Smogon Simple Questions & Suggestions Thread

[jetou]

Are the people in the "Members online" list arranged in any particular order?

I'm guessing by last activity

Just needing clarification; TC can only be attained through voting on suspects in official tiers? It's probably yes, but I just wanted to make sure since the sentence " The 8 votes can be in any tier and generation" seems a bit vague.

The OMs aren't technically "tiered".

Hello, im trying to figure out which nature is best for my Marshadow. I can't decide between Jolly and Adamant. I want Marshadow to hit hard, but should i just focus on speed?

If you're playing Ubers, then you should have jolly to outspeed mega Salamence. Also, questions about specific battling formats should be asked on their dedicated SQSA threads instead of this one.

I was leaning that way, thanks! Oh, and sorry, i wasn't sure where to ask.

Hopefully this is a simple fix but since the new Smogon website design when I am on Smogon on my phone I am unable to strike through my posts, like the option doesn’t even show up. Going to include a photo of my screen and hopefully someone will be able to help.

Just type out [ s]striked out text[ /s] without the spaces in the brackets. It'll change it to striked out text :3

Why do quotes not say "fat (user) said" anymore?

It was removed after the forum upgrade and will not be added again.

You click the “image” button that’s beside the font stuff, and type in the URL of the pokemon you wanna add.

Example: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/tapukoko.gif

Another example: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/mawile-mega.gif

So I had this Jolly Cosmog that I evolved into a Solgaleo. The name though is Korean. Can someone tell me what the name says and if it means anything?

how do you get the text under your name? Also where can I find a collection/database of the small sprites? (the kind that you see in your pc box and under the opponent's name during a battle)

A: "CT" is an abbreviation for "custom title", the term the Smogon forum uses to identify the text underneath a member's username and avatar in their postbit. Regular members don't have the ability to edit their CT, but once becoming a badgeholder (a member that's been awarded a badge for their on-site contributions), a member can freely edit their CT. There are some cases in which non-badgeholders have a CT, such as if a member gets a username change and the CT is "formerly [their old username]".

As for the second question, the best one I know is Bulbapedia.

Is there any way to view a user's forum presence like there was before the update a few weeks ago?

currently no, but it's on the list of things to add back

Apparently the avatar size limit was increased in the transition to XF2, what's the new limit?

Just a suggestion for /ionext, is there a command to make all battles invite only, like persay /ionext all or something?

I guess this would be the thread to ask this. I noticed you added a few more smilies to the Smilies options and all of them are quite nice (love the Pyukumuku one, lol) . However that made me think, Pokemon has released many stickers for the LINE social media app, some funny, and I thought maybe it would be a neat idea to add some of them to the smilies, obviously shrinking and/or cutting out parts of it.
