[angelus0901]

Awesome!!

[The Hylden]

Indeed Thanks. It's been so long, I will have to dig up my old signatures, heh.

[Madenice]

Cool! Although, I have noticed BB Color Code doesn't work anymore ? or at least, isn't allowed O.o and it doesn't take the emoticons anymore :O

Are you sure it was working before? Because we didn't change those settings.

Positive! My signature Weee was with rainbow colours and there were a few emoticons.

[Driber]

You're right indeed and I found the problem.

Looks like we have smilies and color BB code enabled for Gamer but disabled for Protagonist. And you recently advanced to Protagonist, so that did it.

This shouldn't be, I'll fix it

Did you guys fix a bug with the promotions system too? I swear I was a Protagonist as of the last few weeks, and now it says I'm a Gamer. (Not that it's a big deal, I'm just curious )

Yes. The promotion system had been a bit wonky; It's working properly now.

[The Hylden]

Hm, so that's it. I actually asked a mod about the very same problem with not being able to change the color of text in my signature ... 2 years ago (it will be next month) -_-. After a few back and forths where it basically was left to no-one knows, but we'll look into it, I said to hell with it and didn't pursue it further.

Maybe now it will finally be fixed.

Aha, funny ^^

[BLOWHARD]

Thanks Driber et al!!!

A little update to the sigimage validator tool.

The tool can now directly upload images from your computer. No more need for the extra Imageshack/photobucket/etc step to get your image on the forum.

Furthermore, I've programmed the validator to also accept images which are too large. It will now automatically make them smaller to fit the signature dimension limits. This should come in handy for those who are not so Photoshop savvy and want to use pre-made signature images found on the web

Sorry for the delay, I've been having a lot on my plate lately.

This is now fixed. Members in the Protagonist and Hero usergroups can now also use smilies and color BB code in their signatures just like Gamers

^ You're welcome

Though this will probably not be of interest to anyone here , thanks to our local graphic wizards Umah Bloodomen and Jerion, we have some brand spanking new shiny mod badges. yay for us

Another forum improvement which you guys probably do find interesting (especially some of you chatterboxes out there!) is that we increased the text limit for Private Messages from 7,000 to 10,000 characters

We had a character limit on PM's? Gee someone has apparently been living under a rock.

Hey, I don't write War And Peace when I PM so I never really stopped to consider it.

See, you learn something new every day.

Nice ! I started wondering what would be next, after running Lara with the boulder

[Driber]

Poor Lara has been running from that boulder for years, we thought we'd give her a rest and send her to some nice tropical island

What is it with you and War And Peace....first you want it, then you don't. Make up your mind, will you

Its good to know that the pleasure was not all mine.

Members who manage to hold out with us long enough to become a Hero (that's the usergroup after Protagonist) may now insert a Profile Picture. We have just enabled it for that usergroup.

Also, all Heros may contact an admin to request a custom User Title if they wish

[MxOAgentJohnson]

This is friggin sweet!

[Madenice]

Oh nice ^^
