First topic message reminder :

This will be our official updates thread, where I'll be posting our new additions, rank promotions, etc! Stars can be given out to those who participate on this thread. This thread can also be used by guests to ask questions or post their comments.

Zakas will also be posting updates. With the pride, there will no longer be any pack news (phew!) so you'll have to keep updated with reading this thread, as well as the announcement forum. You do not have to post here, however it's always great to get some comments or opinions on things!

Forum Updates
I've been playing around with the forum a bit and added some new things!
If you haven't done so already PLEASE go to your profile --> Notifications and update what you wish to see on the toolbar (the grey mini bar on the right hand side of the top of the forum). This will show you when someone tags you in a post, if you get a PM, friend request, etc.!

- Fixed the toolbar so it's smaller and easier to get to
- Added an @ button to the editor which allows you to easily tag a friend or another user in your post
- Removed the legend at the bottom of the forums showing you what icons are used for locked posts, new posts, etc. since I think it's fairly easy to figure out yourself and removed excess space
- Made the rank legend a little prettier by removing the brackets
- FINALLY if you accidentally close your tab in the middle of a post, do not fret! The website has saved your post, just go back to the topic you were posting on and continue typing as if nothing happened (NOTE* if you clear your cookies/cache between losing the page and coming back on the website, the post will be lost)
- For birthdays, users name will sparkle on the forum for the day and they will receive a birthday avatar to wear!
- Added new PMotM widget along with fixing the site bar (removed weather so we can make it whatever we want in the RP, added affiliates back with a few updates, and moved things around)
- Zakas and Kali have a new tool to post forum reminders! They're a bit more noticeable this time around hehe =P

Anyway that's all for now! Hope you guys enjoy the new features!!

YAYAY FOR goodies!

Love the new features, Kali - especially the saving post thing, it'll definitely come in useful o:

Wow shiny new features! These will definitely be a good addition the site!

Really liking all of the new additions to the forum, Kali! They look great =D I can agree with Fabian as well on the post saving thing on being helpful, can't recall how many times I've lost posts in the past LOL

These are wonderful, Kali! Thanks for taking the time to do these ^^

Jeez I can't keep up with these updates! o3o

But these features are great! I like the use of the notifications with friend requests and such- sometimes I get too busy to remember that lol. I love the new improvements- and am glad we can make the weather up now since that was a little unstable before.

Thanks Kali/Zakas for working hard on ASP! :DD

Rank Updates & New Zaka
So it was a very tough choice for all of us, to be honest I didn't expect such amazing applications this time around! Unfortunately we can only pick one Zaka, but this means there will be more opportunities in the future! If you weren't chosen, there's always next time!
So please welcome our new Zaka....Akira! Congratulations!!

As well, we do have a rank change!
Congrats to Kurai for becoming a Gaunza!

And finally, I have added the Elite survey in Announcements if anyone wishes to fill that out! It's optional and you can fill it out multiple times if you wish, though please leave at least a month between surveys. ^^
I have also allowed homosexual character changes to be bought in the star shop, as suggested by the pride.
An announcement will be made later today about the new rank changes I'll be doing! Have a great @ day!
