Smogon Simple Questions & Suggestions Thread

Ok, so there is a difference between watching and bookmarking. Thank you
Bookmarking:
  • Done on posts
  • Found via clicking username in top right > Bookmarks tab (defaults to Your Account tab). Or here
  • Can be organized with custom labels
  • Does not support alerts; it's like bookmarking a URL in your browser so you can quickly find it later
Watching:
  • Done on forums and/or threads
  • Found along top bar under Watched (between the Forums tab and the name of the thread). Or threads | forums
  • Cannot be organized
  • Supports email/alert/push notifications when there is a new post within the watched content. Customized here
 
Hello, where or who I should ask about account management and how the page manages certain data? Incidentally, I want to know if when you change data like your birthday or email if the old data is still stored somewhere or is deleted for good. Should I ask the one specified by the "contact us" link from the Privacy Policy?

For that matter, I would like to change my birthday too, but in private and not in a indexed thread. Should I ask the same guy or request to do it privately on the correct thread?

Since that's me I'll answer: the old data isn't stored anywhere, you can message me with DOB changes.

i dont exactly know why this is but my best guess is its for an infraction i got for a joke that went wrong, but that infraction should've expired in 30 days and it's been over half a year since
can someone help me with this?
 
Hello!

I'm not sure where to post this so I'm gonna post it here

The Email Verification Process I think is broken here

I've changed my Smogon email a few times in the past few months & it says "If you change your email, you may need to reconfirm your account.'
But I have never needed to Verify the new change

I also had to Recreate a new account (To re-access this account; was Solved by a Staff Member) & when I signed up, I didn't need to verify, & i never got an email to verify the account

To me this sounds really buggy because anyone could just sign up with a random email that doesn't belong to them
 
is there a thread explaining how the badges and everything related (points, avatars, how to get them etc) explained?

This explains how badges are given:

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/badge-faq.3644578/

In terms of how to get avatars and such, there are certain point values assigned to each badge and Showdown drivers (for example Community Contributor is 1 point while Community Leader is 4) and a custom avatar requires 6 points. The only badges to not give points are Tiering Contributor and Pre-Contributor (aka Ladybug).
 
Why was the Halloween forum skin deleted approximately in the last 5 minutes

I've been using it for like, a year. Gimme my skin back. Gimme My Skin!

I want it!
Where the hell is the Halloween theme.

free Smogon Spooky
I have been a Smogon Spooky main for years and inquired about this.

The site is undergoing an upgrade / maintenance today/tomorrow. Unfortunately, as part of this, Spooky has been retired. That doesn’t mean it won’t ever come back, but there are currently no plans for it to.

Pour one out :row:

It can come out of retirement. Halloween is next month cmon, what do we have to do to get Spooky back? Actually what do we have to do to submit a custom skin? People on this forum have put in more effort for less I'm sure
 
Hopefully this still gets answered despite the current spooky crisis, I wish you spooky mains luck!

Is there anywhere on the site with high quality (or even just any quality) .pngs of the reaction images? Luvdisc like, Alomomola love, etc. Whenever I want to use them it's a nightmare trying to find them, because search engines are no help and I've never found it using the on-site search function.

they are svgs so you can render them in any quality you want!

the rest of the URLs are left as an exercise for the reader
 
is there any place to download the images used on the reacts

i thought it'd be fun for my discord to have some of them, couldn't figure out how to get it with html (seems to just reference a file i cant get to) and if you try to open image it gets the elements behind the reacts instead (example):
