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

[Lythium]

Not Frown, but you are correct. There will be an FAQ/Guide that Heartz wrote in the User Q&A.

 

[Mic_128]

Cool; would it go in Meet & Greet or Pool Room?

Probably the pool room.

 

[Jonkku]

I was reading the FAQ/Rules thread and noticed that atleast the Usergroups and Usertitles parts were out of date.

Just thought I'd note it.

Spoiler

P.S. In order for this post not to be completely off-topic, take it as a suggestion to update the info

Edit: Also the Premium Membership info is outdated.

 

[Mic_128]

Thanks for the heads up Fin, I'll work on updating that later today

 

[Mikeomak]

Where can I buy shoes?

 

[Mic_128]

Not the thread for it.

 

[victra♥]

hey, so, since when could we use gifs for avatars?

 

[Frown]

What? We can? If so, that's the worst change since SWF was taken over by no I didn't mean to say that

As said when you go to upload a custom avatar it says "No Animated gifs" Don't use them.

Hi, I was wondering if the staff here at SWF have ever considered creating a Twitter account? This way, you could update everyone on what's going on with the site, what to expect in the future etc.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Im sure they would if anything ever happened

That's what Announcements are for. Stuff has been happening at a snail's pace since MLG has taken over, I don't think Twitter would really be necessary.

Can somebody explain how to play this "mafia" game going on in Forum Games? I don't get it and there's nowhere to ask in there.

 

[Lythium]

These should give you a bit of an idea. If you still have questions, you could probably PM or VM one of the leaders of the games. They would know all the nuances and intricacies of the game.

I have a question for Smashboards, if I made a thread to talk about women, could you handle yourself? Could you all NOT post pictures and talk about things that will either get you banned/the thread locked, or both?

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

CRASHiC, I feel like most people would be able to handle it, but then a few people would come in and ruin it. It only takes one person to get a thread locked. But I don't know, if you want to make it then why not go for it?

 

[Mic_128]

Define "about women"

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I think he meant like what we would look for / relationships.

See some of his posts in the PokeCenter for example. Our responses were "normal" or whatever you wanna call it.

The majority would behave, but I have a feeling the thread would end up being locked after some form of Sammich/Kitchen jokes.

Hahaha I read that as

hey, so, since when could we use girls for avatars?

 

[Xivii]

Every time I attempt to upload a profile pic it says "unable to upload". It's been doing this for a few days. Any solution?

Edit: Fix this ****

For some reason whenever I try changing skins under options it doesn't change at all when I click save. And when I change it by scrolling down to the bottom of the page it changes, but then if I click a thread/post/whatever, it changes back to the skin I previously had.

This happens to me when I sign out. Not sure what caused it, but it might be the addition of the mobile skin. Who knows? Probably an admin. Yeah.

 

[victra♥]

Can there be an easier way to manage friend requests? Something like a simple accept/ignore option right from the user cp or something. lol.

I should also note that I'm not able to log out for some reason.

I have to click the Log Out button twice. Did you try that?

 

[Airgemini]

Yes .

 

[Kantō]

i dont think a lot of people on these boards could handle that. plus there are a lot of girls on this site too.

 

[BSP]

What exactly is the Back Room?

 

[D20]

Really? I find the people on these boards to be far more civil and understanding the majority of online communities. Although this is probably because many of us know each other in real life or could potentially meet each other at live tournaments and such.

 

[Frown]

What exactly is the Back Room?

The back room you have heard of might be one of the following:

The back room
A private forum for SWF veterans and handpicked members. Very few people can get in here, and those who do get a little grimer icon in their postbit.

The Brawl/Melee backroom
A private forum for people experienced with tournament play. These guys discuss tier lists and official rulesets to be used in competitive play.

Please not that people who TRY to get into these two rooms usually don't. You simply have to be lucky and wait for your chance.

The Premium backroom
A private forum for people who donated to the site. The room has pretty much no moderation, and it's more of a forum with endless social threads than a forum with actual topics.

oh god frown, not you too T_T

are we ever gonna get a vBulletin update?

MLG needs to fix that I believe.

What browser are you using?

User CP -> Friends and Contacts ?

I should also note that I'm not able to log out for some reason.

Tried deleting your cookies?

oh god frown, not you too T_T

Maybe.

 

[Airgemini]

Oh, it's just Firefox that makes everything a problem. ON IE it works fine so it's all good now.

 

[KrazyGlue]

What's happening to all the mods?

I've seen Matt, Eor, and Umbreon all get super banned relatively recently. Is there some particular issue going on, or are these all just individual occurrences? (Sorry if it's none of my business.)



EDIT: @Exn: I've had the same problem before. For me, I just logged out, then logged back in and tried again and it worked.

 

[Mic_128]

Individual occurances. Umb and Matt requested their bans.

 

[KAOSTAR]

just curious as well. also sorry if Im out of line.

but I have seen a few ppl request to be banned. why would they do that?

 

[DtJ Jungle]

So they aren't distracted by this place, I assume

I'm sure they have their own personal reasons

 

[Teran]

they have their own personal reasons

Pretty much this.
