The World of Avlis

Alright! Phew! The forums and wiki are migrated to a different hosting package and upgraded as well. The forums are still a work in progress as we look to iron out issues and work out some functionality. A couple things right away. The old style/theme didn't survive the migration as it was incompatible. Currently the default prosilver style is turned on for the forum for everyone. Under Board Settings there is also a darker theme called Black. It may need some tweaks to look right but out of most of the phpbb 3.2.5 themes available it was one of the only ones that looked ok. We can always add or look at another as well. The banner at the top is.. outdated! So I think we should look at having the community create one if possible that could universally fit across the board themes? We could have a contest even.



Next! The old forum calendar functionality did not survive the migration for the same reasons above.. lack of development so it would no longer work. The new calendar replacement is the best one we could find. It integrates with your forum posts specifically per forum. When you create a new forum post, there is a calendar tab available with the first new post. This gives you calendar options. If you create a post in your private guild forum with calendar options, that event will be place on the calendar. Only people with access to that forum can see the calendar event which is handy. If you want a calendar event more visible to people, such as a trade fair, it will need to be posted from a forum with more visibility such as a Ferrell Marketplace for example or General Discussion. If you don't see a calendar tab for your forum and want those options, please reply to this post. We'll be turning it on for all private guilds and ic forums where it makes sense as well as a few ooc forums too. It just may take a day to get through.



If something does not work on the forum or on the wiki, please let me know either here or in a pm. If something is missing, let me know. There are a couple things still to be put back on the main page as well, it just may take a day or so.
