NK admins don't seem to like images in signatures.

They've probably disabled it.

Well Joey9001 has the ban hammer now.

How can I delete my post? No seriously, I'm for real.

Can he use it, by the way?

No, don't test it on me.

You can delete posts by clicking Edit > Delete.
Though threads can only be deleted by amdinis, so you have to PM one of them and they'll get to it. ((I think that term stuck to me when I lurked))

How do you change [individual] text size? It doesn't work when I use BBCode.

Also color changes for posts (Content) in User Settings doesn't work.

As for color, the code is shown below.



If you mean color as in background theme, Ninja Kiwi said that they're working on it.

I've seen spoilers with titles. For example, this...

Spoiler:

You looked and you should be ashamed.

...but the word "spoiler" is replaced by something like "Upgrades" (taking the BMC encyclopedia as an example). How is this possible? Can it be done with BB Code or do you need to paste in the full, very annoying HTML code?

Exactly, thank you.

Something that bothers me way more than it should:

For whatever reason, there's always a difference of 1 between the number of members online and the number of avatars shown in the What's Going On panel.

For example, in this image, it says there are 12 members online, but only displays 11 avatars.

A couple problems. Advanced editor doesn't show up in mobile, and thus I can only make posts thru BBcode (which is no problem for me as I love BBcode). When I make a signature though, the BBcode transforms into HTML code, requiring me to retype this extremely complicated signature right here. Also does BBcode/HTML work on biographies?

Hi there! I have a question.

My BMC account is somewhat old, like from when the game first came out.
Back then there was no engineer tower yet so I expanded my city without much thought but now that I came back, saw that the new towers appear really close to the city and so that land is already conquered and can't aquire it any longer. Is there any way for me to get these towers?

are steam and ios/android compatible to play in a private match?

Yes (though I'm not 100% sure about BTD5 if you're including that.)

I'm not fully understanding the problem here; perhaps you forgot some aspects of the game?

To build something, such as the Engineer building that you seem to be worried about, you just need some captured land to build on, enough money to purchase it, and enough power to support the building. There's no requirement on the land being close to the centre of your city or anything. Anything enclosed by a fence is land you've already captured, so if you have none left, you'll have to either capture more (anything just outside a fence is available to attack), or destroy some buildings to clear space. Money can be obtained by collecting it from farms, and also as rewards from capturing tiles. Finally, about the power requirement - if you don't have enough, you'll need to build some windmills or watermills to provide you with more.

Hope that helps
