New Discussion Area

January 25th, 2011 by Wiltrichs under General

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I’m really busy with work at the moment, but it should all sort itself out soon.

As someone pointed out (thanks again Andrew), there isn’t a dedicated area for people to discuss things, post pictures of their work etc. The comments sections is useful but very basic, you can’t organise it and at some point it’s going to get lost as the blog grows.

So I have installed a thread plugin for the blog, now there is an area where we can share links, for example: your Imperial Fist photos. You have to register to use it, but it should keep things more organised.

CLICK HERE

It’s not intended to be a full on forum, just a place to share ideas and where we can chat more easily.

Cheers

W.

P.S. One thing I ask is that if you post photos, can you host them on a site like http://www.photobucket.com and use  the [img] links code to show photos. Just to save on my bandwidth.

      There are a couple of display problems with text/links at the moment but it’s pretty much there I think. I’ll have a play around later this week if I get a chance.

      If anyone uses it in the meantime and has problems, let me know.

      Cheers

      Hey Sam, has the email come through yet? If you haven’t, I can email you a temporary password, just to get you in and then you can set it to whatever you like your end once you’ve logged in.

      Cheers

      Wil :)

      Hey Sam, I’m still trying to find my way around the new forum plugin, but I think you go here http://en.gravatar.com/ register your email (make sure it’s the same one as you use on here), attach the photo and it should show up for both the discussion area and the blog too. That is what I did anyway when I first set the blog up.

      If that doesn’t do it give me a shout and I’ll see what I can do.

      Cheers

      Wil :)

    I’ve added a gravatar image, but it’s currently displaying the default. Let’s see if it updates over time.

    There seems to be a problem with the plugin not sending some people password emails, so they can’t login. So far it just seems to be people with hotmail accounts, so if you register and haven’t received the email, let me know and I can sort it out for you.
