Question to staff:
Am I allowed to make an island journal to show off all my houses I made in Happy Home Paradise? (I wanted to make a home for all 413 villagers at one point) or is it only for showing off your Animal Crossing islands and towns?

Hi! That would be perfectly fine! You are allowed to create a journal for any AC game and any portion of that game that you would like to share.

I do not believe this qualifies under hacking, but I want to be sure.

On the Citra emulator, there exists ways to go online. These ways will exist even after the official servers shut down. Is it in violation to discuss this on the forums?

On a related note, is mentioning the existence of custom firmware on the 3DS in violation of rules?

I'm trying to buy a red envelope collectable for an inactive member but their username doesn't show up in the recipient list. Can you only send collectables to active members?

You can send collectibles to any user! The autofill dropdown will only show users who've been on fairly recently. I don't recall what the cutoff is off the top of my head, maybe it's a year at most. If their username doesn't show up in the dropdown, you'd just have to manually enter it in.

I tried that but it said that the user couldn't be found

Which user were you trying to send the collectible to?

@ExperimentalAlligator and I'm realizing now that I think I miss spelled it the first time around I copied from their page and it didn't give the error when I put it in my cart so I think that was it. Thanks for your help though!

Anyone?

Anyone?

I'm not a moderator or staff obviously, but I would err on the side of not discussing that here. At least not in explicit detail (i.e. discussing how one goes about doing it or linking to resources allowing it). It is, at best, a legally grey area, even if it's a notion of the law that I firmly disagree with.

I'm not an expert on this kind of thing, but I would say casual mentions of their existence would be okay in the same way Dolphin and wiimmfi are mentioned around the forum now. However, as Belle T stated above, any explicit posts explaining how to set these things up or providing links to them or instructional videos/articles would be against the rules.

Gotcha, thank you!

Now I have to find the thread that I really wanted to comment in about this, dangit.

Hey there, so where is the BB code to resize an image while keeping its native resolution? I couldn't find it here and I saw some people were doing it (example) and I want to know how it works.

That'd be the width and height options for images! You'd specify it using either width="##px" or height="##px" within the initial attachment or image tag. As an example, here's an attachment with no option specified for it, BB code being [ATTACH type="full"]537032[/ATTACH]:

Spoiler

Now here's the same attachment with the height modifier set to 400px, BB code being [ATTACH type="full" height="400px"]537032[/ATTACH]:

Thanks for telling me! I have a problem though. For some reason when I copy-paste the code to a post or my signature, it just says "View attachment 537032" with a link to the image. No height modification or anything. You'll see what I mean in the post I quoted. How did you do it correctly???
Edit: Sorry! NVM! I just woke up and I felt dumb when I typed this. Finally figured out the code. Thanks again!

Hi, how do you tag the text as spoilers. I saw spoiler texts around here being blurred. I know the process of tagging spoiler texts on discord but not here. I would like to know how to tag spoilers for typed words or text.

Thank you!

You click on this button to see more options when creating a post and then click on "Inline spoiler" and then type the text you want spoiled inside of the spoiler brackets. I hope this helps!

There's two ways to spoiler text. The first is an actual spoiler box. The BB code for this is [spoiler="Optional Title"]Some Text[/spoiler], like so:

Spoiler: Optional Title

Some Text

This is where you'd find it in the WYSIWYG editor:

Spoiler: Spoiler Box WYSIWYG

The second is to inline spoiler it, which will blur it out. The BB code for this is just [ispoiler]Some Text[/ispoiler], like so:
Some Text

This is where you'd find it in the WYSIWYG editor:

Spoiler: Inline Spoiler WYSIWYG

e: Ninja'd by @-Mars- above, but hopefully it's helpful nonetheless

Thank you both for replying! I'll take note on the inline spoiler tags whenever I wanted to type in and tag as spoilers.

For some reason, I'm not getting email notifications any more? I double-checked my preferences, and I should still be getting them. They're not in my Junk folder either. I saw someone mention something about not getting notifications if they don't log in for a long time, but I log in every day. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
