Forum Upgrade - The forum been updated to 2.2.2 over a month ago. Customization of the entire forum nearly complete. The webmaster will finish skinning the Popular Series section of the forum when possible. Are you wondering if the banners submitted during the banner contest will be used? Currently, the resolution of the forum too big for a banner submitted by a member in the summer to be used. We are undecided what will happen. You will know what we decide when a skin up and view the banner being used in that forum.
Live Chat - Live Chat customization should be complete, with a problem here and there. You can report a error to me through PM. We hope you enjoy the Live Chat being back to it's former color. If you would like a icon or an avatar added to Live Chat. PM me and I'll see what I can do. You must be a Live Chat regular to get an avatar and the avatar size would be 34x34. The emoticon you request should match the current emoticon set.
Member Group - Since the member groups, mainly the staff groups, have been going through changes. I will break down each group for you and what their specific purpose would be on the forum.
CEO & President - Webmaster of the forum and the site. No longer the Administrator of the forum. The webmaster handles the skinning and customize of the forum. He's inactive on the forum. He won't respond to a PM involving the forum or Live Chat. Go to an Administrator or Co-Administrator for a problem on the forum or Live Chat.
Administrator - The Administrator runs the forum. Talk to the Administrator for any error or problem you might be having with the forum, Live Chat, or a modification. You can PM an Administrator for a different display name.
Co-Administrator - The Co-Administrator(s) serve the role of Administrator when the Administrator inactive. The Co-Administrator a Global Moderator while the Administrator active. You can PM a Co-Administrator for a different display name.
Global Moderator - Moderates the entire forum and Live Chat.
Board Moderator - Moderates a specific forum.
Chat Moderator - Moderates Live Chat.
Advance Member - Grant a member access to the blog. (It's set as a secondary group. A Member's secondary group changed to Advance Member while their primary group remain Member. No point separating a regular member from the rest of the community.)
Member - The standard forum group.
Chat Probation - Restricted from Live Chat.
Probation - Restrict certain privileges of a regular member.
New Member - Unactivated member account.
Validating - Unactivated email verification.
Banned - Banned from the forum.
The groups are subject to change in color and title, but that's the general purpose of each and every member group and the purpose of these groups are unlikely to change in the near future.
Modification - You all should have notice the modification added to the forum. Just look at the top. You can ask a question involving a specific modification in their respective topic. A link to a topic dealing with that modification topic will be provided below. Just click the name to reach the topic.Report an error, wait for me to get back to you. Be patient and wait for me to look into the problem.
If you would like to report an error involving the Arcade, AtkShop or Shoutbox then PM me or make a topic in the Q & A Forum, which you can locate here.
Addition to the Popular Series Forum - You all should be aware of the addition of the Tales Series Forum and Kingdom Hearts Series Forum. You can reach the forum of your choice by clicking the title of that forum. You can comment on the new addition in the temporary pinned topic in each forum.
New Emoticon(s) - New emoticon have been added to the forum.
If you would like more, just send them to me, but I won't guarantee I'll get them up. They need to match with the black background.
Sorry for the delay in the announcement. I wanted the member group situation straighten before making an announcement. Every thing on the forum should be working, but report a error if you encounter a error. I hope you like what's been done with the forum. I hope you enjoy your experience on the forum today and in the future.
Thank you all for your time.
