The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

So I finally got around to finishing a very belated Canvas drawing. It has a few member's reps in it. My question is if I tag/at all 8 members would that cause any problems because I am tagging too many in one post like it will mute the notification or give me a warning? I was planning on posting it in the art section since the CC is closed and I don't know where else to put it.

There's no automated punishment systems in place. Go ahead and tag them.

I accidentally posted this to the wrong thread. I meant to post the thread in Brewster's Café, but I have no idea how to move posts not how to delete them. Is there any way I could fix this issue?

I took care of this for you just now.

If your prizes have been delivered or are being delivered, may I delete the real life prizes from my inventory?

I'm curious if this would even be possible, but I know a couple other sites have an accessibility toggle on each post where you can disable the formatting within - so coloured text will turn black and the size will revert to default. Would it be possible to have something like that on TBT? It's not a huge issue here but every so often there will be a post with teeny tiny coloured font and it's near impossible to read.

Hey staff, just checking but what should I do if I have a user on discord I'd like to report for the mods to look at. Do I just make a private contact the staff thread right?

Hi, I had a question. Is violence allowed in my art page? Awhile back I drew something but it's pretty violent. If I could send it to someone, could you decide? Thanks.

We already have everyone's addresses, so everyone is fine to delete them.

Don't think our team has discussed this one before, but will bring it up with the others!

Contact the Staff, yep.

Please make a Contact the Staff thread for this and one of us will get back to you.

Probably a bug that needs fixing or it’s intentional, but why am I not allowed to send the exact amount of TBT that I have in my sidebar (Or wherever it’s stored) when I am donating said amount?

You'll have somewhere between 799.5-799.9 bells. The amount in your side bar is rounded up.

Oh I see, why isn’t that part of the bells visible to the user?

Because people hate decimals, I guess?

I am trying to trade with someone and send them a dm but it says I cannot start a conversation with them. I invited Sasha to my island and was going to get him in boxes. I needed to message them to ask them for the payment and to let me know when they’re ready so I could put him in boxes.

Typically, if you receive an error message like that, it means their privacy settings won't allow other people to DM them. Your best bet is to either post on their profile if you're able to, or to respond to them in the thread this exchange began in.

is the discussion of homebrew/(non-malicious) hacking and alternative online play servers allowed?

I am not a moderator so I really hope I don't get in trouble for saying this or if this is considered "mini-modding"

The rules state that giving out information on how to hack is not allowed. Pretty sure people are allowed to mention things such as "I homebrewed my console" provided they do not mention anything about how they hacked it or whatever since I've seen this thread talking about it. I'm pretty sure that if the staff was chill with people talking about how to play on alternative online play servers then people would have been talking about it since the shutdown of Wii U and 3DS online but nobody is talking about it which makes me believe staff does not want us to discuss this.

You're not in any trouble and this is all correct! Mentioning hacking or that you've hacked your systems or games is fine, but any information beyond that should be kept to yourself, or at least not talked about publicly. We can't police what people choose to share via private message.

Silly question, but what's the default word font name used in this forum? I just switch word fonts in the "Font Family" option and I wanted to go back to the default font. Thank you!

It's actually a bit of a complex answer, since it uses a system font stack for sans-serif, so it'll change depending on your OS! From briefly looking into it, here are the defaults for the more popular OSes:

• Windows: Segoe UI
• Mac/iOS: Helvetica Neue
• Ubuntu: Ubuntu
• Android: Roboto (new) or Droid Sans (old)
