I'm just now getting into competitve brawl, but I don't know when the "season" starts or ends or what tournaments I can attend, I live in Indiana and would like to know if there is somewhere that holds tournaments for anyone to attend. I tried searching the forums for tournaments and answers for my questions, but I couldn't find anything. Thank you.

There generally is no kind of membership or anything. People host tournaments in different areas at different times. The rulesets, fees, and the like are mentioned in each thread. Illinois tournaments can be found in the Midwest Tournament Listings subforum--

How many PMs can the regular user hold? I ask because I just noticed premium was boosted to 2000.

 

[Gatlin]

Normal users can hold 500 PM's.

Aight so either I can't leave visitor messages or I'm just doing something wrong. When I'm on my own page I have the option to:

But when I go to someone else's profile:

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Theres an option in your personal settings that controls who can and can't post on your visitor wall. It is very common for people to have their setting so that only friends can post. Consider asking them to change their setting or asking for them to be your friend.

 

[Rainbow]

I can't post on my friend's walls either though.

 

[Gatlin]

I believe new users don't get the option to leave other users visitor messages until they have been on the site for a certain period of time.

 

[ndayday]

Gatlin is right. You are close to the required period of time.

 

[Rainbow]

Cool, thanks.

How come in the brawl characters forums that the diddy kong and marth boards have their own sub forum for video critiques while the others don't?

How come in the brawl characters forums that the diddy kong and marth boards have their own sub forum for video critiques while the others don't?

The idea is to give users the ability to embed Youtube videos only in certain parts on SWF. The reason that it only exists for a few characters is probably because they are more active than the rest. But expect to see more of these video forums in the future.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Here is a suggestion. How about setting up a method in which you can see if anyone is on the chat. It might get more usage that way.
Oh, that should have gone here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=299959

Xeylode I would just say bring that up in the SS. I've got them to put a link to it in the description of the SIC, but seriously who copies a link.

You may change your name by purchasing premium membership. It is very inexpensive ($4 for three months).

Thanks for answering, and correctly at that.

What happened to the emerald, ruby and sappihire forum skin?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

They are premium only. I'm using one right now

Is there an ETA on when all character boards will have them?

No .

 

[gothrax]

This is really starting to become a bother but does anyone KNOW HOW I CAN CHANGE THE NAME OF A THREAD THAT I MADE?

plus deleting threads would be helpful as well...

 

[Lythium]

Go to the original post.

Edit Post > Go Advanced > change your title > Save Changes.

edit: Oh, and you cannot delete your own threads, but you can ask the mod of whatever forum that it's in to lock it.

 

[Get Low]

How do I post a picture in a reply?

 

[Lythium]

Sandwich your image between these bad boys, like so:

Does the image have to be off of the internet though? Or can you also post a picture from your computer?

 

[Lythium]

Yes, it has to be a URL, however you can always use a image sharing site to host your images.

 

[gothrax]

Are there any team battle threads? or like character specific team battle threads?
or do peoples not discuss this??

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I would recommend sending a PM to Mekos.

There's a Doubles Critique thread he posted--

[Fortress | Sveet]

I have 3 people I am trying to get accepted into the MBR. Cactuar has already agreed, but the option to apply has been removed from the group membership page. He asked the admins to do this manually but that was over a week ago. I would like something done ASAP so we can finish creating the new tier list.

reposting here for attention.

I've already asked, now hopefully you get an answer. Let me know if you don't.

Can I Upload PNG images to my albums?
If So, What am I doing wrong?
Which Upload Picture Button Do I Press?
Whenever I try to Upload it it says That I didnt select any pictures to be uploaded.

 

[Jonkku]

Why do the signature rules section of the global rules not have anything about forbidding adding a signature to the post itself manually?

I'd say it should, but this is the question thread, not the suggestion one.

Albums don't work at all, unfortunately.

Because it was missed I guess. I'll suggest it then.

Where can I go to complain? I get infracted, well often, and I usually deserve it. But I'm kind of not happy with being infracted for saying "Shut up".

That'd be Forum Support.

[ndayday]

Also, you can usually PM the mod who infracted you and ask them why they did it. If you disagree after an explanation, and really feel the that you need to talk to an admin about the issue, then Forum Support would be after that.

 

[Shorts]

Actually, I have a new, weirder question. Where do I go to talk to someone about being mercy banned from a part of the formus? Is that possible? Or can you only be banned from the site as a whole? I really want to be banned from the SSB4 area that place is awful, but I can't help myself. Someone help me here?

 

[ndayday]

I can request it for you I guess, lol.
