- All issues involving posts being cut off and apostrophes having been converted into odd characters should now be sorted. :)
- Avatars previously uploaded have also been fixed

I'll get to work on the wiki oddities.

I have not completely read through Lo's Journal again, but at page 1 it seems fine. It's gonna take time for me to get used to a new board design, if you believe you can get an old design template as the Avlis boards did, that would be nice =P but that is the least of my worries. As for other features, is the player tracking system still available on the boards? I'm so used to using it once again lol.

It'll show the number of players/dms online on the top right-hand side on some pages (forum/topic view), I'll try to get it added to the others later. :)

You can still get it here:

What ever you did fixed the problem Thor and the link works as well. Nice to see who is on line at any given point in time.

Hi Thor,

Love the new forums especially the fact that my saved box has much more room now :D. Though I could not find the red button for server down. And For some reason Mine is showing no Birthdays today where as Another account shows its Terry's Birthday.

Thanks.

Soulkey

Another PM feature is folders. I've upped the max# of pms you can keep(We've got the space). Feel free to organize. Also as you can tell it tracks birthdays. Feel free to update your DOB so we can all point out how old you are!!!

The big red button!

Some of you may have noticed this feature is still absent, even though it is important for times when the server goes offline. Well, good news and bad news! Bad news is the big red button won't resurface because of... the good news! The process is now automated. :D

There's a script running on a remote server that will automatically report server outages to those who can reset the server. ;)
