Thanks for pointing this out I'll fix it now.  
 
Edit: I've changed it to this:
 
 
 
  
I feel this clarifies things best.

If your Fan Club hasn't been approved after 48 hours and it wasn't rejected, feel free to PM a mod about it.

If the former is pony-related, you can post it in Pony Merchandise. If not, you can post it in General Discussion.
 
The latter can go in Pony Merchandise.

You can use that to view old archived pages from MLPF from many previous dates, all the way from 2011 to present day.

Try clicking mark all read down at the very bottom. If that doesn't work, check the very top box (to the far right of "Saved Notifications") and then try clicking that button.

Have you tried clearing your cache? Would be worth a try. If that doesn't fix anything, I'll investigate further.

I'm not sure why you're still experiencing this error, and this issue may require some investigation. In the meantime I've updated your signature for you.

I see what's going on: that link takes you to a topic that was merged into this one. Fixing now.
 
Edit: Fixed. The links on that interstitial page work properly now.

Try clicking the lightswitch button to manually edit the BBCode until it appears normally.

I'm glad that it's working now. Basically, what happened was that some new user groups had to be created as a part of the process for distributing permissions to Christmas donors, and we had forgotten to edit site advertisement settings accordingly for individuals that are now in those groups.
 
Note for admins: If this happens in the future, login to the ACP and navigate to ACP > Nexus > Promotion > Advertisements. Add relevant user groups to exempt group lists under advertisement settings for each advertisement in the active, pending, and inactive categories that already provide an exemption for members. Ignore advertisements that provide an exemption for guests only, administrators only, or no one.

We won't create a group chat/chatroom feature for reasons stated in this post. However, whether or not a one-on-one chat feature would be implemented as a part of some other aspect of Poniverse that may or may not involve MLPF is more open for consideration.

Thank you, this actually is what's going on. I had forgotten about this restriction, but users are not allowed to create polls or vote in polls until they have at least 5 forum posts. This restriction is in place for security reasons.
 
Apparently this was never announced publicly. I will add an addendum to the new member announcement to make it easier for new members to be aware of this fact.
 
, I noticed that you were able to successfully vote in that poll so I will go ahead and lock this topic.

First, you should go to your topic and click the edit button on your original post. You should see it at the bottom of the post, like so:

 
 
Then, you should see an editor page similar to this:

 
 
You should be able to change the title and content of your post, as well as the prefix and tags.
 
If you go to that page and you aren't able to alter those things, please let me know.

If someone had reported themselves I would be inclined to be more lenient, but that doesn't mean the individual wouldn't receive any moderation action. It largely depends on the severity of the offense and the context of the situation.
 
People will never get in trouble for using the report system unless they deliberately spam it or play with it in some way.
 
A self-made report might garner more leniency, but as I discussed earlier that mainly depends on the severity of the offense.
 
There are some situations in which it's useful to report yourself, so I'm glad the feature exists. For example, you might have accidentally posted a duplicate thread, or posted a thread in the wrong section. Reporting it would make it easier for the staff to see it and deal with it accordingly.
 
 
 
Reports are not anonymous, but we never reveal who reported what to non-staff.

There is no way to delete your account, and the administration team is not willing to do it upon request. That's completely fine if you don't like it here anymore, but there's no need to delete your account because of that. If you don't want to use this site, just don't login. 
 
That being said, I'm willing to hide or delete specific content of yours, but I'd consider that on a case-by-case basis. If you're interested in that, PM me, as that would be best discussed in private.

This would violate the rules of Octavia's Hall if you posted it there. Artwork posted there must be created by the topic starter, as explained in its guide. 
 
I'd recommend making this a blog post, unless you can find a relevant topic outside of Octavia's Hall to post the list in as a reply. Due to the personal nature of the topic as well as the fact that there wouldn't be much room for discussion I don't think it'd fit well as a topic.
 
In regard to crediting the artists, doing so is recommended but not required as long as you are not claiming anyone else's artwork as your own.

I just checked the settings for subscribers, and you guys should be getting 3 name changes every 15 days.
 
@Lightwing, , or anyone else: are you still experiencing this issue?

I'll do more investigation into various settings involving the store, payment processing, subscriptions, and so on to make sure there's not something going awry in the processes behind all of this. If I can't figure it out myself I'll notify Poniverse IT.
 
In the meantime, I'll be more than happy to do manual display name changes for anyone who isn't able to change their display name as a result of this issue.

Moderators, administrators, and other staff are people just like everyone else. You're welcome to be friends with whoever you want to be friends with.

Logging into your account on another computer is perfectly acceptable. However, we don't allow creating duplicate accounts, as explained in the Global Rules and expounded upon in this FAQ article.

Animated gifs are allowed as long as they do not flash too brightly or rapidly, or otherwise cause any manner of substantial visual disturbance.

The Debate Pit is a subsection of General Discussion. Therefore, you can only access it by clicking it under the "Subforums" list in the General Discussion section.
 
Please note that you must have at least 40 posts to access the Debate Pit.

Sorry, but this is not currently possible. If you would like functionality for this to be added, please post a topic about it in Feedback & Suggestions.

The user group Ex-Staff: Eternal Champion was set to be hidden from the member list. I changed that setting, so this issue is resolved now.
 
Thanks for pointing it out.

No. This how you view them:
Go to your profile 
Click "Find content." It's to the right under your status update. 
On the left, under "See this member's" click "only topics." You should now be at this page, which is a list of all of your forum topics.

I'll send you a PM about this.
