Smogon Simple Questions Thread

Don't think there's space with it being the place for various custom titles, and then banners and badges under that.
how to insert a pokemon spritte in our message? How to make a signature appear?
Use :pokemon-name: for a minisprite (ex. :oras/necrozma: (without the oras/ part) brings up
). For spaces, use a dash.
To make a signature, click your profile at the upper right, then there should be an option for signature
Every time I attempt to login to my account (the one I’m using currently to access this board) it says I’ve used the wrong password. I’ve have two separate Admin help me reset the the password but the problem keeps happening… and no it’s not user input error. Does this have something to do with me accessing showdown via my iPhone? Because I do get a weird polio every now and then saying something about proxy server jargon… any idea?
Yo, I have a constant problem with connecting to PS! with one of my devices. I can make it work the first few times, but after that, I can’t connect. My internet has Adblock, and I have Securly and a device manager, any troubleshooting?
Securly is your problem. It doesn’t work on my Securly device either.
It is indeed.

I don't think it's possible to activate Eject Button like that in singles, Pursuit would have to hit the opponent first for the Eject Button to eject, but I did try to make it work:

There is a common issue when doing tours where a user can spam the buttons for Battle and Cancel, extending indefinitely the duration of the challenge step. This happens because the timer resets each time. It can be fixed if a moderator removes them manually from the tour, but a permanent solution, like not resetting the timer, would be a better option.
I have got a suggestion about the rules of the forums:
since "Lurk More" is so vague you should bring up examples where people got called out for things that either not prohibited by other rules or even for following the rules to the letter.
I don't think that I am allowed to mention any examples, I will get into trouble if I do.

Question, fairly new to smoogon too, btw. I see the "Report" and "Reply" buttons but I can't seem to locate the like button? I'm on Desktop. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm just a little confused :-(|
EDIT: I just refreshed the page with the theme, that seems to have fixed it. Couldn't see it on Smogon Classic+ Smogon Dark.

The like button appears after you post a certain number or times, either 5 or 10 I don't quite remember which. It'll be next to reply when it does appear!
I believe you need to post 10 times before you can see the Like button on the bottom right of posts.
I see, it just popped up for me. Thank you for the help! :0)
Unfortunately you can only get it (the custom title) if you have a badge. Badges are rewarded for distinctly valuable contribution to the community over a sustained period of time.
Hi, I'm returning to Pokémon after a long hiatus.
In Gen 7 I had completed my all-ribbon Pokémon (excepting the GCN purification ribbons, which were impossible for my chosen Pokémon to get), and although I didn't think I wanted to return to the series, the coming 3DS and later Bank internet shutdown galvanized me to getting my ribbon Pokémon onto Home in order that they wouldn't become "extinct."
I also want to get the newer ribbons, however, and that's what this comes to: one ribbon, the Master Rank Ribbon, requires playing against other players in the Ranked Battle system to acquire. It's also just in Sword and Shield, evidently, a set of games somewhat older now.
Is it going to be possible for me to get enough matches to get that ribbon on 4 Pokémon? If it's totally desolate, is it possible for a friend to just get on the Ranked Battle system and sort of supply me with random matches? Or is that a misunderstanding of how the system works?
Thanks for your consideration.
EDIT: I also noticed several years ago my avatar changed from a picture of Mew smoking a blunt to a small Pokémon sprite. Was there a reason for that? If it's not offensive I was thinking of putting the avatar back up.

Hello, I feel that the order in which some Pokemon's sets are listed on the Smogon Dex can lead to unnecessary confusion. When someone new to the uses the site for the first time and looks up their favorite Pokemon, they will probably assume that the first set listed is the best or most common set for that particular Pokemon. However, for some Pokemon this simply isn't the case, for example, the Dragapult set that is listed first is its Light Clay set or Meowscarada's first being its Sash Lead set. In both of these cases the respective Pokemon's Specs and Band sets (or even Boots for both) are the more prominent set. I think by having these listed higher up will paint a better picture of how these Pokemon and are the best sets to plug and play with for new players if they are making a team. Now that being said, I don't know how you could objectively decide which set is the most important for each and I would also like to apologize if this is in fact already being worked on during the post-Home update.
Also also, one more semi-related question, why are the Balloon and Cloak/Boots sets for Gholdengo separate if they are all the same other than the item?

Try reposting your question in this thread. It's the simple questions thread for Orange Islands, which is the part of Smogon where people talk about main series game stuff like Ribbons/Home/Breeding/etc. It's likely that someone who reads that thread will have the answer, even if nobody who reads this thread does.
The software that Smogon runs internally has changed a few times and profile pictures weren't carried over during the changes. All good to change it back.
