once they're on the breeding list yes. There's tons that are technically thuweds in that we know TJ owns them (all dragons from release threads), but they're not marked as such because they're not breeding/on the pairlist.

But if its in a lineage yeah they're labeled.

 

Thank you, both, for the clarification. I just wanted to know for future reference (in comparison to fake Thuweds) 😅

Okay, I've been trying to look all over the forums to see what the rule is, but are we allowed to advertise we have commissions open in our art thread? Like, for USD, not dragons?

this really is a tiny little question

 

where do I need to be in order to change my signature. I need to change the links displayed there

i hope this is helpful:

 

at the top left of any forum page, you should see your name with a little down arrow next to it (to the right). click on that arrow to open the drop down menu. the first section is "CONTENT", the second is "SETTINGS". under SETTINGS, you'll see "Account Settings". click on that. on the left, under "Overview," the last item is "Signature". click on that, and you should be at the right place to edit your .sig.

(oops ninjaed. But as mine has PICTURES....  )

 

Top left > the arrow by your name > Account settings

 

 

Signature will them show up as an option.

Thank you both!! I knew it was there somewhere, but I was looking for the sig as it appears here, and on the right side lol.

 

I'll probably ask again, 5 years from now, when I want to change my sig again.

maybe i missed a faq but how will or can be a dead egg removed from scroll i accidentally bit an egg and now its dead..

 

sorry if i posted this on a wrong place..

The dead egg will disappear from your scroll in exactly 2 weeks to the second from the time of death. There is no way to remove it sooner.

Thanks

I've IRL commissioned people through DC, but for this, I think it's ok to link it in your signature. If I recall, users post finished/WIP commission pieces in their art threads and then link offsite to commission info.

Something odd, I got a PM today and when I went to reply it had this message: You cannot reply to this conversation because all other participants have left.

 

What happened?

It means they deleted the conversation thread from their inbox. You'll need to start a new one instead of replying.

Ah, ok. Thank you!

For several days now I have been unable to use Grid Custom Sort (the sort I use 99% of the time). I wondered if anyone else was having the same problem?

 

When I got to the page it comes up saying there's a script running. I have told it to stop running the script and not to ask me again. However, the page just hangs (I've left it for well over twenty minutes) and if I refresh the page the script message comes up again. I have tried it with three different browsers (Firefox, Pale Moon and IE) on both laptops and PCs and I have the same problem. The issue also exists with 'Table custom sort'.

 

A friend of mine has tried it and she too has the problem with Firefox. However, it works for her with Opera and Chrome.

[Fuzzbucket]

Mine has been doing that from time to time. I just leave it for a while - I say "wait" and in the end the script runs. And yes, it's OK in Opera. It MAY be a cloudflare thing ? That has had huge issues recently. (Disclaimer: I have NO idea - but just throwing that out as a thought.)

Long-running scripts may also happen due to lack of available RAM. Firefox is specially bad with memory management, in my experience.

Possible solutions include:

- close some other progams?

- restart browser?

- restart computer?

Thanks for the suggestions. However, I've done all of those things - I do them on a daily basis. Plus, I clear cookies & history each day.

Thank you. At least I know it isn't just me. But sadly, the leaving it doesn't help. I've tried that. Yes, the script is indeed a Cloudflare thing (whatever that is) I copied the details the last time I tried to get it to work.

WELL - you can monitor them:

 

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com

 

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history 

 

https://downdetector.com/status/cloudflare/map/

 

They fell over and it knocked over thousands of sites that rely on them a couple of weeks ago ! It even trended in twitter. I blocked them for a while, but so many sites won't work without....

I was looking at my encyclopedia & I noticed that my Aeons, who've been used to precog something needed to be unlocked. It also says you need to own 3 or observe 15 in order to unlock the sprite. So I went precogged my eggs and hatchies & it still hasn't unclocked. (I have 8 eggs & 8 hatchies) Is this a glitch? Or do I need to scour the encyclopedia helpers page for some scrolls & hope they have precogged something.

[Stromboli]

I believe if you've observed them (been on their "view" page) recently when they were not in the active form, you won't get a second "observation" from viewing them again once they're glowing. You'll need to find some Aeons you haven't looked at that are activated to get the unlock.

 

(Just set all mine to glowing if you wanna poke a few: https://dragcave.net/group/55232 )

 Thanks not only for the quick reply, I usually find everything I need or have it to unlock things, but somehow I missed those. I did go to their pages after I made mine glow, but it didn't do anything, so I appreciate you taking the time to make yours glow for me! If you need anything, I have everything on my scroll viewable.

 

Thank you again! You're an angel!

 

EDIT: I've now unlocked my glowies! Thank you!! ❤️

Probably because you were on their page just *before* you made them glowing. Individuals count once every 30 days for observations.

For the future, to get temporary sprites of your dragons, do NOT go to their view page. Go to their actions page from your scroll (the /dragons page), use the action that changes their sprite, and THEN look at their view page.

I have a question about the forums. While I know the cultural story behind this cuddly little monster called an "alot", , I am wondering the story behind the censor kipz mascot.  Why is the icon of the censor a Mudkip?

[Dirtytabs]

The critter is from a comic called Hyperbole and a Half

http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

"Alot" is "a lot" missing a space. The  makes it rather obvious it's a misspelling.  

[DragonLady86]

If I remember correctly there was a story about kip years ago. I think it might be the shallow water release and splash intro. I know I missed most of it but someone  took a random comment by TJ and decided it was part of a bigger story. Which evolved exponentially into a massive explosion of spam with everyone adding to it. (Roleplaying belongs in the roleplay section only). TJ closed the topic as spam the came back and added a second closing post with multiple metaphors about the amount of spam. "If this topic was a bucket it would be overflowing" (LOL) sadly most of the "rescue kip" tale had already been removed when I got on so I don't know exactly what happened. Lol but so many warns were handed out it was pretty much an unofficial banned topic. 

 

 

Granted, it might be unrelated to that, but I am unaware of anything else it could have come from.
