The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

A minor OCD annoyance I just noticed on the mobile version. It seems like the site is not zoomed out fully by default (the screen moves left and right when swiping up or down). Seems like it just started happening as of late; it was fine a few days ago. Not sure if that’s an easy fix or what, but I wanted to bring it up because I don’t wanna zoom it out myself on every page.

What browser are you using? I'm not experiencing this issue on my phone.

I’m using Safari on the latest iOS. If I do the swipe just right, it doesn’t happen. It’s when I swipe up or down fast that it starts moving all over until I pinch to zoom out. It basically resets itself on every page.

How do you make it so that text with links is a different color instead of it automatically changing to brown? I may have done it a few times without thinking before but I can never seem to grasp how I can purposefully pull it off.

Is there a limit on how many times we can earn tbt from posting in our island journal? I just made a new entry and noticed that I didn’t get any bells even though I did include text. I’ve noticed that when I add to existing posts more text, I don’t earn more either.

Hi! I’m -10 tbt and I have no idea why. I edited a post in my island journal but I added more text and changed out an image; plus, I shouldn’t be losing be losing bells editing my island journal. I think that was fixed a couple years ago. I looked at my transactions and I didn’t see anything that I did to lose bells.

So when will the 20th anniversary banner be taken down?

Does the reason we still have these profile field options have something to do with the forum's current software engine? (if that is the correct term) and cannot be removed because of it?
Because it is psychically impossible to visit New Leaf dream addresses now and I believe Nintendo has erased all of them from their servers so I'm confused why we can still display our dream addresses to other people if there's not really a point.

I don't really know what a Nintendo Network ID is but I think it had something to do with Wii U online and if so then it also seems useless to display it now, and finally adding friends to your 3DS also seems kind of pointless with the shutdown of 3DS and Wii U online.

It's just the staff seems to dislike cluttered profile displays so I'm confused why they would still want to keep useless fields. Not trying to be rude it's just a genuine question.

We just haven't updated profile fields in a few years.
