Hey all! We've been experimenting with new changes to the forum. I'll list them below, and you guys let me know if you like them as they are or want them changes.
- Sign-in works as a pop-up rather than taking you to a new page
- Shoutbox has been renamed and moved to the top of the page
- Avatars show beside posts
- A pop-up notification will appear whenever someone responds to a post you started (currently looking for script that will allow users to subscribe to posts. no luck yet)
- Improvements made to the FAQ
- You can now choose from an expansive palette for text color when starting or replying to a thread
If you're unhappy with any of the changes, or if there's something you'd like to see added, please let us know!

Aw, no problem boo! It's been fun hunting around for code scraps.
Everyone should bear in mind that the Arkies stuff and the medals under Steph and Alice's name are just placeholders. So don't get jealous. They won't be keeping them.

New additions:
- Automated character submissions. COMPLETE! Click "Submit a Character" on the main navbar to go to a form that has the template for a new character (OC or canon). Filling this out will automatically PM a copy to Steph and post your sheet to the Character forum. You can still do things the old fashioned way, but this should ensure speedier turnaround on submissions.
- Portal, still in progress (design finished, full implementation pending content adjustments), accessible from navbar. We'll be testing the idea of using the portal as a front page, as it will put resources for new players and a feed of latest posts front and center.
- Arkies. COMPLETE, awaiting next awards ceremony. accessible from navbar. Once the next Arkies Awards roll around, winners' awards will appear under their name and in their profile, and this link will let you see all past winners and search by name.
- Compendium, PROTOTYPING, not currently available. This will be accessible via the navbar and basically serve as a Wikipedia-style method for browsing all compendium entries from a single page. Still a long way off, as my HTML/CSS skills aren't yet up to snuff.
- DISABLED expanded colors for replies. The pop-out menu covered up the rest of the quick access components and wouldn't disappear. May reevaluate in the distant future.
