UPDATES - April 15, 2008 « Thread Started on Apr 14, 2008, 10:07pm »
I know 3 days closed was a lot. I appologize for that. I ran into server problems while trying to move the board around. There have been a load of changes, I think to make the board easier and smaller to search.
I moved all the links to the far left and categorized them with useful names. It now starts with the screenname changer, followed by the admins, the useful links, in character links, and finally resources for roleplaying. This is so you don't have to be on the main page for these items. You'll notice that the archives are only listed on the left this was to avoid having a board that seemed to scroll on forever. If I place one of your threads in there, just either pm the other players, instant message them, or use the attention/plot planning board to let them know that you've posted and its there turn. The main page board has the current rpg dates, and news. The images on the board have been changed to speed up time when opening. I hope you like them. Many of them are now images from movies 4 and 5, since they were ideas brought up in those movies. Instead of the announcements thread, the sorting rpg information will have role call, birthday list, absence messages, and what not, besides the usual rules, faq, templates, list of spells, and class schedules. The four houses have been moved into the category of Iside Hogwarts, again it makes the board seem smaller. The written word is where you will find journals and the daily prophet. Everyone is welcomed to write in the daily prophet, and I'll give further details on that. Under that is the OOC area. That's for general chit chat, sharing fanfics & art, and of course advertisements. Finally, the we have a new feature. This one is for when a thread needs to continue on a new page. You'll notice the word fork. For example Clare and Katie want Akibe and Harris to leave the great hall to snog/shag. When they are ready to leave the great hall they can push the fork button. It will give them a drop down menu of where they wish to place the new thread and even an option to quote the last reply. In their new message, the title of the previous thread and link to it will be supplied. However, someone will need to provide a link to this thread in the older post. So either you'll need to contact the person who had the last message in the older thread to put a link in their post to the new post OR get in touch with an admin who can edit other people's works.
Also you can use this to pm a person about something wrong with their thread without having to alert them in a post. Say they said you were wearing blue instead of black. you can push fork, select pm, and quote. Then you can just state their message, and they will be able to fix it much faster.
I am well aware that this is a lot of information. If you have any questions please leave them here and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
One final note, I'm trying to find out another feature, so I can restore the calender on this site.
