I'm pretty sure (new) animated avatars are broken right now, though I don't think it's been officially confirmed anywhere. Mine isn't working either

I tested one I had previously used out of curiosity and you're right!

hello! i'm pretty new here and i just used my seashells to buy the ability to use GIFs for my avatar. i tried to upload one, but it stayed as a static image. is there a step i'm missing? i tried editing it through my profile, and i made sure it was a .gif format image.

I updated a piece of server software that should fix this issue. Please let us know if it still won't work. Thanks!

Is there a way to check if a thread will reward bells? Other than posting in it and having to remember forever?
Sometimes I post expecting bells but get nothing and it made me wonder.

There's no official list, but there are currently only a few threads that are exceptions, all in Brewster's Cafe: WBY, Brewster's Banter, Place your random thoughts, and a thread that was locked a year ago. Other than these, it depends on the board that the thread is in. For example, threads in The Basement reward no bells.

So, I'm kind of unsure about this and I'd want to make a post about it, if allowed.

Are we allowed to make threads about modding games? Specifically I want to make a thread about modding Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, and it's really just save file editing. Is that permitted here or does that run too close to something Nintendo wouldn't want?

Thanks.

Potentially a noob question, but is there a thread or category in TBT dedicated to adult users? Maybe even like 21+? As an older user I feel like it would be nice to help adult TBTers find each other.
(I would post this in site feedback but it's closed)

Ty!

So maybe I used to not come on when it was happening so I never saw it, but there seems to be an influx of Russian bots. What is that all about? Feels like there's a bot breach everyday now.

Also, I don't think the ads should be doing this. They've been doing it for a while, but every time I forget to take a screenshot. It actually starts off huge. Like takes over the entire forum before it slowly shrinks itself down to the bottom. But if you scroll up the ad will cover everything below. As you can see on the 2nd pic. It's easy to just refresh the page, but also pretty sure this is the type of ad you don't want.

I know I already posted about this, but this is a very intrusive ad if you ask me and really shouldn't be on the forum.

I read the seashell information section, but I'm still confused. My account is older than 2 years and I (just recently) got 20 posts. Am I still able to get 10 seashells? Or is there something I'm missing? Thank you!
