While we're on the topic of security, now would probably be a good time to say that you can look up your email address or sign up to email alerts at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ for if your password gets leaked.

I bought a tasty cake. Does it do anything other than look pretty? It's okay if it doesn't. I like cake.

Your Tasty Cake is just one of many collectibles that are available on this site. Collectibles don't have any real function other than their looks and rarity. You can sell certain collectibles for a lot of forum Bells which can be used for other purposes, but the Tasty Cake is very common and will not sell for much.

You have to make a thread in the Contact the Staff board. There, you can choose a topic and
Username Change is one of them. You also type there what name you want and a staff member
will then change the name for you.

- You can't ping users, but a lot of people press like on others' posts when they leave a reply.
- No, the amount of bells is recalculated. If you add more to the post, you will end up gaining a little bit. If you remove from the post, you will end up losing a little bit.
- Seashells are given to new members so they can afford some of the site's add-ons. I do not believe there is any way to earn it. Tinsel was used for the Christmas event which is now over, but you can find the details for it here!

There are also certain milestones where users get seashells, I believe. I don't know the full details though!

are birthstones discontinued know??

 

[Mr_Persona]

are birthstones discontinued know??

no they're still in the shops

I think that the Jan Birthstone might come in late

- - - Post Merge - - -

I remember one of the birthstones came in the shop late one time
also it could be the christmas collectibles are in the shop rn and maybe after they remove the christmas collectibles, they'll put the birthstone back the shop.

Are flowers no longer a rotating shop collectible?

How does one fix a missing post glitch? I'm sure this question has been asked before, but there's no definite place here to find the answer.

I think really the only way is for someone to post on the thread again so that the previous post shows up. Not sure if there’s other ways of doing it or not.

I was thinking that, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

 

[neoratz]

sorry if this is a dumb question, is there something that determines the order collectibles are displayed :?

The newer it is, the more to the top left it'll be.
