are we allowed to mention other social media?

I know Croc already answered, but I thought I'd share what is says in "The Bell Tree Rules and Guidelines" thread under "Post Quality" in case it helps!

The following types of content fall under post quality violation and may be removed or moved to The Basement at a moderator's discretion alongside a warning or suspension:

Threads and posts created solely to advertise your blog, forum, Discord server, Tumblr, YouTube, website, shop, contest/entry, etc.. Instead, use your signature to share these websites, but be sure to follow the signature rules.

would it be okay to post a video of a speedpaint i did in my art thread in the museum? or would that violate the rule about not making posts just to advertise? i want to show the finished drawing and the speed paint.

Where would a thread for me asking to catalog items in NH go? The Airport or Nook's Cranny?

People put those in Nook's Cranny because it's a transaction
the airport is for inviting people over

is cursing allowed? just curious

It depends on the context.

• Excessive bad language, to the point the user's overall tone is coming off needlessly aggressive, can incur a warning for Overly Negative, Toxic, or Inflammatory Behaviour.
• Cursing aimed at another person would break our Rules and Guidelines regarding Respecting Others.
• Words you have attempted to censor yourself, leaving one or more letters visible or replacing letters with other symbols, would be warned for Censor Bypassing. If you're going to curse, it is better to type the word out in full and if it isn't allowed the censor will kick in and catch it for you.
• The occasional curse word not aimed at another person, fully censored by our swear filter, is fine.

Sorry if this question has been asked before -- are we allowed to use Island Journals for non-NH villages? It's under the New Horizons category but I wanted to make a journal for my GameCube AC town. Thank you!!

I think for that case you would be fine just making a thread in the AC:GCN board to use as a blog, since that board doesn't get much attention anyways.



idk if I've asked this before and I apologize if this kinda question isn't allowed, but whatever happened to Bobo? I remember they were picked to become part of the TBT Staff and then they just disappeared and they're not listed as a staff member anymore. I'm just curious.

it also seems like their account doesn't exist anymore so I almost feel like I hallucinated the whole thing lol

I'll discuss this with the team and then get back to you on this one.

We announced that Bobo was stepping down from the team in our June 20th 2021 Bell Tree Direct. He still comes online now and then to trade and participate in our events as a regular member.

How do you type the spoiler command? I want to know how to show pictures without the file being too big.

Do you happen to know what is the limit for file size on photos?

I remember this has come up previously (quoted below)!

there is simply a hard limit on file size which is around 2MB (which I can pretty safely assume was set to prevent the storage needs for the website growing out of hand). The 30 second clips you get directly from your Switch are roughly ten times this size limit. If you want to share those here, you will unfortunately need to find a way to upload them elsewhere.

Just want to make absolutely sure I'm understanding how my collectibles inventory screen works. Checking that little box next to the word "discard" doesn't actually discard them, correct? It will allow me to make multiple collectibles display or not display with one command, right? Because I'd been going through and changing them individually, with the page reloading every time, but if I can do multiple collectibles at once, that makes it much more appealing to change my lineup more often.

I just don't want to accidentally delete all of my favorite collectibles in one fell swoop because I didn't understand how the inventory screen works. ^o^;>

And if I were to somehow accidentally delete a collectible that I didn't mean to, would there be some way to get it back? Or is it just gone forever?

if you use an external image host like Imgur or ImgBB there is no limit, but yeah if you're directly uploading an image to the forum using the forum's uploader the limit is like 2MB.

yeah clicking the little checkbox will allow you select that collectible, so you can select multiple and activate/deactivate/hide/etc all of the selected ones at the same time.

Spoiler: like this

also I've always wondered that myself, luckily if you try to discard a collectible there will be a pop-up that says "are you sure you want to discard this?" and then you have the option of saying no. but in the case of like actually accidentally deleting a collectible, I'm not sure how that would be handled. I assume it hasn't actually happened to anyone here, at least not recently.

@xSuperMario64x Thank you! I was always so afraid to try just clicking things on the inventory screen without knowing what they would do. Experimenting with my lineup is so much easier than I thought!

Does anyone have any problems gaining TBT bells recently? I write a entry for my journal each day, however, for some entries I am not receiving any bells! Has anyone else been experiencing this in the past few days? I've tried logging out and back in, but no luck. I also had a look in the transaction page to see if they were appearing, however, only some of my journal entries are visible there, not all of them.
Thanks!

Bells work differently in the Island Journal sub-board. Instead of receiving bells for every post, you only receive them for your first post of the day.
