• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

Been wondering something. If there's a scroll bar that shows up when a signature exceeds the length of a post, why isn't there one for exceeding height? I know some other forums have this to prevent massive signatures. Would help cut back on staff having to remove sigs all the time.

Something like this is on our road map, but we want to do it right. There are some issues with simply doing as you say, adding a scroll bar, and calling it a day. For one, you don't really want to encourage people to have massive signatures with tons of media in them slowing loading times, just simply because they can have a large one with a scrollbar. There's also the issue that spoilers are nice (and extremely common) for including things and the interaction of using spoilers inside a scroll-bar area could be annoying as well. Of course there are solutions around these problems too, but hopefully you can see why it's not as simple as it might seem.

It scares me that I'm #13 on that list and there's names with registration dates later than me higher up on that list.

Are we still allowed to buy/sell download codes? I was gonna make a thread asking for an SSB4 Bayonetta download code in exchange for 2,000 or more TBT Bells, but I'm not sure whether it's allowed or not.

It depends on the code itself. If the code can be purchased with real life currency (such as the Bayonetta code), then it can't, but if there is no monetary value attached to it (like the current Mew promo code at GameStop) then it can be sold.
 
Not sure if this has been asked before buuut. if you purchase a username change - what if the username you want is already in use? Do you HAVE to come up with a different username, or do you get refunded the 1200 TBT?

i think you would have to come up with a different username

You could either come up with a new one or pm an admin to see if they'd refund you.

You should look up on the members list to see if the name is taken next time though.

Well I wanted Chrys but "CHRYS" is already taken. I checked before purchasing the add-on just incase. xD
Are usernames case sensitive?

Maybe you can try Chrys, since it's just CHRYS that's taken.

All that matters is the spelling. I really wanted to be null but NULL is taken so I had to compromise.
Start thinking of a new name m8
 
IIRC Staff was working on something to enable username changes even if they username was taken.

But I'm still waiting on TBT Pokemon League so

Refunds are always handled on a case-by-case basis of course but in that situation it would probably be granted. If you want me to check a few names for you, feel free to PM me and I won't mind.
 
I tried figuring it out on my own but to no avail. How do I change/edit the title of my own thread? Thanks very much :)

if you go to edit on the first post, then choose the Go Advanced edit button, you can put the cursor in the title line and make changes there.
 
Thanks very much. 2nd question: Shortly after posting on this board, I got in trouble for my signature being too big. -.- Is there a way I can make it smaller (yet centered) myself or do I have to go back to the person who made it and have them edit it to the appropiate size? Thank you.
