How do I know if a PM has been successfully reported?

How do I know if a PM has been successfully reported?

I think the only way to know is if the person who dealt with the report chooses to send you an alert saying it was dealt with.

If not then... I dunno, just bug some mods or something about it until it gets dealt with. :p
(serious response: you can probably go to Forum Support and inquire there, if you have concerns that it hasn't been resolved properly)

Are you allowed to post an AMA as your introduction thread? I've done it on other game forums I was new to (e.g. "I've never played a MOBA before, AMA") but I just wanted to make sure it was allowed here.

It shouldn't be an issue.

I didn't initially realize this when I was making a thread for Competitive Ultimate forums, but it finally hit me when I thought, "Oh I forgot I should make a table to display my data better for others users who don't want to click spoiler tabs that hide them out of space saved from a long OP."

Apparently, I. Can't? When did Smashboards remove the ability to generate a table?

EDIT: I guess apparently it's still possible. But the bb coding requires " [ table=head ] XYZ [ /table ]". I had to go back to one of my old Shulk threads that had tables in it to figure that out since it's been so long.

Is there any way to get 1 month of premium without paying real world cash? Mainly asking because I want to change my name on this site.

I mean, you need money to buy premium....

I meant like if its possible to get premium as a gift from someone else (or somehow get a name change by any other means).

Gifting used to be something we could do before the site upgrade to Xenforo 2. Unfortunately, gifting was lost in the update.

How do you delete a forum thread? Because I made a huge mistake on one I've made and I want to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

 

[NWESports]

How do I remove or change the date of an event? I have a tournament that I run but want to swap the dates around. Is that possible with the current system? Thanks!

You need to get a Wii u this is the only really competitive version but now you'd better get a switch

How do I create a thread I'm confused

Go to the related forum, and at the top of the forum list there should be a button that says “create thread”. Click that and go from there.

Super super late reply, but out of curiosity, was that a plug-in for Xenforo? If so, would it be possible to rewrite it if given the time?
Not that I'm asking anyone to or anything.

It was a plug-in, yes, one of like a dozen pre-update plug-ins which currently aren't compatible with XenForo v2. I'm not familiar with the plug-in in question so I don't know how much work would be needed to fix it, but in theory it should be possible, yeah.

 

[Zatchiel]

Whatever happened to the mentorship program? I remembered it being a thing back in the Brawl days but it just sorta vanished and I never really know what came up.

Not sure if this is the correct place for me to ask but:

We have several helpful threads in the Ultimate Kirby forum area. I was was hoping a mod could help me pin them for easy reference? Here they are:

On forums where signatures aren't allowed, how do I disable my sig?

Some people have already told me that it's fine to leave it in most of the time, but I just want to make sure that I at least know how to disable it just in case. I don't know if the option to disable sigs was removed in a previous update. . . .​

Sigs only appear once per page. Sigs can be disabled via account preferences page.

Okay since nobody reciprocated my request, new question:

How could I contact a moderator?

Everything pinned and given proper prefixes.

Oh thank you so much!!!

Just one thing: The Tournament Data thread isn’t really a WIP. I just update it periodically. The Data tag would be fine for it.

Hello. Could I make a thread for Kirby hats akin to the stock icon submission thread or the series icon submission thread? People share Kirby hats they made or share others as long as they have permission. As far as I can see one doesn’t exist yet and I am pretty new to smashboards so if I am allowed help would be much appreciated

I'm not quite understanding....

Is this an art thing or something else?

https://smashboards.com/threads/newcomer-stock-icons.455706/ something like this but with Kirby hats. Art basically. I’m no good at art but other people can show their ideas. If you have to be good at art I apologise in advance for wasting anyone’s time

Sorry for the late reply, as long as it is art oriented, then it has a place in the Arts and Entertainment Forums.

What’s the purpose of the green triangle shady thing at the top of profile pics for?
And why do some people have that as opposed to others who don’t ?

It indicates that that user is currently online. If it's not there, the user is either offline or has their online status hidden.
