Here is a list of recent changes I have made:
-The shoutbox. Pretty hard to miss that lil' chat box on your screen, in what's called the Member Bar. :) It's not real IRC, but it's pretty close and a neat lil toy for us to use. If you find it distracting, you can always collapse the member bar with the "-" button to the right of it.
-Some custom profile fields. Now you can update your profile with some draconity and biography information that anyone can see when they look at your profile. Profiles are much richer than before, so feel free to check some people out! These fields are required for incoming members as part of their application process. It doesn't have to be as thorough as mine, but it'd be nice to have something.
-Staff list. Just a lil thingy that lists the staff members of Draconity.org. On your menu bar.
-And speaking of menu bar, I've reworked that a bit. Moved some things around, and removed some things I didn't think we needed.
-Sister sites are back. Well, most of them. Apparently Dragon's Empire is no longer. DMBH is a bit iffy. So if anyone knows a good choice for another sister site, just get us in touch with eachother. :)
-Some user conversion problems have been resolved. Now everyone who had an account earlier should have a working account now. There should be no more phantom accounts either.
Thinking of artwork, how's the progress at getting the galleries back up? And what about some dragon smilies?
Those are in my to-do list. I was looking at a gallery earlier, but it doesn't do albums. I'd like a gallery structured like our last one. So I'm kinda thinking that I'll install a large gallery system like Coppermine and we can use that. Maybe I can have it accessible still in the forum somehow. I'll have to play with it a bunch.
You can help with dragon smilies by finding me some! You, or anyone really.
