Ok, so since this board was made, it has proved very popular. So we've tried to make it slightly more user-friendly, since searching for your thread in a mess of 21pages can be a bit of a pain, especially when more people are making threads so that page number keeps changing. So now we have subboards. How fancy are we?
Information On The Change:
Why did you change it? - The old way, basically, just having everyone have their thread in one board, was getting too cluttery (I made a new word) and it was hard to find your bio thread again. This way, it should be easier for you to find, and for other people to find, a certain bio.
Why can I no longer have a separate log thread? - those of you who have separate log threads should have recieved an IM to tell you to move all your log information into the same thread as your bio thread. We thought this was just making the clutter in this board even worse, and there's no problem in having your bio and your log in the same thread. Have separate posts for each if you must, but separate threads are unnecessary. (For those of you who are unsure of what a log thread/post is, it's what some members have to keep track and have a record of the threads they are RPing in.)
Notes For Members Making A New Bio:
You must put your bio in the right subboard - Basically, if your character's name begins with 'B', it goes in the subboard "A - B". If it begins with 'O', in the board "M - P". Any bio threads made in the main part of this board (aka, where this thread is) will be moved, and you will recieve a warning.
If you are going to keep a thread-log, keep it in the same thread as your bio - if you are going to keep a log of all the threads you post in IC, then please do so in the same thread as your bio, and not in a separate thread.
Other than that, we've no other problems with what people have done before. 'Tis pretty simple. =P
Notes For People Who Made Their Bios Before The Change:
Possible Problems:
I cannot find my bio - I moved the threads based on the display name, (the name that appears above your star ranking to the left side of every post) I know that some of you have a different display name for your character and call your character something different when posting, but I moved threads with regards to the username in the Created By box.
If your display name begins with J, then you will find your bio thread in the I - L sub-board.
I checked through the board where it should be, but I still cannot find my bio thread - bear in mind there were 21 pages of threads to move, and I am only human so I do make mistakes. If you cannot find it in the right thread, I might have clicked the wrong subboard to move some threads into, so check the boards above and below the right board, then you can PM me and I will move your thread into the correct board.
My display name is different from my character's name, and I want my bio thread in the board that matches my character's name and not my display name - PM me and provide a link to your bio thread, and I will move your thread for you.
I can't find my bio thread because I don't know my ABC's - my little cousin has a book you can borrow. =P
