Hi Guys, as you can see, the forum is fucked. Proboards upgraded, which we've been putting off for over a year, and now they forced us. ;_; some of your posts are a little fucked up-- they changed the way font colors/formatting is done. If you just go back on anything you want to fix broken tags on, just redo it with our top buttons and it should be OK again, maybe. ;_; We'll post more advice here as we come up with it. In the mean time, please report any fires and we'll try to put them out. <3

****** Chris repost from out KFRP talk thread:
I want to apologize for this effed up transition to the new version of proboards shiznit. I had great difficulty logging on and I'm going to assume anyone who doesn't log on within 24 hours did likewise, and send you and email - try to fix it up.
We'll get into shits as soon as we can.
******
OK, they did some kind of post-process on all old posts - thousands and thousands on this site - to convert to the changes for the new version. That automated process broke the images and formatting on at least hundreds, maybe thousands of posts.
Good times! Obviously we aren't going to go in and edit every single one of those, as busy as we are. We'll focus our fixes on the newest games being played - current chapters and such. But you will have to re-learn how to code images and fonts and such, just as we will.
Thanks ProBoards!
Also, go into your profiles and get rid of those percent signs and garbage that happened there, and more importantly, make sure all of your privacy settings are where you prefer them to be. Right now my email is exposed and I'm not sure it was like that before.
You will not have our fun gender options anymore, so hide your gender to remain cagey if you like, and if it's even possible. I know very little about the new version at this point.
Anyone who can read this but can't log into the forum right now, e-mail me at borfymaster(at)gmail(dot)com and we'll try to unfuck your world so we can get back to having fun. ******

OK I added a pronouns section to your profile if you'd like to use that. Don't know how to get our neat little icons working again tho. Also-- sorry for binary shits on profiles, please hide them as you like.

I just found out something about nesting tags. For this example, replace parentheses with brackets:
This: (font color=cornflowerblue)(i)text(/i)(/font)
works better than this: (font color=cornflowerblue)(i)text(/font)(/i)
...if you can see what I did there.

@ Christopher - That's interesting! So the order of the tags is importante. Eh, that explains all my random [/i]s after the conversion.

I fixed some of those for you, DeeK.
As for having to learn a New World order on formatting, we may not have to. I just made a new post using our old formatting code, and that still works.
Which makes me wonder why effin' Proboards felt it necessary to go through our archives with the automated fuck-everything-up machine.

Thanks. It's a little annoying since I have multiple board accounts but it works alright.

Jara - Not sure what you mean. Are you on other boards that use the ProBoards service and got similarly messed up? As for works alright, one thing you enjoy isn't working yet - dice rolls - and we're pretty far from OK with most of the changes ourselves. But I'm glad if otherwise things are working OK for you on your end.

I haven't been messed up that much by the update. Sometimes words I type don't show up, so I have to re-type them. It's a little slower, but tolerable.

GROAN. Well I tried to get things looking less 'bubbly' and 'web 2.0', but still working on it. Had to nuke like, a hundred instances of arial font. Yuck! Georgia or GTFO! The board kind of looks giant still, doesn't it? Please let us know if you need any help.

Jara - I found out you can unlink accounts in your universal proboards profile shit. I don't remember how I did it, but maybe you can puzzle it out.

Some people had this %\?% nonsense showing up near their avatars. I fixed that on your profiles. Hopefully that didn't also cause any strange things to happen in itself.
