I have updated V3 so now everything should be up now. Just tell me here if something is missing or not working like it should. =)
For reference, here's everything that came with V3.1:
- Music Reviews
- Game Reviews
- Colored Staff Names
- Ari's Colored Name
- Spoiler Tag
- Rules Page
- Portal Page
(Note that the banner will come with the next update.)
Additionally, I'd like to wish everyone at Tales RPG to have a Merry Christmas. =)
Version 3 will be released October 29, 2006! A little later than I had hoped for last summer, but earlier than I thought during the end of September. Very close now guys. Only the banner, various coding and a couple icons and smilies are left. Just a couple of notes when I release V3:
* Tales RPG will be closed most of the day on the 29th; if i'm lucky, i'll have it done in an hour.
* The banner may or may not be released on the 29th. It depends if I like the way it turned out or not.
* The portal will not be out with V3 until it's fully tested to work with V3.
* Only the V3 skin will be avaliable for selection (for now).
* All whole bunch of boards will be re-arranged.
I'm probably missing a thing or 2, but when I remember them, i'll add them.
Lastly, I would like everyone to revert to the default skin (the V2 Symphonia skin). This is to prevent any glitches happening when I hide all the skins except V3, which will be changed to the default skin.
I'm sorry I had you all worried, we went on vacation in the middle of June, and we ended up staying up there for 3 weeks or so, and when we got back, we found out our internet was out due to some cable breaking or something, and now they finally fixed it. . I thought I had my brother, Kratos, leave a message that we were leaving, but it looks like he didn't.
Happy birthday to him by the way.
Anyway, i'm gonna be back on working hard this week to piece Tales RPG back together.
I'm not sure when V3 is gonna be released now, due to the big setback. Please post anything you need me to do at Tales RPG and i'll try to help as fast as possible. Again, I apologize for not being here, and i'll be on as much as time allows this summer.
Just so you think I haven't died, I have another 2 1/2 week vacation in August (the 13th through the 30th). However, I think I might be able to get on after the 25th, because we are staying at an internet-accessible hotel (at least it was like that last year).
So yeah. One hectic summer.
One good thing that happened this summer to me? I got a 5 on my World History AP Test.
As we near 40,000 posts and 1 year, 2 months in existence, I would like to thank all of you for being very supportive to Tales RPG. We have gone through many changes over the past year, and you, the members, have made that possible. Last March, I had nearly shut down Tales RPG, due to extreme inactiveness, but due to many new members in April, Tales RPG's activity shot way up from February and March. Help Tales RPG achieve greatness by advertising everywhere and referring many people here. You can help advertise with a banner, or even a link. Codes for these are below, which you can copy and paste into your signatures on every forum you go to. If you are interested in getting your banner/userbar here, please PM me with the image (please host them at ImageShack).
Since you were all begging me to bring back the version 1 skin, I've finally made it an option in your profile area. You are now able to select between the two version 2 skins and the version 1 skin. If you haven't seen version 1 yet, please check it out right now.
Some Changes has been made to the forum. First, I changed my screen name back from hey to Genis to end confusion. Second, I have changed the admin name color to a blue. It should stand out better and is easier on the eyes than the red was. Last, the moderator hover color has been improved so you can see a difference when you put your cursor over the moderator name.
