Sorry if this was already answered somewhere else, but will the Train Station & Retail boards be closed after the 8th? I noticed that the Auction House & the Gate are closed even though there are now ways to play City Folk online again.

We have not discussed this yet, but I think it's likely. Oblivia stated in an earlier post that the New Leaf board will probably get moved into the General AC forum after the servers shut down and I imagine the NL specific trading boards would be closed at the same time. For the older games that no longer have Nintendo online support, there isn't as much activity so it's common to make threads in the main board for visiting or trading.

This hasn't actually been discussed but I'd say it's likely, yes.

I have a question about editing posts!
If I edit a post after I already made it, and I @'d someone in that post, will that person get notified? o:

No, they won't! Users who are @'d will only be notified during the original post, not in any subsequent edits. Merged posts also won't notify users.

Not sure where to ask this but is trading between this site and New Horizons (e.g. trading TBT for items in-game) definitely in compliance with Nintendo’s terms of service?

I’m not sure, but I know that there’s an entire forum for doing this.

i forgot if it was in this thread but there was a question asked about the bell deductions if posts are edited. i've been moving all of my old posts on my island journal to spoilers once i post a newer post so that it's easier to navigate. i think when i did this (even though i didn't remove content) bells were deducted from my account??

not sure if this is common or working as expected? i can start just posting my posts in the spoiler from the beginning but i'm wondering if that's something that could be tweaked?

Words in spoilers do not count towards your bell count.

ah bummer. i kinda wish this was modified, i feel like it makes navigating island journals easier if they're spoilered so you dont have to scroll through a barrage of images to get to the latest post. i think i can make it work with just my linked table of contents though. thanks!

you're right, i removed the spoilers and got my bells back. thanks!

Are we allowed to talk about the site's functions.. ? I wanted to muse about how to make the inventory feature better but I'm worried that's not allowed?

 

[Sharksheep]

I'm having issues with the mass action for my inventory. I cant even find what collectible is selected

 

[Yanrima~]

How do I post a gif here that is from other sites besides Imgur?

Thank you!

 

[TN4U]

The forum seems to be having issues. I’m getting constant server error messages when browsing and posting. Anyone aware of this?

EDIT: No longer occurring as of April 27.

 

[g u a v a]

does anyone know if you get bells for posting in island journals anymore? does it matter if the thread is closed? i feel like my past couple entries haven’t gotten me any bells.

I suppose it could be considered a grey area, but I don't see an issue given that we don't sell TBT bells for real money. But also just practically speaking... it doesn't matter, nobody at Nintendo is going to track you down for your in-game trades on TBT.

Meta discussion of matters like that is definitely okay and can sometimes be useful for us to know. I will say that in this particular case though we definitely are already well aware of many faults with the inventory management, so I don't know if it will particularly useful, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with musing about it as you say.

Are you still experiencing this issue? As in, is it a consistent issue with your inventory, or something temporary and resolved by refreshing or clearing data? I assume you tried the Deselect all option seen in your screenshot?

Sorry, I don't quite understand the question. You can embed an image from anywhere.

I just had a look and the feature does seem to be enabled still. I checked and your last two posts in this thread did earn you 15 Bells each.

I was thinking on other GIF hosting sites like Tenor for example in which I have to copy paste the entire URL but instead of the GIF itself, its a link to that GIF. Imgur has a dedicated share links URL for forums by comparison to other gif hosting sites. Again, I'm sorry for not going into detail with that question. Hope this clear things up a bit.

edit: ok, I basically found out how to post gif here from other gif hosting sites. Thank you again!

Where can you find out when a collectible was made? I can see the last updated when I go to a collectible's page but am unsure when it was made...

It's on top of the "Item Information" box. But it looks like some collectibles were created on 12/31/1969, which is pretty strange because TBT didn't exist at that point in time. Is that what you were concerned about?

I dont know if concerned is the right word
but I would like to know when the actual date or year when the collectible was created /released
