Can we have a 64 character postbit? It seems like this site loves to forget where it comes from and only concentrate on Melee and Brawl. Sure, it never was as big as either of them, but we wouldn't have either ofthe later two without 64. I'd like to see it remembered as well.

 

[Mic_128]

Find us some good quality rips and we'll consider it.

 

[Zatchiel]

So if you're infracted, and you can reason with the moderator to correct him as to why it's a misunderstanding (or why you feel it wasn't deserved/necessary), what happens with your infraction? Can it be removed?

Also, does anyone actually use the advanced features? I've noticed a few, and I haven't really seen a point unless you don't have a mouse. (Ex: "Post Quick Reply" is set to "Alt+S")

 

[Lythium]

You can send said moderator a PM regarding your infraction or make a case in Forum Support. Infractions can be reversed.

I imagine that most people don't use advanced options, but they're there.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Fix the search function please?

 

[ndayday]

It's been brought up, and it's something MLG tech has to take care of, if i remember correctly. So we're waiting on that.

There you go.

Why? So you can add a third Yoshi to your postbit?

Spoiler

<-- totally wouldnt have 3 kirbies if n64 postbit was added

Is there a list of these features somewhere? I use alt+s for all my posts (including this one! :D)

Why are images being screwed around with again?

Images now automatically go to a new line if they're next to each other? This is the second time in less than a month you guys have screwed up my Matchup thread I've put a lot of work in to for the Diddy boards :|

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=300226

See the character cards? They used to align next to each other, creating rows of about five or so, but now they automatically drop down a line if two

 

[Zankoku]

Well, that's different.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

it might already be fixed, but i see the thread perfectly fine.

 

[Pogoshark]

Is there a way to change my username?

 

[ndayday]

By purchasing a Premium membership, yes.
However that's down right now. So currently, no, you can't.

 

[Sails]

Yep, thanks to whoever did it so fast! I was so annoyed because I was under the impression that it wouldn't get fixed at all, sorry about that.

 

[Fuelbi]

So question

Do admins have the right to see PMs or something? I was curious if they can do that

 

[ndayday]

They can, but they really wouldn't unless they seriously need to.
You can use your imagination.

 

[Mic_128]

Don't think there's any way short of manually changing your password and logging in on your account, which you'd kinda notice. Something like that would be a very last resort for something EXTREMELY bad. (IE, child porn or something else severely illegal)

 

[Pandaphant]

Please make the IRC channel easier to find with instructions on how to add it to your irc client. I think more people will use the community to brawl with other members and it'll be a good way to create more socializing. It's really lonely here :-)

 

[UltiMario]

The IRC Channel is sooooo deaaaaddddd

I'm even a half-op there, but not anymore because our bot actually retired from how dead we were.

looooooooooool

Hey Mic, any word on whether suggestions still go here or not?

Because I read these cool suggestions and I don't know what to do.

 

[Get Low]

How do I unsubscribe to a thread?

 

[ndayday]

Go to your User CP and look at your subscribed threads. Check the ones you want deleted, and scroll down where you will see a dropdown box. Select "delete subscription" and click go.

[KAOSTAR]

Is it possible to increase the number of pictures per post? Just to the bare minimum of number of moves a character would have. It would be nice to have the ability to put together hitbox gifs and be able to post all of a characters moves in 1 post.

5 aerials
7 throw actions (4 throws plus pummel, grab and dash grab)
4 specials
3 smash attacks
3 tilts(often times ftilt has mid hi and low totalling 5)
3 standard (jab, rapid jab, dash attack)
3 situational(getup atack +2 ledge attacks)

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I dont think there should be a limit (within reason) and I would like an explanation to why there isnt one. Also, the Senate suggestion thread might be a better place to bring this issue up

 

[Zatchiel]

So, what's wrong with Premium members being able to prank other members themselves? Same with name changes. Why can't they do it themselves, rather than PMing an Admin?

 

[ndayday]

Because to change your name/change other people's groups, you need to be an admin. Apparently you can't allow just those things, either.

And yes suggest the increased image limit in this thread:

This is to stop browser crashing posts that consist of hundreds of images. I do think the limit should be increased though.

I doubt it's possible to give Premium members "partial" admin powers that only work once or twice a month. And I think it would be possible to include an individual name change function but we can't rely on that users only use the name change function every three months.

Basically, we're limited by the forum engine

 

[Mrckv3]

Where to post ssbb obstacle courses?
Also is there a shout box or chat box where we can talk?

 

[ndayday]

This board looks to be your best bet, even though I don't think that kind of discussion is too frequent anymore, judging by the sticky for obstacle courses there being last posted in 7 months ago.
http://www.smashboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=183

And there is not! Unfortunately. Very unfortunately.

 

[Mrckv3]

How to post the level? Sorry for posting here again

 

[Ripple]

it'd be cool if the last post on a page ALSO appeared at the top of the next page.

http://www.smashboards.com/stagebrowser.php?
Sorry, I misunderstood your first post about it.

Wouldn't that make the second to last post the last post?

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Enable our signatures to fit and not have the bottom cut off. Just have a limit on the size so people don't put massive sized signatures when posting.

 

[Zankoku]

Do you have any proposals for this when there is no way for the site to actually check the size of an image? Alternatively, I can include an option on whether or not to restrict signature height on your browser.

Hmm...the signature I current use was 680x160. I knew the limit is around 135 or near that. I'm guessing here. I think 200 would seem decent. I was going to make signature starting 680x200 but I know it would be cut when the signature would show up in a post.

 

[Zankoku]

Wait, what's the justification for increasing the maximum size of signatures?

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Not sure. I was experimenting as far as the sizes go and was picking numbers then test to see how they would look here.

does that mean that users can choose whether to see the full signature or how it is now? I would like that option, i think it would be cool to see everyone's giant signature (on posts that display them) like they were for the few hours before you fixed it ^^
