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.

Example sigs:

Vaemyr's custom signature from sigs.guildlaunch.net

Blueice's custom signature from sigs.guildlaunch.net
