Q&A Smashboards Questions Thread. Ask site-related questions here. (Staff answers preferred)

[Azua]

You'd think so, but you'd be wrong.

SBR people getting what they should have gotten in the beginning is not a major update.

Randomly changing titles of nearly 100,000 people is a bit of a bigger update, don't you think?

 

[thegreatkazoo]

I have a question which is intended for the brass of the Meet & Greet (viz Mini Mic & Killjoy).

Are all users allowed the creation of one Thread in the Meet & Greet (which serves to introduce themselves) regardless to the amount of time they have been on the site and/or post count?

E.g. X is a person who is a Smash Lord & has been on the boards for 2 years and then decides today to post an intro thread. Is that permissible?

Thanks.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I did that and no one said anything. I had never posted a thread there, and I did when I had like 2,000 posts.

 

[flaco]

I will need to stress these again for the 3third time is there anyway you guys could install a chatbox

 

[Fuelbi]

Ummmm I have a question and I dont know where else to ask. How do you hide a link within a sentence? Im advertising a social group and I need to hide the link in the sentence

I'm really gonna have to ask people who aren't Killjoy, Mini_Mic, and any other brass to take the liberty of not answering this question.

K thx bye.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Jungle just answered a question above, I don't see you calling him out.

 

[thegreatkazoo]

Oh are you fracking serious?!?! Did you not read my question?

[Azua]

Solid was right.

flaco, if you've asked it three times and we've answered you, why ask again? MLG tech would probably have to do it if you wanted it integrated into SWF via skin or whatever. Just use the Xat chats people have.

 

[TigerWoods]

Is there a way to message everyone in a social group?

 

[Azua]

Not an efficient way, no.

What's the difference between being Banned, Permanently Banned, and Super Banned?

 

[victra♥]

Being banned(6 points) means that you're account will be available again after the 6 (or more) points have expired.

Super banned and Permanently banned are the same thing I think. I'm not too sure.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Victra, when you get banned (6 points) your account is available whenever you go below 6 points, not when all 6 or more expire.

 

[victra♥]

err. I think I worded it wrong. I mean like, the 6th point or more expire. I can see why my post would be confusing ><

I'm the best mod ever.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Oh I see what you meant. When I first read it I thought you meant all six or more expire. My bad :]

 

[Azua]

Super Banned users cannot read the site, afaik.

6 pointers can still go to forum disputes and whatnot.

What do I have to do to qualfy for a blue username?

 

[:mad:]

What do I have to do to qualfy for a blue username?

Tournament directors. Set one up and you'll get a blue name.

 

[CRASHiC]

I directed a 40 (maybe 39, I don't remember) tournament (that was Metaknight banned) and I never got a blue name, any reason why? There was a tournament result thread and everything. It was called Pride of Brawl.

I'd like it if we could see others infractions. I have a friend who is banned, and would like to know when he'll be unbanned.

 

[:mad:]

You have to apply for it.

User CP -> Group Memberships

Be sure to give a link to your thread.

He can see his own infractions. Why don't you ask him about it?

 

[:mad:]

He can't really contact his friend if the guy is banned.

 

[Azua]

do people just not talk outside of swf or what?

 

[Osco316]

are you trying to say that there are ways to communicate with people outside of smashboards????????????????

 

[Neo Exdeath]

How do you hide a youtube link? For example, here's what I mean:
User 1: Do you know any good music?
User 2: Try this. (This is what I mean. Usually, where "Try this" is, it's a link to a youtube video, while still saying "Try this").

[KAOSTAR]

I think its called that youtube

 

[KrazyGlue]

Is there any way to know whether you recieved an infraction other then getting banned?

I know if you get 6 points (or super banned), you get a special title, but what if you just get one point or something? Not that I think I have any infractions; as far as I know I've never gotten any. This question just kinda popped up in my head.

 

[thegreatkazoo]

Just head to your User CP and you can see everything from there.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

What kazoo said, there's also a tab on your profile, but that's only if you have infractions iirc.

And you get PM'ed when you get one, so they don't just pop up randomly.

 

[uhmuzing]

I don't know if this is the exact right place to post this, but all of a sudden I'm stuck on the Revo skin and I can't find the option to switch skins. I used to use the Smash Blue skin.

 

[Cia]

^ I came in here to ask the same question. I hope we can get that forum skin back. It was the best.

:subscribes:

 

[DemonFart]

So the skins are back...with ads. Classic Blue is still missing however.

 

[Azua]

there's your answer

 

[KrazyGlue]

If you make your avatar an image that is larger than 100x100, does the image get auto-resized?

 

[Azua]

it should

 

[victra♥]

What are your thoughts on having photo albums in groups and user pages usable not only for just smash screenshots, but for jpegs and the like?

Has there been discussion towards this idea? It seems as though photo albums are nearly useless in groups since nearly no one really uses them for the sake of smash screenshots.

 

[Frown]

If so, wouldn't all pictures need to be moderated?
