How does one get a coloured name? That was a one-time thing that the forum administrator did to raise funds to support victims of a natural disaster; I think it was in Japan. Posters who donated were allowed to pick a special color for their screen names as long as it wasn’t one already used to denote mods or administrators.

Yeah, it was in the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

not to sound heartless but we're not giving out random colour names again. it's caused nothing but headaches since it was done that first time with people thinking those with coloured names are mods/board staff both to complain to and about. we have no issue with organising fund raisers for things or having links for donations pages (as long as they're legitimate or don't break our board & proboard's rules.) but we're not doing that as a "thank you" again.

So, there is no other way of getting one? Okay, never mind, I guess.

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami was also a massive disaster that killed nearly 20,000 people, caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, and caused meltdowns at a nuclear power plant. The 2024 Noto earthquake wasn't nearly on the same scale in terms of devastation.

Two threads in as many days with misspellings in the title and it triggered me lmao We've tried teaching the correct way to spell certain words like "colour" "centre" "labour" "cheque" "favourite" "dialogue" "flavour" "mum" "football" "tyre" "aluminium" "shite" etc but then July rolls around and we have to start all over again. seriously though we have a lot of posters for who English is a second or third language, even for those of us who it's our first/only language spelling mistakes happen it's best to just let it slide and ignore it when you see it even if it's triggering, unless it's someone intentionally trolling then report it.

Would embedding a gif from the Mercedes/Shida match in the Mercedes thread be ok? Just want to make sure.

Just want to make sure. gifs are fine (until wwe decides they're an issue) as long as it's not the entire match in gif form or break any of our & proboard's rules (so no porn gifs before anyone gets that idea.). aew so far hasn't issued a cease and desist copyright complaint against us for video footage (please tony, if you are reading this for the love of bob (no not that one.) please don't we can all do without that headache.) like wwe did. gifs are fine for both wwe & aew, wwe footage not from their accounts isn't fine.

Is there not a way to add an image via mobile?
I've been trying to upload an image for a good bit, trying img tags and even switching to the desktop version on my phone, but I just get a question mark in a blue square when I post it.

If you access the forum through the Tapatalk app, adding a photo to a post is a snap. Just tap the little photo icon on the reply screen and select an image from your phone’s library. The app does all the image tagging and uploading for you, and you can select the image size so you’ll know it conforms to the board’s size guidelines. For example:

Are we doing that now on this board (it first occurred on the now I feel old thread)? the board staff have no control over adverts, if it keeps happening it may be something happening that only proboards themselves can fix. if we had control over adverts it'd be for made up stuff or posters youtube/twitch/books/etc.
