That sounds more like an April Fool's prank.

I got a question, I looked for it but couldn't find any answers, sorry if it's somewhere obvious...
How does the time work on TBT?

Site suggestion: Bring back thread tags.

Are you referring to post timestamps and the forum banner changes throughout the day? If so, you can update your time zone in your account preferences to ensure everything is reflected in your local time.

Please correct me if I misunderstood your question!

Most events operate on ET if that's what you meant? You can see the current TBT time here:

This would actually be a really fun idea tbh. I'd be down for this, even if we have to purchase the option in the shop or something like that.

What's the easiest way to deal with image sizes that are too big from a smartphone?

One of my 3DS shoulder buttons is perma broken so I'm using an iPhone to take pics for the event, but the file size is too big. I already tried some cropping.

What does it actually mean to be following someone?

 

[Aerith]

Every time I send a gift, it creates a new conversation with that person. Is there a way to turn that off? It didn't used to do this. D:

I upload my photos to an image hosting site like imgbb or imgur, then use the link to add them to my posts.

What does it actually mean to be following someone?

Following people allows you to see when they are online easier(provided they do not have "invisible mode" on) you can see the people you are following online by scrolling to the bottom of the homepage

You can also go to "What's new" and go to your news feed and you will see the latest activity of the people you are following

Basically following someone makes it easier to see when they are online and what they have been up to on the forums recently.

Thank you! I'll just do that then.

I was editing my island journal and added a bunch of pictures, and at the bottom of my posts have this section called "Attachments", does anyone know why this happened? I don't really want this showing up under all my posts with pictures.

if you uploaded them through the forum's integrated uploaded then they shouldn't appear in the post. but if you uploaded them via an external host (like imgur) then you should be able to delete those attachments and the images will stay.

To add to @/xSuperMario64x's post above -

I've also had this happen in the past for two reasons:

1. I've attached a picture but didn't insert it into my post (Insert > Thumbnail or Full image)
2. I've accidentally attached the photo twice and didn't hit the trash icon on the file I didn't use

From viewing your post and island journal, I see duplicates of the same image attached, so try editing your post to remove the ones you didn't use in the attachment section!

thank you very much! i was copying and pasting the images so maybe that's why it happened? and i'll try removing some of the duplicates, thank you!

This might be a silly questions but what are the fruits under our pfp in the sidebar? Do they mean anything and can we change it?
