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.

Gotcha, gotcha. No biggie, just thought I would ask. I appreciate the response!

I noticed this for the first time when I sent someone TBT yesterday and wanted to ask...what is the "redeem" page for that comes up on the side next to donate when you send someone bells? It has a little box with "redemption code" in it. I'm just wondering what this is and if it's a current feature of the site! Thanks!

I don’t believe there’s any active use right now, but generally during events like the TBT Egg Hunt there’s “puzzles” that require you to enter the correct phrase into the redemption form.

If I were to do a dream journal (a journal of random islands I bump in to while using dream suite) where would it go?

Would it go in the island journals? Are we even allowed to upload tour blogs about other peoples islands?​

 

[JellyBeans]

is it possible to search within a thread to find your own replies?

You can use your own Island Journal for this purpose, yes. It is fine as long as the thread clearly isn't an advertisement for other social media - eg if you were using it to advertise videos from your own YouTube account then this wouldn't be okay.

is it possible to search within a thread to find your own replies?

Yes, you can!

1. Go to the thread you want to search
2. Open the search menu (next to the shop button)
3. Leave the 'search' field blank
4. Select "this thread" from the dropdown menu
5. Enter your own username in the 'member' field
6. Press search

Will we ever see more balloon collectibles? I (as well as mog, for sure) would love to see a yellow one!

How exactly does the Extended Feedback Stats work on your profile? The charts don't really make much sense to me.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

Another question I have that I've been wondering for a while. Some collectibles have high-res versions that were probably shrunk down (weird doll, strange doll, 2019 candy cane) but are there any other collectibles like this? If so, I'd be interested in seeing the high-res versions of other collectibles

If not, then I'm assuming you guys make these collectibles the same way that, say, sprites in video games are made?

Can l change the theme on the forums to make it darker because it's too bright for me. Idk if it's possible or not.

There are a few collectible sets of items in various colors (balloons, candies, feathers, etc.) so it is possible to add another to the set, but there are no immediate plans for one that I'm aware of currently!

The extended feedback stats are a way to view how your feedback evolves overtime (including your feedback activity). You may learn that there are certain days/times when you trade often and see dips or spikes of particular feedback.

For example, on July 1 if you received five positive feedback and then received only one on July 2, you'd see the line dip. If you then received 10 on July 6, you'd see a spike upwards.

We only have one theme at this time so unfortunately this is not possible. We did have the colors change throughout the day before we made the switch to XenForo from vBulletin (e.g.: there would be a nighttime banner and a darker blue background during the night). This is something we're hoping to bring back in some capacity in the future.

If you have Windows 10, I would recommend turning on 'Night Light' or reducing the brightness within your display settings. An application such as flux may also help combat the brightness. Lifesaver for me!

Ok thanks and my laptop is on the lowest it can be, it's just brighter on phone even when screen is at maximum darkness.

on the mobile version of the site is there a way to let signatures display? no one's signatures are visible for me

also what exactly does "ignoring" someone do? does it just not bring any notifications from the person?

1. There is - technically! If you’re using iOS, turn off ‘Portrait Orientation Lock.’ On Android, turn auto rotate on. When viewing the site, turn your phone horizontally and you’ll be able to view it in desktop mode and will see signatures.

2. If you ignore a user, their posts will be hidden automatically for you; however, you have the ability to uncover them. They are still be able to see your posts but will not be able to send you private messages.

Is it bad if l help someone on here with TBT, like l send them TBT once in awhile to help them reach their goals?

I've made many typos in my ACNH Coffee Contest entry, but I've saw you're not able to edit your post. Can I edit it to fix the typos? Thanks

I've been wondering, does the new conversations inbox have some sort of limit? I ask because there used to be one in the old inbox but I can't find any capacity info on there now.
