The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

[LaBelleFleur]

so im sure this has been asked... but how do i make a poll? ( if u have a link to a guide that could help too )

Go to post a thread as you normally do, but tick the box under 'Post a Poll' and enter the number of options you want to have in your poll. When you click 'Submit New Thread', the next page will prompt you to enter your poll options, whether the poll is public or not & the date the poll closes (if there is one).

Hello!I'm very new here and still have a lot of questions, but one kind of covers all of them; does using mobile restrict me very much? Is all I can do on mobile just post on threads, or can I customise my profile? I have to go now though, as my phone battery is dead and I need to sleep anyway See ya!

Mobile vBulletin is somewhat restricting. I usually just use the full site on mobile (click 'Full Site' at the bottom of the page).

Another question; How do I change the timezones posts appear in? I am GMT so it should be 12:10 right now but on posts it says it's half past six! :3

Go settings > general settings, scroll down and there should be a timezone option

Quick question please
do TBT members who are in "Invisible mode" appear as "guests" on the tread information bar?

 

[SharJoY]

I am in invisible mode and it currently says 1 member and 1 guest. So am I the member and a non-registered is the guest? I only see my name at the bottom.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Guests are people(usually bots) that are viewing the thread without an account. If you've got invisible set it still counts as an active member viewing the thread.

So if you're in a thread and all you see is your name but also see (2 members and 1 guest) that means you, an invisible member, and a non-member are viewing the thread.

 

[SharJoY]

Ahhh, thank you for the info.

Alright, I gotta question.

If I do the Advanced Search and search for a username and nothing shows up, does that mean that username is available? Or does someone possibly have that username and just never created a thread or whatever?

You should check in all ten boxes when using advanced search just to make sure that you're getting results. That's probably what you were missing.

And yes, when using username search, if the user changed his/her name, then the username is no longer available.

Let's say if I changed my name to ChocolateCakeFan, and you want to username search Apple2012. It won't work under username search anymore, as you would have to rely on ChocolateCakeFan to search what I said.

But yeah, I'm not changing my name so I can avoid confusion.

Alright, I see what you mean. Apparently the name I have in mind is available.
Thanks for the help!

Super important question, is the darker circle on the banner tree a dark leaf, or a hole in the tree? Also who lives in the hole if there is a hole? Is it a turt, I hope it's a turt.

I made a topic about it.

im sure there isn't an amount decided on it's just whoever they think has the qualities to become a mod (it could be 2 ppl or it could be 4 ppl)

I came here to ask the same question. I am honestly very excited though I have a feeling I know who's getting it ^^

Since 2 mods retired I would say 2 people will replace them. But having more mods helping each other out is always a good think i guess

A couple weeks, or 1-2 weeks since jubs closed the thread for the announcement last week.

They've been quiet about it these days. Guess they are in the *must. focus* mode right now ^^
