I got this strange pop-up on my phone. Would it happen to be from an ad? I tapped block.

I'm very sorry for the late response on this. I did look into it, and then it slipped my mind.
My understanding is that this is a newer browser security feature that has been, and is being, implemented across many browsers. It's being rolled out on
Chrome and Chromium-based browsers like Microsoft Edge and Samsung Internet. It's also being rolled out on
Firefox. From what I've seen, the request can come up even for sites that don't need or try to access your local area network (LAN). TBT doesn't need to access any devices on your LAN, and you should be able to continue pressing "Block" without any issues.
I have another question about forbidden subjects. If religion and politics are already forbidden topics, what’s your standing on professional sports and related matter like cheating scandals and other sports controversies? While they aren’t political, people take sports way too seriously in today’s day and age, and the support for one team can be seen as pride in their home cities (or even states).
Another highly controversial topic is celebrity scandals. Even the ones that aren’t about politics involve highly sensitive subjects.
Discussions on many topics can become heated, even discussions about Animal Crossing! Thankfully, these types of heated discussions are infrequent on the site, so there won't be any restrictions on discussing innocuous general discussion or hobby topics.
WHY DO YOU KEEP SPYING ON ME
Whenever I visit THIS exact website, nothing else open, my device says my location is being shared with the website.
What is your problem, Bell Tree?
If you'd like to screenshot the message the next time it appears and reply here or make a thread with the image in the
Contact the Staff board, we can look into it more closely, since it would be helpful to see the message provided.
Your precise location is never shared with TBT. The information TBT receives about your location is limited to your IP address. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your internet connection by your internet service provider (ISP). Any site you interact with will receive your IP address, since that's how websites and devices (like a phone or laptop) communicate with each other. IP addresses only provide your broad geographic area and your ISP. In no other cases do we need your location.
Hello! Do you know how to edit my lineup???
In the navigation bar at the top of the screen (under the banner), you can click on the
Shop icon, and then click on
Inventory. In your inventory, collectibles will be separated by "inactive" and "active" collectibles. Next to each collectible there will be a
Settings button, a square checkbox, and a
Discard button.
If you click on
Settings, you will get a pop-up box. Within that pop-up box:
- If you check the box that says Active, the collectible will be active and will go to your lineup. If you uncheck it, it will not.
- If you check the box that says Hidden, the collectible will not be visible to anyone besides you, regardless of whether it is active or not.
- If you check both the Active and Hidden boxes, your collectible will be listed in your active collectibles instead of inactive collectibles, but it won't go to your lineup, because it's hidden.
- If you have neither box checked, your collectible will be active and will be displayed in your lineup.
The last thing to note is that you cannot change the order of your collectibles. All collectibles are ordered by date, where the newest collectible is displayed on the top row and far left of your lineup, and the oldest collectible is displayed on the bottom row and far right. If you have more than 10 collectibles not hidden and
active, only the 10 newest collectibles will be displayed.
I hope that helps a little bit!
