What exactly is the BBR Ruleset Committee?

 

[Luco]

The forums are so big, it can be really hard to find things... Apart from search(I easily forget names of threads and where i've posted things), is there an easier way to browse the forums, particularly in places you've posted to see if you got a reply?

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Subscrib to the thread, you can do tha by going to forum tools when you're in a thread. After that those threads will b in your ser cp for subscriptions


Ange the BBR ruleset committee exists to attempt to create a ruleset that is mandatory for brawl tournaments

Fixed.

Also you can set it so that you automatically subscribe to threads after you post in them by going to your User CP > Edit Options > Change the "Default Thread Subscription Mode" from "Do not subscribe" to any of the other options. Then you can just check your user CP for updates on new posts in threads you post in from then on.

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this, but a friend once told me something about a new super smash bros. coming out at one point in the future. Is there a new one coming out sometime in the next few years? If so, is there any information as to what it might be like? Soryy if i'm saying something i shouldn't, just wondering.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

As far as I know, there are no plans fir a new smash game

Kind of. Article can say it better than I can, so.

It says that he has thoughts on another, yet in the article he pretty much says the opposite. I'm quite confused now :-P

You can also click on your profile and click 'find more posts by this user' and that'll take you to all your posts in order of time, so you can flip through there as well.

 

[WeretigerX]

Is it possible for an admin to change my username upon request?

 

[Xivii]

You can change your user name by purchasing premium membership.

 

[WeretigerX]

Oh, I see. Thanks.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Whats the rules on name changes once you are a premium member?

 

[Xivii]

You can change your name twice every three months.

Hey, I have a suggestion concerning User Group functionality. Maybe there could be a type of alert system implemented? I'm rather busy daily and don't really remember to consistently check the groups I'm apart of, which can make me miss important posts and things.

Just a thought...

 

[Lythium]

I'm guessing you're talking about Social Groups?

You can subsribe to the discussions in the groups. If there are any new posts, the discussion will show up in your User CP.

 

[A New England Winter]

Wow, can't believe I never noticed that. Thanks, man :D

 

[Dragoon Fighter]

Why is the world smash fourms staff the only one allowed to answer questions?

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Because we've ha problems with users answering questions incorrectly.

 

[Luco]

I notice i tend to feel really out of place. I'm critiqued for putting something in that has been said before, it's just, well, 24 pages... It just feels like a lot to go through just to make sure what you have to say hasn't been said before. I'm also critiqued for putting things in wrong places, even when it seems as though the threads i'm putting the posts in are where they should be, even though they aren't. Is there a way around this? It's so hard to know one place from the other.... I've never actually been in a forum this big before... Just feels as if everything i do will be wrong in some way....

 

[Lythium]

The best suggestion I can give is to lurk more. Read before you post. If you're unsure if something has been brought up before, there's the search function. See what corresponds to each subforum, and respond accordingly.

Basically, just broaden your knowledge of the boards, and you'll be fine.

 

[Luco]

So it actually looks for what's been said in any given post?

 

[ndayday]

You don't have to go that far, and don't worry, everyone starts off that way (bro, even I did). Just lurk a little like Lythium said. If you feel like perhaps your thread is a simple question, ask in the social room or the Q&A thread which are basically staples of the Brawl boards. People appreciate that.

On the main page just look through the board descriptions, and that usually helps.
And really, you can get through the boards just great by simply posting in already active threads, you don't really have to make new threads all the time. I make very few threads myself.

 

[Frown]

Keep in mind that if you feel like people aren't treating you well, report their posts and the staff will take a look at the situation or if it's a certain member who is treating you badly, make a post in Forum Support on top of the main page. We really don't want new members to feel like they aren't welcome.

Actually, a lot of threads i make tend to be curiosity threads. They are one of the few things i have the feeling not a lot of people have talked about before. I can always look, but as i said before, going through however many pages seems a little much, so i'm thinking the search function would work.

 

[ndayday]

For things you're curious about, a good place to ask is that boards social thread or their Q&A thread. Social if you want a potential discussion, and Q&A if you want straight up answers.

 

[Luco]

The only thing is, if i post it in new threads, i'm worried i'll take a thread off topic, which isn't really what i'd like to do.

 

[ndayday]

"Sorry to interrupt,"

or

-insert somewhat relevant sentence to current discussion-
"By the way,"

Of course I'd only do that in a social thread, social threads are social, there is no real topic in those.

 

[Luco]

Hmm, fair enough... Thanks!

 

[ndayday]

No problem.

 

[arch knight]

there is no real topic in those.

Technically there is, but as long as what is being posted in the social group is contributive to the cause under what the group was founded on.

 

[Luco]

Why doesn't my signature always appear under my posts, even if one post in a thread has it and the other(in the same thread, even the same page) doesn't?

 

[Grey Belnades]

Some sections of the board don't allow signatures to show. Usually, quoting a post or checking off the "Show your signature" will have your signature appear but if you do try to show your sig, have it matching the size of your post.

 

[Dragoon Fighter]

It is Thursday and I still do not have the premium membership. It was pay pal item number: edefcac433586dd20d182262cc034f82 . Does it normally take this long? Because I really wish to post polls and change my name .

I have a feeling that I'm not understanding you, or you're not understanding me.

I never knew threads like this:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=254551&page=110

had a subject.

Dragoon Fighter:

Wait a while longer, and if it still doesn't show up, tell an admin.

Keep it clean and stay on topic on what's been currently discussed!

sorry if the explanation sounded poor. But what i meant was there is always a subject even in social groups.

Mine is also taking quite some time to arrive. Here is my paypal receipt and I have yet to receive Premium Membership. Also, I accidentally ordered two 12 Month Memberships, so the second one needs to be removed from my Paypal if that's possible.

And yes, I have talked to Virgilijus about this.

 

[Lythium]

Virg is in charge of all things related to premium, so he's most likely the one to sort it out for you, and only an admin is capable of fixing a problem like that, anyway.

I doubt that you can get your money back that easily. But after all, that's one additional year of fun in the Disco Room!

So if I wait a little longer, and I still do not get premium I go to her for help, right?

The years stack? So If I pay one payment for 12 months and another payment for 3 months, I can stay premium for 15 months?
