I may be missing something… but how do you delete a poll on a thread? I put one on my Splatoon thread about the splatfest teams and cannot figure out how to remove it! Thanks in advance for the help!

I've removed this for you.

I've removed this for you.

Ooh on this note, I have one in my Make or Break Museum shop thread I’ve wondered how to remove for a long time! How does one remove them?

Members can't delete polls themselves. I've gone ahead and removed this for you.

Makes sense actually, thank you so much!

How do I change the order of the lineup on my profile? I've looked all over .'.

The only thing I can think of is to discard the ones I already have.

From our FAQ:

How Do I Change the Order of My Collectible Lineup?
Currently, there is no easy way to do this beyond trading others for specific collectible dates.

Collectibles are automatically organized by the date of the collectible. The collectibles with the newest date will be displayed on the top left whereas the oldest dated collectible will appear on the bottom right.

In cases where the date and time of the collectibles are the same, the collectible ID (the number at the end of the URL on its shop page) will be taken into account. The lower the number, the older the collectible. This means a collectible with an ID of, for example, '300,' will appear before (to the left of) a collectible with an ID of '200' if the date and time are the same.

Most people trade collectibles to get specific timestamps.

I see. That declines my interest rather intensively.

However, thank you, I do appreciate the information. It'll save me from digging through my profile settings looking for this.

(The place I sought this information initially was 'The Bell System: Beginners Guide'). I looked in the wrong place.

In certain cases, if you click on a user’s profile, it gives you a message saying

“Oops! We ran into some problems.

This user's profile is not available.”

What does the message mean?

I've seen instances of people making a thread asking for stuff in an Animal Crossing game, then people redirect them to services in the forums that have it available.

For example, Person A is looking for a dormant volcano from ACNH in a specific variant. Person B replies to the post, saying "Go to [username]'s thread! They have everything you need."

I didn't realize you could get warnings for that until I saw someone bring it up. Is it really allowed or not?

It either means their account is de-activated, or they have been permanently banned.

That would count as “interfering with others’ trading threads”, which is against the rules. You can direct Person A to Person B’s thread by posting in Person B’s thread or on Person A’s profile, but not on Person A’s thread.

I think the "Your content" feature (where it shows you all the posts you've made if you click your profile at the top) may be broken. It has not shown any posts I've made in the last four hours. Usually, it updates itself immediately.

EDIT: Seems to be working as intended now.

Is anyone else not getting notifications from Discord? When I open the app, the red notification pops up, so it is working.

I’ve also checked the notification setting on my IPhone for Discord. Banner and sounds are activated. My phone isn’t on silent mode either so it’s not that.

 

[TN4U]

Not sure if it's just me, but the site seems to lose connection every once in a while. Sometimes, pages take longer than usual to load and posts take several seconds to be created.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

Will you guys eventually add a new rule that enforces patience among the members?

What do shells do as a currency in the game?

What do shells do as a currency in the game?

On this site? I don't recall them being a currency in the actual game. Shells can be used to purchase things in the shop. For example, you can buy a username change for 10 seashells rather than 1200 bells.

Note that not everything can be bought with seashells in the shop.

Is there a way to pick and choose the little icons next to my name in posts? I mean the ten little boxes... in my case they are mostly balloons. Can I rearrange them in a specific order and choose from ones that are seemingly no longer there?

the ones you own should be in your inventory page from the shop tab of the header bar (bell bag icon)

to be visible in your sidebar they must be active+unhidden. to remove one from sidebar visibility, either deactivate or hide after ticking it in the selection box

for the order, they're largely ordered from oldest generated (bottom right) to newest generated (top left), running right to left, bottom to top, with some exceptions. which, with some exceptions, you can largely only change your ordering via trading with other users (hence occasional date trade threads in the marketplace)

some exceptions have been certain prize collectibles that staff let people pick their timestamp out of a specified range (of the event period the prize collectible was won during) and historic scenery (which were bought and then modified by the buyer to a certain scenery+timestamp). I think there may of been at least one other instance where the generation order doesn't match up with the visible placement, but it's largely ordered based on generation order. and staff generally don't adjust timestamps, except for specified above

I've searched this thread for my particular question, but I couldn't find any answers: Is there a limit on how many replies you can have in a conversation?
