Thanks Josh... it has been a painful ordeal. I am hopeful these boards and indeed this website will be viewed as an improvement to the prior efforts.

Thanks for all the hard work you guys have been doing to give us a new home. You're all on the list for a round of the good stuff at Origins next year.

Thanks for the hard work getting the site and forums back up.  We've been trying to hold down the fort for you over at Mini Realms.  We had requests for the Warzone FAQ, we did the best we could by posting a version of it I had saved but it was not completely up-to-date so I know people would appreciate getting an up-todate FAQ posted when you have time.

I have a version of it which was probably the latest one. I will be posting it later today. Thanks for holding down the fort. We appreciate it.

We are not sure as to what format we are going to be putting it up in. But if trying to print it and say it is colored what you can do is copy the text and paste it into word. you can then change the color of text there.

To Jim,
   I am not sure about the format yet but I will try for something easy on the eyes. As Anubis said, you can certainly change it easily enough. How you would do it would be to select the text (select all) and copy it. Go into Word (or somehting similar) and paste it. Now it will be the color it was online. So select all again and change the text color in your word program to default and you now have it in black. Hope that helped.

To Coil,
   Yes, I know what you mean. I felt like a bit of a refugee with nowhere to call home and no way to share news. Thankfully that is behind us now. Glad to be back.

@J.P.  Yes, I should be working instead of prowling on this forum all day.  But it beats pushing papers, dunnit?

Thom,  I likely won't be able to make Southern Exposure.  Too much to do and too little free time..If I can swing a day trip I will stop by.  Otherwise my gaming will be comprised of last minute local games and possibly a November Thanksgiving weekend small game day that my local group is looking to throw together. Beyond that, I'm definitely trying to make Dreamation for my next weekend long convention.
Thanks,
Mike

For some strange reason I could not access the forum from work.  Must be a filter.  Anywho, I am here now!  Yippee! :o ;D

Title: Re: Forums and Website lookin' good.
Post by: Alxbates on September 19, 2005, 10:32:10 PM
Yep, I'm glad these forums are back up, too. 

I know I whinge occasionally, but I do love Chronopia, and every time I've ever spoken with Thom (or Lance) they've been very friendly and helpful - traits sadly rare in this industry.

Glad you're back, and keep up the good work!  The new Chronopia releases are awesome!

Hurray for the new forums!

Like the look so far, and appreciate that many sub-sections that never saw much traffic and only made the furum look cluttered have been cut.

If you look at the top right of the page when you click on a thread, there is an icon there called print.  Click on it, it will you give a black and white copy of thread all in one document in a new window.

The forum looks excellent! Really professional looking and not overly crowded with subforums. This is really better than the previous one  8)

There's just one more thing that this forum really needs - Chronopia/UWZ-relevant smilies...

Let me elaborate: Coki (http://forum54.oli.us/index.php?action=profile;u=16), in his unspeakable awesomeness, has lately created small smiley-sized pictures of the different Chronopia and UWZ factions. You can see an example of these in this thread in the Chronopia Deutschland forum (http://www.chronopia-deutschland.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=601). It's in German, obviously, but pictures (however tiny) don't need no words.

Now, if we all worship Coki and his mad smiley skills, I hope he might agree to have those things ported onto these new forums as well. And that, my friends, would be the bomb...  ;D
Title: Re: Forums and Website lookin' good.
Post by: T Prime on September 20, 2005, 06:37:11 PM
I would love to see that too. I will see if Coki would mind sharing them.

No Problem.

The Warzone images in this thread: http://www.chronopia-deutschland.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=604

The images are binding in the message board as smilies.

Extra commendation comes from the fact that the new message boards now adhere to W3C standards and actually validate as valid and standard Transitional HTML. There are TOO MANY sites around the net that are so far from the approved standards that they either show incorrectly in certain browsers or don't show at all.

Valid HTML has been a pet peeve of mine for years and I'm feeling warm inside everytime I see a web-site that follows standards and therefore will show similar to the point in all browsers supporting those standards.

Thanks for that... probably a minor thingie for most out there.  ;D
