There probably isn't, but is there a quick spoiler button, kind of like the Link button? It's kind of bothersome to constantly type the code and I feel as if it's been in front of me this whole time.

No, there isn't. For the anyone unsure how to, you can put [ spoiler ] your comment [ / spoiler ] to make a spoiler

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but anyway

I'm getting an error using the Flash attachment uploader (same as this). It uploads 100%, then gives me the error message, so it's possibly some sort of permissions error. I looked around and found this on the Xenforo support forum, maybe it can help the site admin(s) fix the problem. For now switching off the Flash uploader works fine.

Using Firefox 33.1 on Windows 8.1. Flash player is up to date. It is specific to Smashboards though, I've tested on another Xenforo site and it works fine.

edit: it works on Chrome, funnily enough.

Thank you.

@ Warchamp7 , any idea on what is causing this?

How big is the file?

If it's only broken in Firefox, well...

Firefox has been having a few issues lately afaik

I tried a ~800 KB GIF, and a 4 MB ZIP, and both failed.

From what I've tested so far, it only breaks here in Firefox.

Go to your Poll and look for an "Edit" option. It should be in the right hand corner of the poll next to the title. When you go to edit, you can change the question, add another option, and edit the time for your poll. However, if this Edit option does not appear for you, please PM me the link and I can go about editing for you if you wish.

Yeah, it's not there. The link is actually in my signature.

Also, there's something going on that when I collapse a sea of text in a spoiler tag, it creates two spoiler tags, one of them completely empty.

That is a formatting issue and usually do to including other formatting along with spoiler tags. I have seen it happened and dealt with them in my own threads. It takes a while to correct but its not impossible. Are these problems in your thread or just something you have come across?

PM me the details you want changed and I can look into it for you.

It's in my thread, and I'll look into it. I'll try to PM you within 24 hours, as I'm a bit busy at the moment.

Does the site feature a Signature Picture feature where you upload a single picture and you can use that picture in your signature? I know that you can put pictures in your signature by linking them from a website, but can you upload a picture here to use?

 

[Moydow]

Another minor nitpick, but the countdown timer for the EU release on the main page is wrong. As of this post (23:20 GMT), it is 6 days, 0 hours and 40 minutes to the EU release, not 5 days, 5 hours and 40 minutes.

No, Smashboards does not utilize a Signature Picture uploader. If you wish to include a picture, you will need to upload a picture from an image hosting site.

Thank you for this.

Is it correct now?

100%. Thanks

I know that I've seen tables used in posts here, and I think I have a slight understanding, but...

Can a table be made without the "Column #" as the headers, and if so, how do I do it?

You can't eliminate the column #, but you can place your own headers below the first column by making your first row stand out, such as:

Fruits | Vegetables | Animals | Cartoon Characters
Orange | Carrot | Tiger | Garfield
Lime | Lettuce | Frog | Kermit
Blueberry | Eggplant | Peacock | Gonzo

And on the side as well:

Category/Color: | Fruits | Vegetables | Animals | Cartoon Characters Orange | Orange | Carrot | Tiger | Garfield
Green | Lime | Lettuce | Frog | Kermit
Blue | Blueberry | Eggplant | Peacock | Gonzo

Actually, you can.

Just use the following code:

[table=head][/table]

Look|At|Those|Headers
Blah|Blah|Blah|Blah

The code for the table above is:

[table=head]Look|At|Those|Headers
Blah|Blah|Blah|Blah[/table]

 

[CostLow]

[table=head][/table]

Look|At|Those|Headers

[table=head]Look|At|Those|Headers
Blah|Blah|Blah|Blah[/table]

This just totally made my day. Thank you.

Can someone help me find my sig? I have one (a license card), but it never displays under my posts.

 

[Moydow]

I'm seeing it just fine. Two possible explanations I can think of:
1. you have "display signatures" switched off in your account preferences;
2. you're looking at your second or later post on a page. Your signature only appears with your first post on each page of a thread.

Other than that, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

What happened to the delete button?

 

[Captain Justice]

I assume the answer is in here somewhere, but is there a list of available trophies and/or badge thingies?

Hi, welcome to SWF

Try checking the Australia section. You'll be able to meet other Aussie players here, as well as find tournaments close-by.

I'm relatively new to the boards, and something has been bothering me. When I first started my account, I turned off seeing other people's signatures, as they hurt my eyes and made it hard for me to focus. Recently, though, I've began to wonder whether this is a socially appropriate thing to do around here. Help, please?

There is nothing wrong with turning off signatures. Don't worry. I also turned them off, because of some obnoxious gifs people put in their signatures.

 

[Hayzie]

I haven't seen signatures in a while (only a week on record as I recall, probably longer). There's one premium member signature that always shows, and one regular member's signature that always shows. I don't see others, nor mine. Ever.

Never had this problem.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

What window size do you use to browse the forums. On mobile devices, the signatures are often removed as the forum often removed content the smaller your resolution is. If your browsing window is small, that might be removing larger signatures.

What browser plugins or add ons do you use?

I figured it out now. Something random happened I never intentionally wanted. Thanks and sorry. Now I remember, I blocked someone's signature which was huge in size, a gif or something that truly looked like Flash. Dragged the page and started freezing and took forever to load which made viewing the forum impossible. Guess I'll have to come across that someday again now.

 

[Nezha the Scout]

Hello, I'm Edel and I'm a member of the smash 3 team. I have a couple of questions involving our project on this webstite. I was directed here by recommendation of a mod after I asked the same question to him.

How can we request a custom banner like PM members and PMDT members have them?

Do have to be qualified for it? If so, what do we have to do to be qualified?

Thanks, Edel(Scout)

 

[ndayday]

Highly unlikely. Premium is first of all a banner you get for donating to the site, and PMDT is for members of the dev team of the most popular mod, so like a banner for the creators of a texture pack is kind of pushing it. examples of other banners: moderators, admins, back rooms.

I understand. Thanks for the quick answer.

Hello o/

I'm browsing Smashboards on an iPhone and I'm wondering if it is possible to view the full website as if it were on the computer instead of the mobile one?

Thanks!

The closest you can get is to turn the phone sideways and use it in landscape mode.

Hi, I'm wishing to change my forum name. It's currently Los4Muros. But I'd like it to be changed to Fr3DS. I made the account years ago, so that's the reason I'm stuck with my old name. Could somebody tell me how to change it? Or could a moderator change it for me?

Users are granted the ability to change their usernames with the purchase of any amount of Premium Membership. You are granted 2 name changes every 3 months, and may request it from @Virgilijus. It's really the only way, we don't typically change a person's name unless it breaks any rule or is overly offensive.

 

[RosalinaSGS]

Can someone please explain why many users have HBC before their name?

 

[LancerStaff]

Silly question, but is the create guide button under the guides section (dur) working at the moment? Because it's not on my current browser, any other browsers I have hate Smashboards for some reason...

How do you leave a Social Group? I've seen people leave and come back to this places as members, but I've always assumed that once you accepted the invitation, you would become a permanent member.

I'd like to know, because there are two social groups that I have absolutely no interest in going to anymore.

It'd be awesome if you guys made a smashboards app so id be faster to log on and be just more convenient. Thank you

 

[STiCKYBULL3TZ]

Is there an official crew or clan section of Smashboards? I saw a Group for it but it doesn't look to be very active.
