I stopped using the forum a long time ago and came back with ACNH. Long ago, I used BTB to make my username purple. Now I see a thread saying username colors depend on a user's rank as mod, admin, etc, which I take to mean custom-colored usernames are no longer a thing. My question is, will I receive a refund, or maybe one has already been issued months ago and I didn't hear about it because I was no longer in TBT?

Another quick question about forum rules, can a thread be co-owned - as in, everything happens on one user's island, but another user helps out with thread organization, answering, DM'ing, etc? Different roles would be described on the thread's first post so users would know to whom they should leave negative feedback should anything ever happen (but it won't).

I think you have misremembered. We haven't allowed user's have custom username colours before - at least not in the six years I have been on the team anyway. The exception to this is if you won a temporary one in an event. What I suspect you may be thinking of is user title colours, which will be returning once the shop system is back up and running.

As long as all accounts involved belong to separate people, rather than one person operating several, then this should be fine (if I'm understanding it correctly anyway!). Note that only one person is technically the thread owner - so they will be the only one who can edit the first post.

Blog Tree coming back?

Where can we find the old AC avatars from the vBulletin forum? They don't seem to be anywhere now, I've even tried Google searching for them with no results

Blog Tree coming back?

No, unfortunately it isn't. The blog tree will be archived and posted by the staff at some point so that all the entries that were made before are accessible.

 

[Sicariana]

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but it's worth a try.
Are there any plans to add a section for villager trading in the discord? It seems like people are posting both in the airport and nooks-cranny channels about exchanging/selling/buying villagers.

 

[Laureline]

How come I can see some people’s feedback % below their name and not others?

 

[Aleigh]

This might be a stupid question but it's been on my mind for awhile:

Will we receive the TBT we earned by posting during all this, or was it completely frozen? I just keep thinking things like "man I would've gotten a lot of tbt for this post"

 

[Dwayne Johnson]

is there a reason i can't seem to add any images to my signature?

Understandable. I guess I could use Blogspot or stick to Instagram.

 

[John Wick]

I'm still seeing posts by ignored users and it's a little frustrating.

I couldn't see them when 3.0 first came out, unless someone quoted them, but now the post is there with an option to read it.

How can we get it to not show at all again?
It was good.

Couldn't we just have a section in the forum for members to have a thread for their game journals?

I can recall the staff mentioning something about this. Let me see if I can find what Jeremy said about it.

This is what he said:

While we've decided to retire the blog due to lack of use, we'll be considering an Animal Crossing focused alternative for those who use it as their town blog.

That would be really easy and cool.

Due to some confusion in Ask the Staff we're making a thread dedicated to site related questions. This would involve things like signature guidelines, shop restocks, future updates, or any TBT related questions.

Useful Links:​

• Frequently Asked Questions
• Guides on signature rules
• Guide to TBT Bells and how to use them
• Changing the size of your spoiler and positioning

And the purpose of this thread is to ask questions about the site. Staff or members can answer these questions if they know they answer to it. Leave any silly or personal questions in Ask the Staff

im having trouble figuring out how to bold me thread titles, I’m new here but I’ve read all guides and have searched through all posts with “bold” in them but no answers

a thread title being bolded means you haven't read the thread yet, it's not something people manually do

 

[Vivy]

Ohhh

a thread title being bolded means you haven't read the thread yet, it's not something people manually do

thank you!

Is there a way to change your username without paying 1,200 bells? I swear it used seashells before 3.0, I've also heard people say that the shop version is just an instant change, and there's a place you can ask staff to change it or something?

Unfortunately, this still requires you to buy an item to show the staff, named "Manual Username Change". And that item still costs the same as the item that gives you a self-imposed username change (as in the item that does not require staff assistance).

All that is different between these two is the manual one gives you access to a wider range of options like spaces and symbols and the instant one only gives you access to only the letters of the alphabet (albeit capital or lowercase is allowed here) and nothing else (even spaces) [IIRC]

Both these items are found in the shop btw.

Or at least that was how it was before TBT got upgraded to 3.0

But now I'm only seeing one Username Change, so I'm confused

 

[Freddie]

Before Bell Tree 3.0, I bought a manual username change that I didn’t know how to use. Is it still possible to use it?

 

[Rave]

Also a bit confused on the username change- I have the seashells to change my name but it doesn't seem to be a shop option?
