are highlighted for 6 hours.
This so people who see your iceberg again can see what has changed. The highlighting won't be visible on downloaded images.

Click here to see how to turn it off anyway.

What do iceberg tags do?

They subdivide categories even further and help users finding your iceberg via the Tag Search

How do I favorite an iceberg?

When logged in, click on the white star to the left of the name on the iceberg

Iceberg creation

Is it possible to create icebergs without an account?

No, unfortunately, due to a number of spam attacks, this is not possible anymore.

How do I add or delete a tier?

On the edit page, below the iceberg, there are two buttons: Add new last level and Hide last level.

How can I make my iceberg public?

To feature your iceberg on the frontpage, change the visibility dropdown on the top of the edit page from unlisted to "Public and featured on the main page". This only works when you have at least the minimum number of entries. Icebergs are unlisted but public by default, everyone can still access them using the /i/name path. From the /e/dit page, you can go to the public viewing page by clicking on the iceberg name.

Which category should I put my iceberg in?

Check the guide on the tutorial page.

How do I move entries within tieres?

Check the Advanced Mode checkbox, then Entries and then Advanced Entry Moving -> Move entries within tiers
Then move the entries using the changed arrow buttons

My iceberg doesn't show up in my public profile?

(1) The iceberg's visibility must be set to "public and featured on the main page"
(2) At the bottom of the edit page, you must add your username to the creator text field, then click the set creator button. Surround your username with square brackets like this: [[username]] to make it link to your profile.

How can I add an explainer video?

If you are the iceberg creator:
On the edit page, go to Advanced Mode -> Other -> Edit explainer video list
For videos that do not explain this specific iceberg, use the Edit relevant video list option below.

If you haven't made the iceberg yourself:
If the creator has marked the iceberg with "proposals wanted", there will be a proposal form below the iceberg. Paste the video link into the link text input and in the tier dropdown, select Explainer video. Then click on propose

If there is no proposal form, leave a comment below the iceberg or PM its creator.

I want to change the template, how do I do that?

Check the Advanced Mode checkbox, then Images and then Change Template
Then select the template you want to use from the dropdown and click on Reset background pictures

The image is not loading or is wrong

Try editing an entry and changing it back, then download the image again.
If it then still not works, or you don't have the edit link to the iceberg, use your browsers screenshot function to create an image.

How do I change my icebergs' name?

On the edit page next or below the name of the icebergs, there is a button, click it, change the name in the text input, and confirm with the change name button next to it.

Are there limits to the number of entries or tiers of an iceberg?

Yes, you can have at most 35 tiers and 200 entries per tier, so 7000 entries in total.

Other website functionality

How do I private message someone?

If you are logged in, there is a PM button the top right of their profile, next to the follow button.

You can also go to your private messages using the mail icon on the top right and create a chat from there. Input their name in the text input on the top left and then click the PM button next to it.

How can I reset my password?

Enter your username (or email address) into the username login field, click on sign in, since the login failed, a password reset button will appear, which will send you an email with a password reset link.

I forgot my username, what do i do?

You can use your email address in the username field as well.

I created a new template, could you add it to the site?

Maybe! Contact coda on our Discord server or PM admin on the site.

Can I remove an iceberg from my profile without deleting it?

Yes, check the "show special buttons" checkbox below your iceberg list, then click on the red cross next to the one you want to remove.

Can I change my name?

Yes, at the very bottom of the profile settings (gear icon on the top right of the page if you are logged in).
I recommend to not do that too often though, because all existing links to your profile, such as the creator credits below your icebergs, will stop working.

What do the profile badges do?

The profile badges are signs of achievement and appreciation. Hover over them to see what they were awarded for!

I forgot my username

You can log in using your email address as well. If you forgot both, contact me with any of the methods mentioned on the About page.
