Not that it matters, but I am interested, what is the limit on bells per day?

Also, when I edited my post, I found this glitch:

That’s not a glitch. The amount of bells you receive depends on the length of your post and the board it’s posted in. When you edit, you may delete or add things which can change the amount of bells you recieve. Therefore, when you save your post, it either keeps it the same or changes depending on what you delete from/add to your post.

Also, I don’t believe there is a limit on the amount of bells you can earn per day. The most bells I have ever received from a single post was 15, from the “What are you happy about today” thread. I’m assuming that’s the cap, and you can’t earn more than that. (I mean, aside from bell bonuses like Leif is doing right now.)

What bell bonuses is Leif Doing? I clicked on a link and it randomly gave me Forum Bells, so is that a bonus? Also what other bonuses are there, I did not understand the other ones.

Leif has a bell bonus right now which is helpful for this event, since it requires at least some currency to purchase the watering can and hybrids. It’s so more of us can participate.

You can earn additional bells by commenting on eligible boards and threads. You’ll get this notification when you earn the bonus:

Keep in mind it’s only for the duration of this event, however.

Thanks for telling me! I got that notification, but why does it have a question mark icon?

That’s where a profile picture would go for typical notifications, but since there’s no specific member involved, it defaults to a question mark.

It should default to Leif if it is a Leif bonus for example, or if it is a seashell bonus, it to show a seashell.

Also what is the purpose of Forum Bells anyway? Is it to participate in events that require an event item to be brought from the shop? Any other ideas on what it could be for?

 

[ILoveAnimalCrossing123]

How? I thought the limit was 20. Or did

Give points to himself for testing the seashells system?

The currency is often used for those little icons below your profile picture called collectibles. They’re very popular within the TBT community! You can use bells to purchase them, either from the shop or the marketplace.

Forum events don’t usually require bells to participate, but if they do, staff are usually kind enough to offer a little boost, such as the bell bonus they are offering for this particular event.

Additionally, you can use bells for things such as purchasing art or in-game items.

Sorry but, I was talking about the notifications not the collectibles, but thanks for telling me!

In the transactions list, when it says the amount sent or received, and it is one, it says 1 Bells when it’s meant to be 1 Bell, can you fix it?

It should default to Leif if it is a Leif bonus for example, or if it is a seashell bonus, it to show a seashell.

These bonuses are sent out by the system, not the individual accounts so it doesn't have the icon because it is not an account. Issuing from the individual accounts is using pre-existing tbt (forum currency), whereas I'm think this is putting out new currency into the market.

They're just to buy collectibles or username changes, or other functions available. You can read about the purpose here.

Jeremy has so many because when you buy something with seashells, they go to him since he is marked down as the creator of those items (user title colour change, username change, etc).

To be honest it's not that big of a deal, and I imagine changing it is more trouble than it's worth.

I have a quick question.

What does “This user's profile is not available” mean? I haven’t encountered it until recently. I know that “this person limits who can view their profile” likely means that it’s only for people they’re following, but how about the former?

Not a huge deal. I’m just curious.

I'm not staff but I always assumed it meant the user was banned or something

i’ve always wondered this - when i tap on the lighting icon in the top bar there’s a tab called “featured content” next to “what’s new.” what is that used for? i know that it’s self explanatory basically but i’ve never seen anything in it.

I’m uncertain if it has been (or will be) used, but staff have the option to feature threads in our thread options:

When selected, a menu then opens to select an image and text to feature. Imagine a news site that may display featured articles in a block-like style for easy access to certain articles. This would be similar!

I’ve not tried it and don’t want to break anything.

Tall order and I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that it's unknown or unknowable at this point, but would any Staff happen to have on record what time on November 30, 2013 that the Fair began and/or when the Feathers were added to the Shop during that event? I'm planning to get a Historic Scenery for a lineup I'm building and I was trying to leave myself as much wiggle room as possible in case I ever find other old 2013/2014 Feathers.

 

[Aerith]

it's possible that the staff created the thread 33 minutes prior, and only made it publicly visible just then.

I appreciate the response and this was smart thinking! However, it was a post from a user that had just commented and the thread has been active for longer than that.

I don't seem to be having that problem anymore, maybe it was something on my side if no one else has experienced the problem.

Is anyone else's TBT timing incredibly off? This was literally just posted but it says 33 minutes ago not sure how to fix if it's on my end

I'm not sure how that would have happened, sorry

The oldest feathers are from December 1st, 2013! So you had the right timing already, basically.

 

[Bruscoe]

The site seems to be running slower than usual. Trying to adjust my lineup took way longer than it should. Anyone else experiencing slower-than-usual load times? I'm getting usual speeds on other sites, so it's definitely not on my end.
