how to delete your account of smashboards?

You can ask an admin to ban your account. That's pretty much the only way of "deleting" your account.

 

[vVv Rapture]

I added an avatar, twice, and neither of them appear on the forums. In my User CP, they show up, but when I go into the forum, they don't. How does I fix this?

 

[KAOSTAR]

Did you add an avatar? or a profile picture? both options are available.

Make sure that you select "Use Custom Avatar" at the bottom. Don't select the option that says "Do not use avatar" which happens to be right next to the avatar... Also, don't forget to save your changes.

Is there a way to make social group memberships private?

http://www.smashboards.com/profile.php?do=doprivacy

At the bottom, it says group memberships, but Im guessing this is to do with the 'Group Memberships' to the left, which is the BBR/TO/Writer etc memberships, not for social groups.

 

[Frown]

Go to the index of the group you want to be private, click "Edit group" at the bottom, and set Group Type to "Invite Only".

 

[Browny]

Oops, I wasn't clear with what I meant, sorry I meant such that people cant see what social groups you are in (like visitor messages). I think I found it though.

 

[MLRX]

wheere should i ask a question about brawl hacking?

 

[Frown]

Discussing hacking itself is not allowed on these forums, but there are many guides online. Just Google it.

As for questions regarding customized Brawl content, check this out: http://www.smashboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=232

 

[Jonkku]

Isn't "customized content" technically just an euphemism to "hacking"?

 

[Lythium]

More or less, but discussion about hacking your Wii and codes and whatnot is not permitted on SWF.

 

[Frown]

Actually, codes ARE permitted. It's just about the process of getting a modded Wii.

For example, I'm not allowed to guide a person and help him get Homebrew channel, but on the other hand, I'm allowed to share textures, models and customized data.

If this sounds confusing, ask some of the guys in the Workshop. They know everything about this.

 

[Lythium]

Thanks for the clarification, Frown. :3

 

[AvaricePanda]

How do I get my name changed?

Sorry if this has been asked.

Some postcounts dropped by a bit.
Where was postcount disabled? Assuming that's the case of course.

Posts from the Disco Room have now disabled, it's the only room that has recently disabled posts.

Ah that was my guess.

Alright thanks buddy.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Post count wasnt disabled in the Disco Room. The room had all its old threads moved into an archive and some threads were deleted, wghich would cause posts to go away.

Where do I go to get/ play supersmash bros online?

Where do I go to get/ play supersmash bros online?

To play SSB online, you will need to download an emulator. We're not allowed to direct you to one on Smashboards, but you can easily find it by just using Google.

 

[Scabe]

What does "Automatically parse links in text" do?

 

[Frown]

It makes it so that you can click links without copying them.

If you leave it on, links appear like this:

I have seen people with a custom little message under their name when posting. How do i get a custom title?

 

[Zatchiel]

Purchase Premium.

 

[Azua]

Uhhh posts still count in the DR. The archive is the place with no post count.

 

[Zatchiel]

Not sure where to post this, but when was SWF created and by whom?

 

[arch knight]

In the fires of Mount Dooms Basement, the boards were forged with left over data files and fragments. Its creator was so appalled and sickened they jumped into the very pit the boards were created never to be seen again...

 

[Frown]

Not sure where to post this, but when was SWF created and by whom?

Smash World was created by Gideon in June 1999, shortly after the release of the original SSB. In August 2000, the current forum was created, which means that we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary next month.

edit: here he is!

Okay, I found this thread. Good.

WHY DOES THIS SITE KEEP LOGGING ME OUT WHEN I AM ON MY Wii?

Thank you for answering my question, if possible. A few more details is that I do click the "Remember Me" box, but this site keeps logging me off when I'm on my Wii (which, to date, is practically every post I made)

I tried this out myself, and it looks as if the Wii will erase all Cookies after you turn the internet channel off, simply because the available storage memory of the Wii is pretty much nonexistent (66 Mb).

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to fix this.

 

[Nintenden]

Yes, but why does it log me off at entirely random times when on other sites I am memorized for several weeks? (Like any other normal Wii- and I thought it had 512MB NAND memory, sans the downloaded channels)

If it doesn't bother you, I would like to know what sites those are.

As for the memory: Yes, it has 512 Mb of memory, but the internet channel only has access to 66 Mb.

 

[Zatchiel]

That never happens to me since i also hit Remember Me.
