Question:
i have had this problem with the boards...on my laptop it won't allow me to got to the page at all it always says "SERVER CAN NOT BE FOUND". Is there a problem with my laptop?is there anything i have to change like cookies or whatever?Yet i can go the boards without any problems on my desktop computer.

What is the purpose of that little Bowser icon next to my status icon and report spam icon when I post? I'm pretty sure I never had the before...

 

[Mic_128]

Onii: It's just the SWF servers being overloaded again. We should be getting a permament fix for that soon.

Wolf: It's just so if you want you can show who you play in Smash. you can change it in User Profile

When I set up my sig, with:

[IM G]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/exdarklight/peachbowserjd3.jpg[/IMG]

Without the space of course, it only shows the link in the preview. What am I doing wrong? Do I need a certain amount of posts, etc.?

 

[Elven Goddess]

Is the search broken? I can't search for anything.

 

[Randall00]

In order to avoid confusion, only forum leaders should answer questions.

 

[kungfurabbits]

I haven't been here in a LONG time. But last time I was here, Smashboards had an RPG thing which was a few years back.

1) Do they still do it?
2) Why did they stop (besides the fact it was glitched as hell when I last did it)
3) Will there be more?

 

[CodeytheRhino]

Why does this site seem to time out all the time? It happens at home and at school (on a T3 connection). Or is it just me?

 

[Caturdayz]

What do the points beside "Banned" mean? ( i.e: Banned (6 points) )

 

[Always and Never]

THey should sticka thread here called where you can just talk about anything and everything. Like a daily chit-chat of sorts. It would be a great place to meet people.

Curious. I'd imagine if you tried to go into the room, it would change back. But if it's just cosmetic I guess it's just a trivial bug, but not a big deal.

Seems to be a bug in the software we're using. Hardware and software upgrades should be forthcoming; hopefully they'll address these issues. In the meantime, try to use search terms that are more restrictive--my guess is that you're getting too many results from your search.

1) No.
2) It was difficult to maintain, especially whenever we had to upgrade the forums.
3) We don't have any plans to start up the RPG again.

Why does this site seem to time out all the time? It happens at home and at school (on a T3 connection). Or is it just me?

It happens more often during the evening, when traffic is higher. We're waiting on some server upgrades that should improve things.

What do the points beside "Banned" mean? ( i.e: Banned (6 points) )

Basically, nothing; it takes 6 points to get banned. That's all.

THey should sticka thread here called where you can just talk about anything and everything. Like a daily chit-chat of sorts. It would be a great place to meet people.

I think we had some thread somewhat like this, but if you'd like to chat I'd recommend our chat room:

well I know that myslef don't know how to spell right but I would like to ask is crinsom king ok and matt I have not see them often I do care for people well being?

 

[calmlunatic]

Why can't I post images in my signature?

It's beginning to get on my nerves.

 

[Earthbound360]

What's the best way to find matches? I mean, we cant go making topics everytime we want a match, so how can we ask random people for matches? We can use our finder threads, but that only leads to dittos.

calmlunatic: http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=143757

Flaco: They're fine.

 

[Earthbound360]

My online status corrects itself right? Meaning, if Im really seeking a brawl, it'll put me under "Seeking brawl."

Also, how do you put messages under your location?

 

[Tiny Toon]

How do you add sigs, IMG code is off, and that's what I'm used to using, HALP

 

[Mic_128]

Please read the posts before yours, as that question is answered twice on the previous page.

thank you Mic also I sometimes read a topic maybe i take like 2 or 3 minutes to read and when I go back to the index I log out attomatically why?

 

[F8AL]

Whenever I go to "www.smashboards.com", it changes to "http://76.9.5.204//", this is normal right because of the server change?

 

[flaco]

IPeroblem I wanna buy a shirt but evry time I try it takes me to a blank page why?

 

[Xsyven]

Is there a way the admins can get the noisy ad to not appear?

I know I'm not a premie, and for that I have to see ads, but they'd always been subtle and quiet... until now. **** beeping!

 

[F8AL]

Yeah, sometimes when I'm looking at a topic for a minute, I get logged out and sometimes when I attempt to log in with the correct user name and password, it doesn't log me in. Help?

Edit: As soon as I posted this reply, I was logged out...

 

[flaco]

I aslo get these problem I randomly log off

 

[Grandeza]

-this is Grandeza

My friend SSTLT(whose account im on right now) came over a week ago and logged in on the laptop im on right now. When he left I logged him out. I was on my account today and I clicked the link to another thread and as usual it opened in a new tab. When I went into the new tab I realized I was on SSTLT's account. Why did this happen? Also, right now on SSTLT's account it's showing some properties of my account such as listing Grandeza as the first member on the online members list. What's going on?

edit- This is very strange. When I posted it posted as my name yet on top it says speedy sonic toon lucario trainer with his avi.

edit2- Apparently when I clicked the link it opened in a new tab and said i was on SSTLT's account. As soon as I navigated away to another part of the site, it changed back to Grandeza. Weird, but not like I could do anything on his account.

Sorry if this has been answered before:

I've seen most users with icons below their avatar/info mostly indicating their mains. How do I put one on mine?

 

[#HBC | marshy]

Well, as we all know, you've got a lot of experience there.

I'm continually surprised by how selective the answers to these "official" questions are. The need for administrative competence on the PR side of things is such an absolutely necessary function for a community of this size that it just makes all of Smash World look like a bush league next to both significantly smaller forums, and larger ones too. Kinda like making a wiki on a web-hosting-for-noobs platform like Wikia.

I think he's saying that all questions should be answered, instead of questions just getting answered here and there, like this thread has been going. I agree.

Speaking of which...

Quoting this since it's my question too, so +1 to that. It has never been so **** annoying to win a free laptop.

[Mini Mic]

I have a question, how did Joshisrad write "****" without it being censored?

 

[flaco]

I will also like to know why he didn't get censored

 

[Binx]

Because the sensors have a loophole, but yeah I prolly shouldn't run around telling people how to do it so I wont.

 

[Mini Mic]

It's ok someone already explained how to do it on another thread

 

[Slepten]

How am i supposed to challenge people in brawl?
Not a personal invitation, but for anyone to accept.

 

[Xsyven]

Suggestion:
Change the forum title of the 'Pikmin & Olimar' forum to just 'Olimar', seeing that he's only called Pikmin & Olimar n the Japanese version of the game.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

Will forum games be getting a new mod?

The anarchy thing was kinda decent for a while, but now it's going down the gutter.
It's.
Getting.
Bad.
