The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

I have no idea. It's been this way for me for the past 3 hours. I cleared my browser cache but nothing's changed. I still can't access the two forums.

I also cannot access the journals part just as I was about to star making mine all pretty and stuff as for once both my children are sleeping at the same time! :')

It is completely inaccessible rather than impacting specific users. Jeremy's been notified but he's offline right now. He will likely look into it later today.

Thanks for letting us know! Just posted so you knew it was affecting more than just 1 user!

Hi, not sure if this is just happening to me, but I just noticed that when i'm trying to search it comes up with the error message " A server error occurred. Please try again later.". Doesn't seem to matter if I search for something in a particular forum or the whole site itself, nothing seems to get it to work right now.

Edit: The same error seems to occur when you click on the 'postings' tab on a user's profile as well, yet the 'latest activity' tab seems to be working perfectly fine, if that helps pinpoint the problem at all.

It is not just you - I receive the same error when attempting any search. Likely related to the above issue with not being able to access certain boards as you will see the same error when clicking 'Island Journals.' @Vrisnem has notified Jeremy so he'll be able to check it out when he's able.

Edit: the search function has been fixed!

 

[Jeremy]

Both issues have now been resolved!

 

[Jeremy]

This is related to the issue earlier, which is why I'm putting it here: searching will not show complete results for a bit because the forum's search index is being rebuilt. I'll edit this post when it's done, which should be later tonight.

I wasn't sure if I should make a thread here for this but I'll ask here first.

So I make amiibo tags and was wondering if I was allowed to do a giveaway/what that would look like as it is a physical item. I figured I'd just RNG it and pm details but I want to make sure that it's allowed first as I know the whole "physical item" thing is a unique thing for this.

Thanks!!

Sorry to say we would not allow this.

That's fine, just wanted to check! Thanks!

What's the general rule regarding homebrew discussion? I'd like to make a general discussion thread in the Nintendo section about it discussing the different features, game mods, Nintendo Wiiimmf, etc. Obviously the piracy aspect part of it is why I'm asking. If I put a disclaimer to not talk about the piracy part of it as far as where and how to get free games would it be okay to make? I personally don't think that part would be an issue here but I understand if it's something that should be normally regulated.

I think the general rule thumb is that discussion of hacking in general is not allowed under the rules in Community Guidelines Section 4, but we will see what the staff have to say.

Probably a silly question, but I've never used this feature before. I'm trying to attach an image, so I hit "Attach files". After clicking the image, it says something to the extent of the image being too large. I know theres another way to attach images, but from what I see it makes the quality extremely low. (Plus i dont know how to do it)

It's for the ACNH Campsite Contest/Event, so I want it to look as good as possible. How do I fix this? Thanks!

I would recommend using an outside image host then such as Imgur to upload your images to. Once uploaded it should include links/BB Code to use in a post for the contest.

I'll try it out. Thank you!

Is there a time limit for how long I have to edit a post? I want to post the villagers I currently had in the unrated villager's thread and want to be able to just edit the one post so I don't show up multiple times when people use the search this thread for a particular villager

Have snow bunnies become giftable/tradable yet? I ask because I want a snow bunny with a personal message attached.

If you upload an image with a link instead of trying to upload directly to the forum then it should work. Like if you initially upload it to Imgur or ImgBB and then link it here it should work just fine

As far as I know the aurora sky, yule log, and snow bunny collectibles are still non-giftable.

Is there anything I can do to report if a trader agreed to a trade and then has subsequently ignored all communications? I’m not personally bothered as I was weary and never got to the stage of moving my character out. But would like to be able warn others to be mindful of this?

As far as I am aware, there’s no time limit on post edits on TBT 3.0. You can probably go back to your very first post and edit that now if you’d like.

You can leave negative feedback as you’ve essentially done everything you can but the buyer hasn’t responded/wasted your time. If they disagree, they can report it and if needed staff with intervene further (I think, am not staff anymore).

Even with a disclaimer about piracy, would advise against a central topic as the context may quickly lead to the promotion and discussion (e.g.: guides, links to external content) of material that tip-toes around our guidelines on prohibited content.

Would be happy to look into this with you if you'd like to send me a PM with more information.
