There's a checkbox that says "Disable Smiles". Just check that and it disables them.

Does anyone have an idea of when the username-change function will be re-implemented? The processing of tournaments prior to the renovation has been done, so is it possible we may see it return anytime soon?

Shouldn't it be back? The renovation is over so people should be allowed to change their usernames as they wish. I mean it won't slow things down.
Can mods change people's usernames? Cuz I see that someone has a new username....

*cough cough* Kai-U *cough cough*

I have a question, were Kei and Kai-V administrators right when they joined, or did it happen over time?

You Saw The Boss's Name Change? It's Now Kai-U. I'm Pretty Sure They Were Already Administrators When They Joined Smile
Valentin has some special administrative powers since basically everyone is friends with him in the Committee and he helps us on occasions where we are not necessarily online, like at anight.

And no, Kei might have been an automatic Committee Member, but for me it came later.

Although I was friends with Brad back before he opened Beywiki and we did discuss things regarding the site, I actually wasn't on the team from the beginning. He asked me to join at some point in early 2008 and at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to take on the responsibility, but not too long after I decided to accept. You joined the team about a year later in April 2009.

So was Kai-V running BEYBLADE SPIRIT, at the time Beywiki opened up?

I always wondered how the original WBO'ers knew each other, haha.

You go to your User CP, then go to change avatar on the left, finally just choose a link that has the picture you want or if your using your iPod or iPad you can choose pictures from your photos!Smile
Read this thread for help with the User CP. I think this thread should be added to the OP, if it isn't already.
... Have I missed something huge, or is tomorrow not the WBO's 5th anniversary?

It is! I just noticed when a Midnight made his thank you thread. Hopefully the committee has something BIG planned. I have never participated in one of the Anniversary things so if they do it this year I'm all for it!

After being scared myself, I went back a few threads, and Kai-V made the thread on the 4th of December for last year, so my guess is, is that we should expect to see it tomorrow, most likely.
Then why aren't we all FREAKING OUT?!?!?!

Happy anniversary WBO!

I'm so excited... I've never been around for one of these! Grin

Well. I've been found, but haven't had the time. SO I'M EVEN MORE EXCITED! The WBO is the Top Tier in the forum meta game!

Yep tomorrows the WBO anniversary and the day after that is Brad Day!! Smile
Brad Day has basically been replaced, everyone ... We will not have two big days one after the other ...
My 2nd WBO anniversary!!!!

Yeah, hope it's epic. Also...... We're kinda drifting of to Spam. We should be posting in "WBO Random Thoughts".
I was aware of that for a long time now but I'm just saying that if we still celebrated it, it would be on that day Smile

So when is the exact day? Tomorrow?

Like last year, it was on December the 5th, so I'm guessing that is the most likely day for it.

Yeah and for a few years afterwards, hence the Beyblade Spirit threads you can find in the Affiliate News Forum.

The history is slightly complicated, but essentially the timeline of major communities would probably look like this: Street Beyblade -> Off the Chain/Damashii -> BeybladeForums -> Beywiki/WBO. There were countless others along the way like Beyblade Spirit, BeyUK, Ty Kamara, Genocide Beyblade, and LightningRevolver, but it's probably fair to say that those first four/five were the major ones. That's how we all knew each other haha.
