You've spent $8.00, but no, it doesn't.

How much have I spent?

I'd like to add that you can also pause the video in Youtube, right click on it and select "Copy video URL at current time".

Would be more appropriate in the staff forum ^

Hey what's with the Brawl Backroom? It kind of helpful. But what exactly is it used for and how do I get in?

That should help. Applications are held bi-anually from what I understand.

 

[Engo]

My smashboards will randomly go into the mobile version of the site sometimes. Also occasionally it goes back to the old skin. Anyone know why this happens and how to stop it?

Is there a way to change your username?

Is there a way to change your username?

You can change your name by purchasing a premium membership.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Well, one must purchase a premium and then send Virgilijus a PM about the name change, making sure the desired name isn't already in use. I believe you're allowed 1 name change every 3 months or so.

2 premium name changes per 3 months actually

 

[Claire Diviner]

2 premium name changes per month actually

Oh, that's far more than I had thought. lol. Gives me an idea for April Fools.

 

[Zankoku]

Uh, it's specifically 2 namechanges per 3 months.

 

[Claire Diviner]

You've failed me, rPSI. To be fair, it still gives me an idea for April Fools nonetheless. lol

 

[Yeerk]

If I make a post and am waiting for a reply, is there anywhere I can look to see if I've received one, besides refreshing the page I was on? If not is there a more convenient website or chat room to find random people to play PM with? The Arena seems like a very inconvenient place to actually look for an opponent. And is there a way to delete my previous posts? Thanks!

 

[ndayday]

You can subscribe to the thread you posted in, but that will alert you of any new posts in that thread and not just in response to you, and only when you check your User CP. You can do that in Thread Tools at the top of whatever thread you're posting in.

You can try the faux finder: http://fsmash.org/
(our Friend Finder has been down for years, but hopefully with all the changes happening, FF being resurrected will be a thing. If it does, I really suggest you try it out)
I have no idea how the reception of PM is there, however. There's also Allisbrawl, they have very nice ladders, a chat etc., including one dedicated to Smash mods as I understand it. You could also try the PM forum here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=331830
Not sure if it's just an aversion to online or a tournament, but maybeee you could start a friendlies thread? Of course, that kind of leaves you back where you started.

There is no way to delete your posts, but feel free to edit content out. If it's a double post or something usually a mod will come by and clean it up.

 

[PSIguy89]

how can i get those character icons that represent who i main? please and thank you!

 

[Lythium]

User CP > Edit Your Details.

It's listed under additional information.

 

[BlueXenon]

What happens when I report a post?

 

[TheReflexWonder]

What happens when I report a post?

Moderators for that specific subforum have a list of report messages that they can see, which shows the post you reported and what you had to say about it (if anything). They read it whenever they're around (they're usually on at least once a day, but when they're on to check varies from mod to mod), and they make a judgment call on whether or not it's worth a warning or an infraction.

 

[Calvonta]

Isn't there a Fighting is Magic thread somewhere on SWF?

 

[ndayday]

There's a social group:
http://www.smashboards.com/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=7142

There's a fighting thread general:
http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=289272&page=118

There's the MLP general:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=299338

There might be in the Light House, but search is down so I can't find it, and Google gave me nothing but the above threads/groups.

 

[Oninova]

Would it be possible for me to get a username change...? :<

 

[Gatlin]

With the purchase of Premium Membership, yes.

 

[Oninova]

>broke

lol I'll just make a new account

 

[KuroganeHammer]

You could ask someone with premium to gift you some.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I bought premium for 2 years and never used any of my name changes. Since I didn't use them, did i lose them?

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Pretty sure, yes.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Yeah, you're supposed to change your name while you're under Premium status.

 

[Bartmanhomer]

Where is the question thread where I can post my one-shot question?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Didn't you just do that? I mean, if this wasn't the place, then you'd totally be ****ed

 

[Bartmanhomer]

No. I mean a question thread where I can post questions that is TV related.
