Welcome to the Ultima Online Roleplaying Community Forums!

The Forums are currently in flux at the moment, so expect things to change randomly and without any warning at times. I appologize for this state of affairs, but I am learning a new forum system.

Thank you! :D

I'll be adding an IRC client and such in the nest few days, and continuing to replicate the Forum's blue style throughout the site. I never bothered to learn style sheets, nor do I have a powerful HTML editor anymore.. So im doing this by hane.. It will take a bit. :Anxious

I'm not sure if we'll ever get a character database like Tomes had; and even if we do, Im not convinced it would ever be compatible with the Forums like the old one was. But if anyone has experience with PHP and SQL databases.. PM me..

Oh, yes.. we have a PM function on the boards... Don't go too crazy with it :lol:

Definatly use the forums tho.. The RKR ones are just begging to be used.. :!:

I'll warn you now though, the calendar is BUGGY. There is nothing I can do about it. It took me forever to find a free calendar that would display an actual monthly calendar like this one does with a nice interface, and that could handle recurring events. I'll *try* to add my own text to the calendar page soon, not sure how that will turn out (expect it to break).

I'm trying to get an auto news to forum poster working, so the site will be similar to Stratics (Actually, it uses the same programs). There is currently a connectivity issue with the SQL database that runs the forums and Coranto (the news program). Ive messaged the creator of the linking program and he said he'd take a look at it for me... I'm grateful that the coders of these open source programs are so friendly and helpful. If only the UO Devs would be so open.

I should get back to pretending to care at work now.. :Brick Wall

Expect Poster Titles to be added later tonight.

These will be based on how many post you've made. Expect the titles to be sarcastic and snarky. :twisted:

Please leave requests for board features in this thread as well. We already mirror or exceed most features found on the other UO boards, but I am always willing to look into adding more.

Otay.. Forum title will not be coming tonight.. Sorry.. :cry: Just looked through the install doc.. Its a lot of work to add this feature to an already heavily modified forum theme.

I will work on this, this feature WILL be added.

I will also be adding Spoiler code for posts, so you can hide text if you are explaining something about a quest or plot but only want the people who really want to read it to see.

This is an example of the 'Spoiler=' button. To create a hidden spoiler in your posts, simply hilight your text and then click that button. Whoever reads your post will have to click on the black box or the 'Reveal' link to see what you have typed.

This will be useful for giving out quest, event, or plot information in such a way as to not ruin the experience of others who wish to read the thread but not see every detail.

Enjoy!

Spoiler Example:
[spoiler=]You have been spoiled, like a lost six month old easter egg![/spoiler]

*runs off to work on forum titles*
