Hi! Question about signatures. How do I set up signatures and will they pop up on my posts where the signatures go? If so, how long does that take?

Edit: Never mind! Just saw it, so please ignore this post.

Thanks~

Hi, I have another question about titles. How can I change my title from "Junior Member" to something else? I see other people with all sorts of different ones and I'm curious on how they did that.

Hi! Click 'Settings' at the top of the screen, then click 'Edit Profile' on the sidebar. Then you can enter whatever you'd like your user title to be in the box under Custom User Title.

 

[AlyssaAC]

Thanks! I didn't see that under the profile settings. I'll have to think about what to change it to.

How do I turn on HTML code? I want to buy a sig.

You can't turn on HTML code, but BB Code has a lot of functionality for signatures! To put an image in BB Code, upload your image to a photo sharing website like Imgur, then surround the link with:

Hi! I have another question about avatars. I would like to do a unique avatar picture, but I don't know where or how to do one. Any tips or suggestions?

 

[Stella-Io]

Thank you LaBelleFleur!

Rosered22 I just use my pocket camp character. I take and save a pic in PC, go to custom avatar, upload from computer, choose my pic, upload file -below the choose pic- and wait for it to be uploaded. Then I hit save at the bottom of the page. I tried to use a pic I edited, but it didn't work for some reason. Maybe it was too big of a file size. I find most usual pics work for me.

OK, thanks! I actually don't have any pictures right now, so I was thinking of finding a random Animal Crossing picture from the internet and try to save it to my computer and see if that would work by putting the URL in, but I'm worried it might be too big. I guess I'll have to try it out.

If anyone else has some tips on what to do, I'm open for suggestions. c:

Edit: Never mind! Got the picture to work! Don't need anymore suggestions, as I have found a good one! <3

Heeey, I have another question. How do I use the emogies from my phone? I see people with trees and moon emogies, and even thou I use TBT with my phone, I can't figure out how to use emogies. I use a Galaxy Samsung S5, so is it maybe a newer phone or Iphone thing?

 

[Mr_Persona]

I have a question that if a user is banned for a short time and came back from being banned but the banned thing has an expired date on it like is it saying when you will actually get ban on here forever?
I'm wondering because I think Sheila a user on here that is banned or has a email problem thing because her username is in brown rn.

You should be able to insert emojis into your posts from your phone in the same way you would an SMS or a post on social media. You don't need a specific phone to do so.
However it does not work properly in the quick reply box.

Bans lift at a very specific time - usually the exact minute the user in question was banned. So for example if a user was banned at 12:04pm on Jan 1st for three weeks, that ban won't be lifted until 12:04pm on the final day. It's just how the software works.

 

[Stella-Io]

Oh, that makes sense. I've been using the quick reply option alot lately.

Now I just gotta figure out HOW, cause I've never actually used emogies yet in social media.

 

[seliph]

An expiration date means the ban has expired. You aren't banned anymore and aren't at risk until you break the rules again.

You'd have to continuously break the rules really bad to be banned forever.

Please do not publically speculate or discuss other users bans. This is the reason I gave a discrete response as well.

Also, I'll address this even though the original post has been removed: the points system in warnings and infractions is irrelevant. We do not use it in determining ban length - this is based on your history and the actions you've been banned for. Permanent bans don't happen as a general rule.

Hi! I believe I have one last question for now about this website. Which boards allow me to close the threads I make and how do I do that?

I think they're TBT Marketplace, The Train Station (AC:NL Online), Re-Tail, and the Animal Crossing amiibo Card Post Office.
At the top of your thread in these categories on each page, there's an option called "Administrative", it's drop-down will let you close the thread.
When you go into "Go Advanced" when making a new post, you're also able to close the thread.
A bit below in the "Additional Options" section, you're able to close it with a message.
