The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

Hi again! Back with another question about posts. I recently did some posting on here and it tried to double post like almost five times with five different posts. Is there a specific reason why when sometimes you post, it tries to double post? Is it because of internet connection? Just want to make sure why because I think I've lost some bells because of this. Thanks!
 
The other day I was tryin to upload a pic using the website host thing from tumblr, and it said my file was too large. I assume since it won't even let me upload the pic, that putting it in a spoiler is a no-go?

Also yeah I've been wondering about the double post thing too, it happens randomly for no apparent reason I'm seeing.
 
nvm I read your question wrong.

Hey, can someone send me a VM? I got 666 atm

Hello, what time is the Forum set on?

The forum isn't set on any specific time. The time you see at the bottom is your actual time. The staff typically will use EST or the other one, PST? time zones for events ending. I think someone said collectables use EST time for their bought times, trades and such.

After learning about collectible timestamps more through making mistakes, etc., they actually change based on what time zone you are in (they also change during Daylight Savings as well), but is still relative to a specific point in time (that is why I note that timestamps are GMT -4/EDT in my shop currently so people can convert the timestamps to their timezone to be better informed of what they are buying). I hope that clarifies things for you my friend! :D
 
Staaaaaff, I'm baaaaa~aaack. I have a question about games.

So I might make a game thread, and the way it's played is similar to how I imagine tbt mafia is played, sign-ups, players can 'die', requires players to have some of level of activity. The game can be progress without them making choices, but it does effect the game slightly. Full disclosure I've never even went on a mafia thread, so I don't know excactly how they are played.

My question is, due to its playing style, does this game belong on the mafia thread, or does it belong on the general game thread since it's not excactly a 'mafia' game?

It might be worth researching TBT Mafia more to see what similarities there are. If it's a mostly Mafia-like game it could possibly be posted in The Cellar since the place is pretty dead anyway right now, but otherwise it should just go in The Basement.

It's just an unfortunate glitch with our forum software that happens sometimes, sorry. It happens to myself all the time too!

You'll never actually lose bells because of this though. Or at least not any you should have. If you see them being removed, it's from the recalculation of removing the ones your double post created.

Try unchecking the 'Retrieve remote file and reference locally' box if you'd like to embed the image.

You can set the forum to your own time zone of your choosing in settings. :)
 
My concern is that since it doesn't include words like scummies, or roles like that, that it doesn't belong on a Mafia board. It also doesn't require any PMing of roles, decisions ect... I was browsing around on the Mafia how to play thread a while ago. But after a while it all started going over my head, so much to take in.

It's more like, you can choose your class, make choices, and those choices will affect your gameplay and 'survival'. Make a bad choice and you loose the game, but if you survive the X amount of days, you win.

It's kinda like a board game online? Since you can choose which room you want to stay in as well, and choose to move around. I'll do some more researching but I think due to lack of certain Mafia traits, it will end up going in the Basement.

Also thanks for the pic advice! Gonna try doin that next time I want to post a picture.

dumb question but is there a way to check the timestamp on collectibles??? does the date you were gifted collectibles override the date they were first obtained by the original owner?

The "Gift Received" date on each collectible is actually the date it was purchased from the shop, not the date you received it!

Why are the account extensions so expensive?! The animated avatars 899TBT for crying out loud.
 
I know this has been asked before, but I looked back and gave up on finding it. How do you use hyperlinks? There?s a couple threads I want to link to in my signature.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I figured it out. Just hope this doesn?t make my signature too big.

Thank you for clarifying this, but I'm still not receiving the bells. I just posted again today and it did it to me once more. I had 35 bells before I posted, but after I posted, I still had 35 bells. So I didn't receive any for that post. :/

Bell gain for posts is not enabled in all boards, it varies by board and sometimes we temporally disable for a board too.

Does the AC Switch board and New Leaf board disabled? I just tried posting again in the AC Switch board and I still got nothing. Also, I'm having this duplicate problem now with almost every post I do now. :/

No, bell gains are enabled there and you should have earned on that post. I'll look into it.

Thank you for looking into it. I don't know why I'm having this problem and I think it started about a week ago. Maybe longer. If you find what's wrong, I would really appreciate it.
