How often is it generally ok to bump your own thread? I made one about wanting to buy things from others for my catalog and want to know how often it would be acceptable to bump it. Thanks!
 
Okay, very stupid signature question. I tried uploading an animated signature to tumblr, and it works and is animated there. So then I tried to insert the hyperlink into my sig, and it shows up as a broken image. I know people say to use imgur, but,

I have literally never used imgur in my life. I only go on it when people post stuff about data mines or if someone posted a completed order on there. Plus imgur seems like it lowers the quality of pics? My question is, how do I even use imgur to be able to post a pic there, then use it in my signature?

Tumblr should work, it's worked for me several times before. Are you using the right image url?

imgur shouldn't lower the quality either. It helps if you have an account, that way everything you've uploaded will stay in your image album. What you do once you have an account is click your username in the top right of the home page, then click "images", then click "add images". Once your photo's uploaded you'll be able to click it and you'll see this:

Copy the image's Direct Link (NOT its Image Link, don't let the name fool you) or simply right click your image and select "Copy Image URL"/"Copy Image Adress". That's the url you surround with image tags to include an image in your signature or in a post.
 
Ooh picture nice. I like pics to help me see what to do. Thanks! Seems like if I have this issue again I should make an account anyway.

I managed to get it on there cause the original creator had this sig in her shop as an example, and she used imgur for it.

Yeah tumblr I use for all my other not animated sigs, and I actually was using it before this one.
 
I have so many questions, I keep finding myself coming back here.

So, I want to make a QR pattern request shop. Would I do that under the Able Sisters board, cause it's a QR, or under the museum shop, because it requires tbt and can be classified as a 'graphic'?

Honeslty I'm not sure. I know people post requests and pay tbt for it on the Ables board, but mine is constant and is technically a 'shop'.

Museum Shop is fine. The Able Sisters' board is pretty dead and was never intended for shops anyway.

Ey, I can't believe you're still here. On top of my first question, what are seashells? I just got some with no information regarding what they are.

Hi, I've just become aware that I've somehow become subscribed to every thread I post in (my email has 700+ alerts 'so and so has posted in very popular thread') How do I turn this off?
Thank you!

Thank you!

After looking, you can change that preference by doing the following:

Settings -> General Settings -> Default Thread Subscription Mode: -> Set to "Through my control panel only" (you also can choose another preference as well, but I utilize that option personally)

I hope this solves your problem! :)

EDIT: Rianne beat me to it! xD

Ey, I can't believe you're still here. On top of my first question, what are seashells? I just got some with no information regarding what they are.

basically a thing meant to replace welcome bells, given to new members as well as starting around when they were released existing members who have accounts at least 2 years old (and to my knowledge, given to existing members whose accounts turn 2 years old over time)

as for their use, they're a special currency for kapp'n's seaside shack in the tbt shop, that can be used to purchase basic account upgrade/update features such as a username change or avatar animation

til: some people get email alerts for forums posts
 
just make sure you have it active in your inventory (can also be hidden, of course), and it should automatically do its work any time you upload an avatar greater than 100 pixels width
 
Uh.... does anyone know why I got three like notifications and only see one new like in my profile page? Are guests able to like posts now too? Lmao

EDIT: Is it perhaps because the person liking the post clicked on it, clicked it again to take it off, and then once more to re-like it?

ANOTHER EDIT: I got 8 like notifications now all at once, wtf is happening?
