hoping a staff member can clear this up, i'm guessing it's a yes but i just wanna make sure:

if i remember right you're allowed to take rlc commissions in the museum shop, so does this also mean you're allowed to accept currency bought with real cash (such as flight rising gems or dA points) for art as well?

Yes, as long as it's only for art matters and not related to TBT bells or collectibles in any way.

Is there a way to delete or hide certain Visitor Messages from our profile page? I'm not looking to clear out all my Visitor Messages. I'd just like to be able to get rid of just a couple. Thank you!

on your profile page with the message tab open, theres a check box on the far left side of the message. if you select the ones you don?t want, you can go to the bottom of the page and click ?moderation tools? and delete those messages

Thank you so much for your help! I honestly never noticed the "moderation tools" button. Now I feel stupid but at least I removed the messages I didn't want to see any longer. Thanks again!

Does having your birthday public impact your chances of getting birthday bells as opposed to having it private?

Do mods and other staff members see the site differently compared to regular members? Like are there more buttons and clicky things for the staff or does the site look exactly the same and you have to go in a 'staff mode' to do staff-y site thing?

 

[Laconic]

Kind of on topic to what Stella said, but what aren't Mods allowed to participate in? I saw some talking in another thread about not being able to participate in certain activities on the forum because they're moderators.
What exactly can they no longer do?

The two currencies are likely tied to the upcoming Halloween event, which should be starting within the hour according to Jeremy.

The staff would have options to warn members, delete the post, and few other things on each post. There would also be a drop down menu at the top of the thread that allows them to lock threads, delete threads, etc. They would also have a moderation queue on the site where they can go through reported posts and unapproved posts. As far as I know, the staff do not need to go into any kind of "Staff Mode", as it would just be poor design.

In the past, staff have mentioned that they are discouraged from participating in events like the Egg Hunt where they would already know all the answers, or any other event where there is a hidden component.
Since they are not allowed to trade collectibles or TBT Bells, they are also discouraged from participating in restocks or using the shop for collectibles in a way that affects the general TBT Marketplace. I think in the past, staff have gotten one or two collectibles from events they have helped organize.
Things that the staff could participate in would be unofficial tournaments like Smash Brothers or Mario Kart, or game nights which TBT used to have fairly often.

Heyyy, I was wondering how do you get a REAL transparent background on your avatar?
Because I've tried uploading some pictures with transparent bg, but it always turns the transparent thing into white...
Like right now what I did is just "paint" the bg of my avatar with the forum's color, but how do you make it really transparent? Cuz it's showing in The Woods and it's ugly.

make sure your image is saved as a .png, and make sure it's resized to 100 pixels in height! it should work then.

Oh you're right! The problem was that my pics were not scaled down to 100p... thanks a lot!

Are there any plans to add a "raffle" prefix to the tbt marketplace? I've seen raffles marked as giveaways a few times and when you look they're taking a fee of tbt to enter. I just think it would make more sense to have a prefix for it

This is a really good idea, in order for somethin to be a pure giveaway, it must be free. However people will have raffles marked as giveaways and while most of the time the first entry is free, more entries cost tbt, so it does defeat the purpose of calling it a giveaway. I can't tell you how many times I've gone in a thread marked giveaway and it was actually a raffle.

I looked in the Bulletin Board section and am pretty sure that I already know what the answer is, but to be absolutely sure: Were the Orange Candy and Purple Candy not acquirable through any means last year? They first showed up first in 2016, came back in 2017, and have returned this year, but it looks as though they weren't included in 2018. Is that the case? Trying to figure dates for a lineup.

If someone on your Ignore List ever changes their username does your Ignore List update to their new username? Thank you!

Yes it does. There are some members on my ignore list, and their usernames did not stay the same on the list once they changed their usernames.

Thank you for replying! I'm glad to know the Ignore List will update the usernames if they change. Thanks again!
