Guild site update: Good and Bad News

I did a major upgrade on the forums and core blog systems earlier this evening, right after the Saturday night Karazhan run. Brought the forums up to phpBB 3.0 RC8 and pushed a huge update for Wordpress from 2.2 to 2.3.1. The latter was the easy part, and with it comes a lot of optimization, tagging features, and a cleaned up news-posting workflow. The forums, however, suffered a HUGE problem… long story short, all the user-accounts are gone as well as the (few) posts that existed. All guild members should re-register their forum accounts (do not click Lost Password; you must create a brand new account). FORUMS HAVE BEEN MOVED! I really apologize! The good news is that I was able to salvage all the forum categories, including the new raid discussion forums for Karazhan! Each person can now create a custom signature that is updated (live!) from the Armory. See below for an example. Again, I’m sorry that the accounts needed to be purged… in the long term this shouldn’t be a problem; it actually helps smooth out the system on the blog end (does that make much sense?) UPDATE:FORUMS HAVE BEEN MOVED! Sorry, but without the WP-United mod, managing passwords would have been a nightmare. You can now save your password for each domain. New forums link is here.

The Noble Knights will now have a place to schedule and sign up for raids, and it’s about time! You can enter the new signup section and add your NK character. For each raid you can select Coming, Not Coming, or Possible. You will also be able to leave a note for the guild for each scenario. Please comment with any concerns. Thanks!Sign up for a raid now!

Blueice and I (Vaemyr) are at BlizzCon 2007 and we’re trying to do a lot of things while still staying in touch with the guild. We met a lot of other folks while at the exhibit hall, all in various stages of raid competence. I’m happy to announce that the Noble Knights have a new website ready (finally!) and I apologize for the delay. It’s been a busy few months! We’re testing some new features of the site and hope to roll out lots of cool toys for the guild to try. For example, Blueice can link her [Kurenai Kilt] and you can mouse over it for the item stats. Very cool! Thanks everyone for their patience. Again, stay tuned for more site features including the raid schedule!
