Forum Style Bug Reports

Not sure what's happening, but for a while now (ever since I had my username changed) I've had this notice on my account under the account details tab, "Your full account details are not currently editable."

I can't change my avatar or access anything under certain menus that I used to be able to access. Is this a forum bug or just a bug on my account?

Your profile is locked because of the name change. Requesting a "profile unlock" by quoting your original post will fix this issue when a mod gets to you. It is intended and mentioned in the OP of that thread.
Code: 
you will be profile locked for a month after getting a new name. Remember to ask a Super Moderator or Admin to remove the lock after a month, it will not come off automatically;
naturally, this is a month after the change was carried out, not a month after you posted your request.
do not post here asking to unlock your profile "when my month is over in 3 days", if we want to go through the thread before then we're not gonna wait for you, and if we go through it later then there was no point in posting ahead of time in the first place.
Include a link to your name change request when you ask for your profile to be unlocked.

Thank you so much for the clarification, I completely missed that part. I appreciate it a lot!

hello,I don't know if it is bug or not but I think that the move copycat in gen 5 is not functioning properly.

according to bulbapedia this move fails if the last move used was roar,but in pokemon showdown this move does activate.
(this was not the case in gen 4).

so either pokemon showdown has the move wrong for years now or bulbapedia got their facts wrong.

I noticed an odd glitch with the Sirfetch'd and Farfetch'd icons. I'm not sure if this applies to other Pokemon names (it seems to only be with those that have apostrophes). Basically, when I enter this:
Code: 
:sirfetch'd: :ss/sirfetch'd:
and then I save the post, it works fine... until I edit and the save right away. Then, it turns into this:
Code: 
:sirfetch :ss/sirfetch
If this could be fixed, that would be great. Thanks!

try writing it without the apostrophe as a workaround

eg
Code: 
:sirfectchd:
 
Hey! I'm matched up with someone in a Monotype tour, but I can't see their messages to me. It's on their wall.
 
Not sure if it’s from a Xenforo patch update (chaos) or if any smod or admin with style privileges can speak on the Spotify embed feature? There appears to be an excessive amount of linebreaks/padding underneath whenever you drop a link in a post.

Ttar got its scarf knocked off by Clefable.

Also, for future reference, this thread is only for bugs in the forum itself. Showdown bugs get reported here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/ps-bug-report-form/
 
I wanted to put images in my signature, but when I did that it didn't work because I needed permission from an administrator.

In theory, this wasn't supposed to happen, so would it be a bug?
 
I've noticed that when uploading some gifs with transparent backgrounds as a profile picture they all seem to get corrupted in the upload process. Here's an example with bw manaphy. Interestingly the gif shows up fine in the edit profile picture popup. It also displays normally when you click on the image while on my profile page.

I presume theres some processing Smogon does that results in the corruption.

here's a screenshot from the gif displaying on the forum, and then from the edit popup.


I am sourcing this gif from the same directory as the default sprites (https://www.smogon.com/forums/media/avatars/manaphy.gif.m.1), which displays normally when automatically assigned. I have tried up-scaling the gif, trying other pokemon, cropping the gif, sourcing from other sites, and all result in a corrupted gif.

I was discussing this with some other people, and someone managed to get gen6 sprites to work (albeit cropped) (example, smallow's account (interestingly, not all sources went uncorrupted)), but there were no successful bw sprites.

I hope this is the right thread to post this on.
Have a nice day

edit: as of may 2025 this seems to work fine

they will continue to be gone for the foreseeable future; they were more than just CSS changes to the default theme and pushing updates for them every time was a lot of work so until a volunteer decides to recreate them, we're stuck with the Default and Dark themes.

you can't just say that and not be specific with what would actually be needed
like assets, code, etc.
 
I don't know if this should go here, but I'll give it a try.

When I go to change my avatar, it won't let me move the image. I don't know if it happens to anyone else.
