Good Xorning, 2008!

...what do you mean, it's not 2008 yet? I don't see how that's at all relevant. >_>

Anyways. Been surviving over here in China, eager to get home in July at the earliest, not looking forward -at all- to the finals in these classes.

Listening: Competent.
Speaking, Grammar: Mediocre.

Greetings adventurers!
New forum looks nice.
I came for the mafia and I stayed for the welcome post.

I've used this forum software before, it's pretty nice. Now we just get to wait for everything to get setup as normal.

Aren't all the old topics being ported over?

<Nephrite> That is depressing.
<CmdrKing> I know.  Cid would makea  great princess.

They are not. Primary reason for the move is that the old database was getting too big (nearly 300MB), which increases the likelihood of database errors like what may have nuked the Suikoden mafia topic.

 - Frequently. But only for others.

Hoorah for new forums. These look nice.

Now how do I change my signature/avatar/that sort of thing? Change is sometimes difficult for fake old men.

Profile link at the top of the screen, then "forum profile information" on the left-hand menu bar.

Kyar, found it right after I asked. Thanks, though.

And apparently [size=9] on these forums makes things colossally enormous.[/size]

Er, size 9. Heh. See?

Yeah, that happened with my sig too. The new software uses point measurement for font size (size=6pt, etc), and if you leave off the "pt" you get multiples of normal. Default is 10 point, so size=9pt is no difference at all, size=9 is [size=9]GINORMOUS[/size].

*yawn* Morning. I know the old topic won't be being ported over, but will they at least be saved in an archive like the old, old boards were? (Or was it old, old, old boards? I can't remember.)

Edit: At least, besides the topic in which they already are (the annuals are, but not the weekly in DL Main).

Mmm, new boards look good. Though I hope that Hal can make more themes for it like with the last one, the base one feels a bit... off.

Doma: Hal hasn't said anything about deleting the old boards, so I'm hoping they're not going anywhere.

It's not 2008 yet fuckwit.

Anyway, whoaaaaa.  New forums.  Snazzy.  And they tell you if someone posted while you were reading.  This'll be good for mafia.

Hm.  Back home for the holidays.  Let's see how long it takes for this shithole of a town to revert me back to homicidal maniac. >_>

EDIT:  Holy shit inline edit

Oooh, those buttons at the top change the color of the non-black forum graphics. Nifty.

That'll help for Mafia, certainly.

Mmm...forum switch just in time for my Federal Estate and Gift Tax exam. Everything looks cool though.

I'll get my avatar and sig later in the day after the three hours of hell are over >.>

Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Heeey, something I didn't notice before.

See that little icon of a piece of paper below the "modify" and "delete" buttons on your posts? That's an in-line edit tool. Neat.
