Do saved comment drafts automatically disappear after a day or two? I sometimes write my RTC comments a day beforehand and have noticed that my comments sometimes just vanish.

They're stored for 24 hours I believe. It's meant to save progress in case of a browser crash or internet/power outage, not for actual drafting

How do I change the character behind my posts from Sm4sh Falco to Smash Ultimate Wolf? I already have Wolf set up as my Ultimate main but 4 Falco is still behind my posts.

I have a question regarding emotes, specifically one in particular. Is anything going to be done about the Smash Ultimate Robin emote?

I couldn't help but notice while making a reply to another thread that something was off about the Robin Emote. It is missing the ":" at the end of "ultrobin" for some reason. I'm assuming this wasn't intentional, but I don't know if it was even noticed yet. When this is typed into text outside of code the output is not what its supposed to be. I used Corrin as the example of how other emotes react to the presense and the lack of presense of the colon at the end.

1. :ultrobin:
2. :ultrobin
3. :ultcorrin:
4. :ultcorrin

1.
2. :ultrobin
3.
4. :ultcorrin

I just wanted to point this out because it is a bug on Smashboards and I wanted to know if there were plans to fix it.

Thanks for the heads up. Should be fixed now.

hey just a quick question, how exactly can I post an image on a post?? I know you can do it but I don't get the https.... thing?

Click on the insert image button on the text box toolbar. You can either drag an image there or paste the link. To get the image link, right click on the image and select "copy image address", then paste the url.

I'm back here again... Just wantd to know were everyone gets the cool custom smash character icons from?

 

[Koopaul]

So I just realized something and I feel silly for it. But I noticed that the sections of the Smashboards have an unusual order in which they are organized.

It thought they'd be organized in chronological order with the oldest game at the bottom. But instead we have (from bottom to top) Brawl, Smash 64, Melee, Project M, Wii U/3DS, Ulitmate.

It's almost in order but Brawl was shifted to the bottom. I'm sure this has been answered before but is there a reason for this?

*How do I add images to posts*? Everyone else does it just fine and it's probably asked often but I tried to look for somewhere where it's explained everywhere but couldn't find anything. It says to add an http but does that mean that I need to upload my image somewhere else first?

You need to go to the image and copy the image adress

I did but it didn't work, and I don't know which images are fair game, because the best ones I found were all from articles

If dragging it to the dropbox or using the link option doesn't work, it is likely an incompatible image. You can try uploading it to an image hosting website or doing a screen capture/crop job and saving it to your device. From there you can upload the file.

 

[Eremitaviola]

I wanted to add this to my create a spirit thread but the dropbox only appears here while it just asks me an http anywhere else. I found an image on reddit that might work but I don't think I can link to a reddit image. I guess I'll subscribe to an image sharing site

<--- I don't know about you, but I seem unable to post an image under my account, can you see it to side? Do you know what's causing this?

If you are referring to your avatar, yes I can see it.

How exactly can you post stuff at the bottom of every message that you post? I see some ppl post their lists mains and secondaries at the bottom of their messages, however, I can't seem to figure out how to access that feature

Never mind. I just figured out how on my own

What's the rules on abandoning an account and making a new one?


Technically it's against the rules but I've seen at least one mod say it should be alright provided one abandons the old account, doesn't use the new account to sockpuppet, and doesn't use the new account to evade a ban/infraction/block ( Thread here )

It would be best to make a formal request in Forum Support.

can someone teach me the ins and outs of smashboards?

Try looking at the user guide and FAQ threads:
https://smashboards.com/threads/the-smashboards-user-guide-v3-0.352997/
https://smashboards.com/threads/the-smashboards-faq.353000/

Those have most of the information you'll probably want to know for getting started.

 

[PF9]

This started recently, but a lot of users no longer have their signatures show up in new posts in certain sections, me included.

What's up with that?

It only shows once per page. If it is not even showing once, please link me to an example.

 

[PF9]

So the signature only shows up once in each page? Is that a way to cut down on something?

Yes.

Cuts back on page clutter and load times.

I have a question, so I am in this crew server chat but the rules say that we cannot post links of websites and stuff. Am I allowed to post discord links? and if so, where can I post them?

We do not allow advertising threads. You can put it in your signature or your profile.

You cannot upload images saved to your computer. You must upload it first to an image sharing site then link it to your signature.

I know, I tried it with imgur and another site, and both times it didn't accept the image link

Give me the imgur bbcode and I'll see if I can do it for you.
