My avatar still won't move and I keep trying to resize it to the 150x100. But for some reason it turns into a 149x95

If your GIF is 150?100 but it doesn't move, it means that the file size is too big. You can use websites like www.ezgif.com to crop, reduce the quality of, and shorten GIF files so that the file size is reduced to less than 253.9kb

How does one abuse ABD interest? I want it back

Why have a bank if there is no interest, and theft is non existent?

From what I heard, people would pool tbt together and send it to one person to collect massive interest.

Pretty much. Bad user's always ruin nice things

 

[Lavamaize]

Yeah, I was told it was beacuse users abused the ABD interest. It is mostly used now for people yo hide how much TBT they have, so people don't try to manipulate them, or know the full exetent of their TBT in deals.

That's why it was originally turned off, but not why it hasn't been turned back on. It was essentially a tool for the richest users to get even richer.

 

[Zura]

I guess in a way it was also something that kept new TBT circulating. Maybe something similar could made?

Hello,
I've a question about the notifications. I'm receiving emails for the likes & threads/posts that I follow, but I can't find a way to get any email notification when a new Visitor Message is posted. Do you have any idea how to activate the visitor message notification?

thank you

This has been addressed a few times, so I'll just copy paste an old reply for the sake of convenience.

You do not lose any TBT bells for merely editing your posts; what actually happens is an automatic recalculation of the earned bells depending on whether your new post (after the edit) is longer or shorter than the original. If it's longer, you'll gain back the bells you lost plus earn bells for the additional text, and if it's shorter, it'll calculate and redistribute a new total taking into account the lost text. If it's the same length, it'll show that bells were taken, but if you check your log again the system would have credited them back to you post-edit.

The only events where people actually lose bells are if they use the site photo uploader, are given an official warning or infraction, or if they're constantly shortening their posts. Occasionally we staff will have to manually wipe bells, but this is a relatively rare occurrence and the person is always notified when it happens.

o0o0o that makes a lot of sense lol. thanks!

How large is the belltree forums database in GB? Does the website use 1 server or load balanced across multiple servers?

There is a fee for bell and collectible corrections, but it says this when you fill out the form for them.

 

[Zura]

You're basically paying them for fixing your slips. Though it's not like the mods need your TBT and I'm sure the TBT just gets sent to cyberspace. I'd assume it's just their way of telling you to handle your money with more care and don't rely on the mods so much to fix your mistakes.

Why are there collectibles that are given during staff corrections? Like the bells corrections collectible?

 

[Dinosaurz]

I mean you still lose bells so

Also if you send the collectible they just transfer it to the person and then take the bells out of your account

 

[xSuperMario64x]

I made an art commission for someone and they haven't paid me (I know they received it, but they've been offline for a few days so I'm waiting for them to come back so that I can get ahold of them).

Is there anything that I need to do if they end up just not paying at all? It is a bit frustrating for someone to say they're gonna pay for art and then they don't.

 

[Zura]

Ah so you end up losing more money then you get back At that point, it's probably best to just ignore it.

What is the charge for bell corrections anyways?
