April Announcements - [link]
The v5 conversion is finally finished. There was a glitch regarding the transition that caused some of our threads made prior to 2013 to be lost which is why the board was in Maintenance Mode for so long. The information was restored, but the board listings where it shows how many threads and posts are in each board/sub-board are inaccurate. The Proboards' staff is aware of this as this issue happened on several boards, to they are looking for a fix. In the mean time, we will just have to deal with it. Please make sure that all of your personal threads are where they should be, just in case.
There are a few changes that still need to be made, but they can be done with the board open. Several codes do not work with the new v5 coding and others that we have are not fully functional.
- Custom background colors can no longer be used. I have a request for a plugin that allows this, but no one has responded yet.
- Color smears in threads are not working. Custom title smears were removed for now because they were effecting the titles of those without them.
- Both the footnote code and the whisper code are no longer available.
If you have coding issues in your character profile that need addressed, please PM Cain/Kiba; do not post these specific changes in the moderator request thread.
The News Desk, Game Board, and Profile Registration Board, have undergone some minor changes in that they have new sub-sub-boards to better organize them. The News Desk now has two sub-boards, one for current announcements and one for archived announcements. The Game Room has been split up into four sub-boards: Games, Contests, Polls, and Mini-RP boards. Finally, the Profile Registration board is now the Registration board with three sub-boards: Character Registration, Ability Registration, and Item Registration. Updated information threads will be made to address the additions of the Registration board.
There are also new rules being made to address recent changes to the forum regarding both v5 and the recent system changes made by Cain.
Any questions regarding the new changes should be asked in the Q&A thread where people can reference them in the near future, rather than in the box where they most likely will not be seen by everyone. [link]

In addition, because Proboards has changed the way boards and categories are numbered, it appears all links will need to be updated to prevent rerouting issues and lag. For members, this means you will need to update profile links in your signature. Staff will work on updating all the relevant information in the Help Center threads as well as any other reference material.

There may be some cache issues within threads. If a thread is missing posts or pages, do a test post. That should bring back the missing posts. Afterward, simply delete the test post. If it does not work, PM Cain/Kiba.

This is a test of the background color code I received on the PB support forum. Instructions on how to use it are listed at the top of the posting page when you go to reply or create a thread. It doesn't appear to change the entire background of the post, but rather the area in which the text is placed. If you have questions on how to use this code that isn't addressed by the information at the top of the posting page, please PM me.

Secondary and Associate Characters will begin being graded tomorrow.
Also newsworthy - when creating threads and/or editing one's first post, under the gear for options, users in the Registration board will find Labels, one marked Work in Progress and the other Ready to Grade. Users must now use these labels, rather than mark [WIP] or [Ready] in the thread title, in order to have the thread graded. It is requested that users still mark Second and Associate profiles with either [Second] or [Associate] in the thread title where necessary.
Labels available in the RP boards are 'Past' 'Present' 'Mini-Event' 'Closed' and 'Plot Event'. Users are recommended to make use because boy are they nifty! Also they will allow other users to separate threads by category according to the labels. Mm, uses!

Addendum because I forgot to say this yesterday - Any characters from before the current changes who are displeased with their stat caps bound should post in the Moderator Request Thread, copying your current skills and caps and requesting the new Stat Caps, or simply to have the listed Caps removed, as others have. Players may NOT request re-distribution of their stat/skill points.

Color smear should now work in posts.
Edit: Colored names will be down while I transfer info to the new plugin.
Edit #2: Colored names should be back online.
