As you may have noticed, the board looks a little different. We were recently upgraded to a newer version of ProBoards. What this means is that the interface was slightly changed, and all the posting stuff and admin controls were shuffled around all over the place.
In terms of functionality, I've only noticed a few important differences.
1. You can like people's posts now. I guess this is useful to someone, right?
2. You can navigate between boards more quickly. See up above where it says Lands of Intrigue > General Board (or possibly ... instead) > Forum Help > Forum "upgrade"? If you hover over Lands of Intrigue it brings up a menu to jump to different boards. This would probably be more useful if we were a bigger forum with more than an occasional post here and there, but whatever.
3. I've had to completely redo the way private boards work. Noj and I discovered last night that he couldn't access his private RP board. To circumvent this, I've created a unique member group for each of you: Hellfire Warlock, Dread Necromancer, Bladesinger, Monster of Legend, and Gorilla Lord. I'm sure you can guess which is which. By putting you in that group and enabling only myself and members of that group to access your board, that should resolve the issue. Please let me know if it does not. Also, if you want me to change the name of your group, just let me know.
