When this is happening to you, it's most likely happening to everyone else as well. It's a server error that most of us can't do much about.

ok thanks. but do u have any tips about my other problem? (whenever i open up smashboards on my dad's computer, it wont load past the user blogs section.)

Sounds to me like you're having connection problems. If your internet connection is generally bad on your dad's computer, that's probably the cause.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

huh alright. the internet connection itself is fast, but as for the actual connectivity, ill have to check on that. thanks frown!

 

[OmegaXXII]

Yeah, we're aware of it (Getting them too) Not quite sure what's causing it but Bionic's poking around to find out.

Glad to hear that, it seems the problem is constantly showing up more.

 

[eschemat]

For some reason, whenever I access like a general subforum which shows the threads, it doesn't work and says it's a bad gateway. help?

I guess I can ask here:

Is it possible to make a slight change in username? I'd really like to remove one of the i's in my username, thus making my username "Widl" and not "Wiidl". I do think Widl is available, and it's my nametag and username pretty much everywhere.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

A name change is a name change, even if it's just a small one. Sorry yo.

I noticed a bug...

When I entered my livestream into the tournament calendar so it would show up in todays livestreams, for some reason it displays the time to be 4 hours earlier than I inputted in the tournament calendar. For example, I am streaming from 7-11 but it shows up as 3-7, and I did not choose the wrong time zone. This was not a problem just a couple months ago when I used the calendar.

In order to workaround I picked a time zone 4 hours behind mine, and it should show up properly now.

I just alerted Bionic, but IDK how busy he is. Please fix!! =DDD

Why has my post count stayed at one?

I joined last summer, but only recently became an active, posting member of this community. I have something around a dozen posts in the last couple of days, but it stays at 1. I searched "posts" in the FAQ with no mention of post count updating, what might the issue be?

 

[Zankoku]

Certain sections of the boards (like social forums of regional zones and forum games) do not contribute to post count, due to the nature of post content and frequency of posts there.

edit2: User Blogs, Forum Games, Regional Zones, and the Info Center, to be precise.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Regional Social Zones :3c

How do we get a tournament livestream up on the "Today's Live Streams" box? We're gonna have a very active stream for the Brawl in Berlin 2 tournament (we're doing pools at the moment, it's a fairly large european international) going on today, and I have no idea who to talk to about it.

Add your tournament to the tournament calendar if your havent already. Then at the bottom of the page that lets you edit/add details, there is a place for a livestream link. Add it there. The problem is that the time is desynced, so you may have to manually adjust that to be -4 hours of when it really is.

Hey I recently joined this site, though I've been visiting to get better at the game. What's the fastest way to get friend codes to play people online with?

 

[Gatlin]

That would be the Smashboards Arena. Just request you are looking to Brawl and you should get some responses shortly. Also good job finding out how to add your FC to your postbit.

 

[Lmessi24]

Thanks, also is there something that indicates when someone replied to your post. I have a tendency of opening tabs and forgetting what I was doing, or exploring other parts of the site.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

you could subscribe to the threads. Thats how i found this post of yours

 

[Lmessi24]

Aight thanks, and I'm guessing you have to refresh to see new posts.

 

[Fuelbi]

So how do you make it so your avatar shows up as transparent? I turned mine transparent and I upload it to an image hosting site and it is still transparent, but then when I upload it here it has a white background

 

[Lythium]

Make it the size you want it to be, so that it doesn't get resized.

So, if you want your avatar to be 100x100, make it that size. If your image is, say 150x150, when it gets resized, the transparency disappears.

 

[Foxhound_Joshua]

ok... so, my email was hacked recently. the hacker changed the password AND email address to my old account. is there anything i can do at all to get my old account or am i SOL? the username was "Big Boss" plain, without the quotation marks.

Does anyone remember the total amount of stickers there are in brawl? I'm trying to complete the challenge.

Also, a number of trophies would be appreciated

Could someone please help me learn how to get around on this site? (If it's ok, I'd like someone to actually message me or something, but I will settle for an answer on this forum)

The descriptions of the forums on the main page will probably help you out. Are you looking for anything specific?

 

[Death Arcana]

[Le vieux lapin]

Is there any way I can change my username?

 

[Frown]

Yes, but for that you have to buy a Premium membership which is currently not available. There will be an announcement when it gets fixed.

 

[Mr Wizzrobe]

Why, may I ask, is the Premium membership currently not available? Do you have a guesstimate as to when they will be back?

Also, and this is purely out of curiosity, is there a thread which lists the reasons for all of the name colors, as well as the icons below the avatar? (for example, yours is green.)
