Okay I can't figure any of these two out.

1 the little thought bubble with the " mark in it and a plus that's next to the reply and reply with quote at the bottom of a post, what does that do?

2, how do I put a quote in another thread from a different thread? Like if I wanted to put a quote from the Place Your Random Thoughts thread to the What New Thing Did You Learn Today thread, how do I do that?

1. i think that might give you notifications about that comment? like if someone replies to it/likes it/etc, you’d be notified just like you are with your own posts - i’m not certain about this, though.

2. the same way you quote any other reply -

their comment

Hi, I can't seem to show my signature here for some reason. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Also, how do you link YouTube videos as a small thumbnail preview that takes you to the video? I believe jvgsjeff has his signature like that.

Many thanks!

Edit: nvm, the first bit is fine. I still don't know how to do the 2nd bit though.
Edit again: I've figured it out, disregard this post pls

I just noticed this today, but has tbt earning been turned off in the New Leaf trading boards, like Re-Tail?

No, it's not switched off. You earn a lower amount of bells for posts in some boards than in others. e.g. one of your posts in Re-tail today only earned 0.8 bells.

That's weird.. I created a new thread there today that didn't earn me any TBT. Any idea why that might be..?

1. That enables multi-quote. If you press multiple posts in the same thread with that and then press "reply with quote" on the last one, it will let you quote multiple posts at once.

2. The most effective way is to simple press "reply with quote" and copy & paste it to another post from my experience.

1. THAT'S what that does!

OMG NOW I can reply to multiple posts in a thread at once without constantly double posting omg.

2 oh so that's how they create the link that if you tap the >> arrows it leads you to that post.

Nice, thanks for telling me! Clears up alot of confusion I had with that.

Can someone help me? ;v; How can I make the CODE box smaller/larger, or just set different sizes?

you could try putting it in a table, only thing is if you want it centered you'd then have to either put white text (i recommend a bunch of underscores since they won't linebreak) or a transparent image in front of it:

_______________________

blah blah blah text goes here

[table=width:300][tr]
[td][color=white]_______________________[/color][/td]
[td][CODE]blah blah blah text goes here[/CODE][/td][/tr][/table]

change "300" to whatever you want, with i think 750 or so being the max

Are we allowed to advertise commissions in our signatures? im doing villager commissions over on twitter and i want to have a link to my twitter and have it say "commissions open" with that link at the bottom. The commissions are for real money so would that be an issue?

To my knowledge, it is ok to sell art commissions for real money. It is not ok though if it is for in-game items or collectibles.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that commissions for RLC are fine to promote on here. It's one if the few things on this forum that is allowed to be sold for real money and not just TBT.

Your entire signature is less than 300px so you should be good.

It's still a little big. If you're not sure and want to check, you can always take a screenshot or use a ruler extension in your browser. With the text, it's about 275 pixels in height and the limit is 250. It'd be 242 pixels with just the image and no text, which would be within the limit.

No hard feelings, I wrote the signature guide back in the day and I was flagged too you can always make it a little smaller or put it in a spoiler if you?d like.
