Yeah, if you simply upload via the site uploader, it will deduct bells from you. Use

tags and upload them to a third party site to avoid getting bells taken away.

https://www.belltreeforums.com/profile.php?do=editattachments I think you can still remove those and get bells back if you can still access the thread, ie. not closed and stuff.

Wow, thank you so much! I had no idea, I feel a bit of a nugget now haha.

 

[Alienfish]

No problems.. Same here. There are some still I can't get rid off but eh I'll live with it haha...

I’m noticing more and more lately that people keep bumping threads that have been dead/inactive for several months or longer, which reminds me of one of the rules of the site.

Posts which "bump" an inactive thread from an extended period of time ago, unless the topic is still relevant.

While I get that some of these threads may be “relevant,” often a lot of the time there are threads that ask the same question or a similar question, talk about the same topic, etc. I thought that these sorts of bumped threads would immediately get locked for having been a necro thread. What is the rule again to determine whether it is necro or not (I think I remember reading somewhere that it’s 30 days)?


A lot of the time, it seems like the poster is more interested in raising their post count by doing this than by perhaps posting on a thread that already talks about that topic recently, or creating a new one themselves (which also draws into question the creation of new threads that cover the same topics as recent ones).


What is TBT Staff’s stance on this (I’m a journalist, so I get curious about these sorts of things)?

 

[Oblivia]

I have no issues whatsoever with people bumping older threads so long as the thread topic is one that can still be discussed. If someone is posting in old shop threads or cycling threads in such a case where the OP has been inactive for multiple months, that's another story entirely.

As far as not posting in a thread after 30 days of inactivity, placing an expiry date on something like that seems pretty nonsensical to me, and as stated above, I see no harm in people bumping up old-ish threads that are based on a topic that interests them. I also understand that sometimes people can feel intimidated to create their own threads and feel more comfortable finding an existing thread dedicated to a topic they might want to discuss, and I'm certainly not going to punish them for that.

Now, if someone is posting short, pointless replies en masse or seems to be bumping threads on purpose simply to spam, that's obviously a different situation and should be reported so the staff can look into things. So long as the posts are contributory and don't break post quality rules, I'd see no reason to step in, even if it seems a user is "trying to raise their post count", as you put it. After all, this is a forum and we want to encourage people to participate in discussions!

I'll reiterate that people are welcome to report instances where they believe someone may be breaking PQ rules or a duplicate thread exists and we'll be happy to assess the situation.

 

[Midoriya]

Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining that, Oblivia. Whenever I’ve seen it happen it has not been pointless spam (the poster more than often is actually engaging with the topic of the thread), so it should be fine. Thank you.

This is probably a really stupid question, but how does one post a poll? I see the post a poll option, but how do you enter the title and options?

Not that it matters much, but I swear the Tasty Cake price was lower than 35... is it permanently gonna be like this now?

This is probably a really stupid question, but how does one post a poll? I see the post a poll option, but how do you enter the title and options?

You have to post in the subject and title of the thread, then check mark creating a poll at the bottom (should be a part of advanced options if you want to go there). You also type a number for how many poll options you want under the creation of the thread, and then it should take you to the poll once you post the thread. From there, enter the title of the question for the poll, and then enter the choices in the number of options you selected beforehand.


I hope this helps.

I'm not too sure if this is the right place to ask.

But someone I am trading with had wrote on my profile message and had deleted it. Since I never had the chance to see it before it was deleted I am still getting a notification that I have an unseen visitor message. Is there any way I can get rid of this notification?

Deleting a visitor message should get rid of the notification

 

[Giddy]

Deleting a visitor message should get rid of the notification

Thank you for replying.

Sadly though it won;t give me the chance to delete it, only the other visitor messages they have sent.

Update: It's gone now

Why are Bell Tree Weeks a lot rarer than I expected? We only had two within the last sixteen weeks.

We would certainly like to have them more often but we easily fall habit to always wanting to make events larger... I'm sure we could have them more frequently but they would more boring, like just adding a few collectibles in the Shop and calling it a day.

Regardless, they're still more extra events in-between the usual staples. In past years, there would have been nothing happening in March and May at all.
