I can't post in my thread because I didn't post 5 messages? wtf ?
I have to post 5 messages in the other threads I guess.

Yeah, in order to post links in any threads, you have to have made five posts anywhere. You should be able to post normally in your thread if you don't include links of any sort (including images), though.

(Looks like you just need one more post to be able to do even that, though! It shouldn't be a problem anymore once you make that post.)

Sylphiel: Yes, that's it. I've posted more than 5 messages, then I don't have this problem anymore now.

Could you please give more detail on what you mean by "broken"?

It no longer notifies me when i get a new one.

Also profile pics and avatars arent showing up right now as well correct?

Ah. Yes, it's related to PC's recent issues, and we're aware of that issue.

Avatars and profile pics are functioning normally. However, they were all deleted during our downtime, so you need to re-upload them.

May wanna update your announcement with that information then. I read "stuff is broken and we're working on making it work" and thought my avatar would come back 'by itself' eventually.

I have a quick question: how do I change my username without creating a new account? Thank you! :)

You'll have to wait until the next time the admins open up name changes, which won't be until...January, I believe. Otherwise, creating a new account is the only way to get a new name. :X No other options.

What is the reasoning behind the "no bumping threads that haven't had replies in over a month" rule? Just out of curiosity. :)

That appears to be the case.

Apparently they aren't, likely due to the hacking incident. The words show up as asterisks for me, and I have the disabled setting on.

So I donated $20 to the Pokecommunity, how long til my I get a notification and my name into Gold?

You simply have to wait for Rukario to process your donation. Then your name will be as good as gold, and you'll get a nice shiny emblem, too!

How can I write without the annoying codes that are used to change the size & colours of my writing? Whenever I try to change the size, some codes appear.

If you press the "Go Advanced" button, you can find this button on the right:

Clicking that should do the thing. :)

What are those "skim links" and how to avoid them? They appear out of nowhere in your writing. Click and you will go to another place.

Do you have a mobile version or app for the website?

Those are SkimWords, in-text ads that are allowed on PC to help pay for server costs. Supporters don't see them, so donating (or getting a really good ad blocker) are the only ways to not see them.

Do you have a mobile version or app for the website?

We used to have an app, but it wasn't that great, so it was discontinued. Currently, there's a mobile skin that's very minimal, so it's good for mobile devices. PC, however, is getting an update to help mobile browsing.
