[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Which skin do you use, Fuel? Similar thing happened to me, but I think it's just the skin I'm on.

 

[Fuelbi]

I use Ambicutor

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Yeah I think that's the reason. I don't use Ambigutor but yeah that happened to me too. I think Azua just switched something on the skin or something.

 

[Fuelbi]

****, this used to happen on Ambicutor and now it doesn't happen anymore >_>

Did this happen when Azua made that change to the skin that made it less annoying? (I can't remember what exactly it was that she changed, but I DO remember that it was annoying as hell)

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I don't know. But on my skin, it used to not display postbits, and then when it started to display them, the box was unchecked as well. I think Azua or someone else just overhauled some of the special skins.

 

[Fuelbi]

Oh


(and yeah that was the thing that was so annoying about Ambicutor, the fact that it didn't display postbits >_>)

 

[ndayday]

Ok, well yeah that makes sense.
Ambigutor used to be that there were no postbit icons and that the Quick Reply signature was always checked, like Solid said.

That's fixed now, so it naturally won't autocheck on Quick Reply any more.
ANSWER. COMPLETE.

Also Solid, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to answer questions? You definitely helped (I probably wouldn't have thought to ask about the skin, herp), but just stay out of trouble, ya hear!?

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Sorry Mr. Nday, just trying to help out

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Some of the techno mumbo went over my head, but does that mean that there wont be a fix to make it autocheck? i use smash blue skin, never used Ambicutor (except once a day or two ago, but the autocheck disappeared before that).

 

[ndayday]

I could try asking my superiors.

edit: I seem to recall that back when Quick Reply was auto-checked, people would post short messages with a sig, which would violate a rule. Infractions everywhere. Happened so much, the staff decided to implement a system where if a post was shorter than the sig, the sig wouldn't show.

Since then, they may have just removed the auto-check altogether...but I'll summon the gods of clarification.

 

[Fuelbi]

So if Nday is now IBWC, why doesn't he appear in the bottom of this forum where all the mods and other IBWC members are?

 

[Frown]

Because he's not a forum leader yet.

 

[Zatchiel]

Now that Azua resigned her Administrative title (we will all miss her ban hammer status ), who's in charge of Premium?

Also, i've noticed the number of Administrators decreasing somewhat around this time, any explanations?

 

[Frown]

Virgilijus is now responsible for Premium requests.

Administrators are allowed to resign whenever they want. Two of them happened to do so at the same time.

 

[Mic_128]

i see.

she never said goodbye ;-;

Someone didn't read her thread in the Disco Room.

Also, i've noticed the number of Administrators decreasing somewhat around this time, any explanations?

Life.

I'm sure it doesn't help that both CK and Azua are engaged. (Not too each other)

 

[arch knight]

Someone didn't read her thread in the Disco Room.

i meant a personal goodbye ._.

 

[flaco]

there should be a explanation for the groups and how could you get access to become member of that group because the only thing you could do is request for it but it does not tell what to do to get approved when you apply for it

 

[DtJ Jungle]

We're currently working on an FAQ that will answer frequently asked questions like that one (I guess that's why it's called an FAQ huh?). But yeah, something along those lines is coming.

 

[Lythium]

See that User Guide sticky? Yeah.

http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=8799371&postcount=3

Probably needs to be updated, but all the relevant info is there.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Oh yeah. we have that too. Too bad no one looks at it T_T

 

[KAOSTAR]

why is create your own avatar listed as a bonus under premium membership?

can't everyone use a custom avatar?

 

[ndayday]

The page you're looking at is very outdated.

This is a more up to date "perks" list:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=244800

In addition to the things there, your profile picture can be up to 250x250, you get two more skins to choose from, and you can of course get the Ambigutor (

) postbit icon if you win Thread of the Month in the Disco Room.

 

[Fuelbi]

You gave us those new 150 poke icons didn't you?

 

[ndayday]

Xivii did, apparently.

 

[Masky]

..........

 

[ndayday]

Yes, Premium Members can still do both of those.

 

[Masky]

..........

 

[Mic_128]

You gave us those new 150 poke icons didn't you?

We actually had Pokemon 100->251 plus a couple of Gen 3 pokemon on the servers, just weren't added to the smileys list.

 

[KAOSTAR]

Is there a set order for the postbits. as in. If two ppl have the same ones will they be in the same order?

 

[Lythium]

Yes, there is a set order. Have a look at Mic's above you, and you'll get the idea.

 

[Elder Sister]

How has the Premium membership money been put back into the community? Have any specific tournaments received sponsorship?

I'll just quote Mic :D
"Tournament hosts can contact MLG_JV and apply for sponsorship for tournaments and receive some funding towards it. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but basically all the cash raised by premium membership goes back into the community, not the site."

Is there a set order for the postbits. as in. If two ppl have the same ones will they be in the same order?

well, somewhat along those lines

(main char e.g.

):master::grimer::brawl:

:scale::quill:remium::magnify:okeball::melee:

:workshop: :ibwc: :ten::dice::dice2::brush::droom: :notabullet:

EDIT: oh
ninja'd xD

 

[Fuelbi]

suggestion: temp debaters need a post bit icon imo

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Why? Then they could be like "hey I have an icon for applying to a group!" The debator one actually means something since you have to be accepted. Think of it as a reward.

 

[Frown]

suggestion: temp debaters need a post bit icon imo

No. The only place where people need to know that you're a temp debater is in the proving grounds.

 

[Brickbox]

I deleted a discussion from a social group I run(the discussion no longer has purpose) and I received 8 "unproved group messages" I don't know what they mean and I don't know how to get rid of them

 

[ndayday]

I know of someone that had that problem, no names (HEARTZ COUGH COUGH).

I think they just disappeared after a while. I'd try asking an admin.
Maybe Xiivi can help you.

[Lythium]

Or you could ask Heartz. I know she got them to go away eventually, but I don't remember how.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

I don't think she knew how either, they just sort of disappeared

 

[Zatchiel]

What postbit is this?

Edit: Also, a few more things:

What happened to the title of Smash Elitist?

Was the Reputation Point counter really disabled because of whining?

Where can i compete in a WWYP contest?

 

[Frown]

What postbit is this?

A forum leader. It's a person with a few certain mod powers.

Edit: Also, a few more things:

Yeah.

What happened to the title of Smash Elitist?

The title has just changed names. The elitists are nowadays more commonly known as Smash Backroom.

Was the Reputation Point counter really disabled because of whining?

From what I've heard, it was disabled because in the end, it didn't show reputation but rather who could get people to agree the most with their posts.

Where can i compete in a WWYP contest?

In the Write with your power subforum.
