The forum skin

Amongst the stuff we have to deal with on a day to day basis is the absurd number of spam-bots that register around this place. Typically one every 10 minutes or so. No, that's not a joke. Sadly, the anti-spam bot measures are implemented by the theme, and the custom theme that Nagathi built for us ...

Re: Welcome back

I noticed the site was down again the last day or two. Is there any more maintenance and downtime scheduled? You think we schedule this chaos? But more seriously, the downtime over the weekend was both unscheduled and unexplained. I've done nothing since the post at the top of this thread. More sit...

Welcome back

Well, that's been a rollercoaster 10 days. For me anyway. Before I start with anything more interesting, I want to extend some very public and heartfelt thanks to Bob and Rod for helping keep me sane, Eldacar for a lot of server work that even I don't have the powers to do, and the rest of the Lorem...

Forum going offline Monday/Tuesday

Hello, long time no see! Just briefly in case anyone doesn't recognise me, I'm Ricold, I originally installed the forum software we're currently using. Have been a Loremaster, gave that up years ago. About three weeks ago, the Loremasters asked me to help updating the forum software. I did so (a few...

I would like a favour please? Blogging

Hey all, long time. I'm currently involved in a rather silly exchange on my blog. Originally, I was challenged to write thirty blog posts across the thirty days of November (It's called NaBloPoMo if you've heard of it). I decided to cheat. Instead of writing thirty posts in the thirty days of Novemb...

Besides the Fantasy Flight forums, and boardgamegeek, does anyone know of any other sites with forums dedicated to the Warhammer Invasion LCG?

Re: Library of Hoeth - Painting and Modelling

Eldacar is ignorant of the workings of the library, having never really had to use it. I, on the other hand, set it up. Images can be inserted in the normal way via html, if they're hosted somewhere. We can also host in the library. You should be able to upload files via Resources -> Manage Files. T...

Also he would like to let Eldacar in particular know that he strongly disagrees with him still being banned. 7 smaller time bans followed by now three permanent bans (across various accounts) if I recall correctly.

Re: New forums icons

When Tim and I originally designed the skin, we never expected Ulthuan to have sub-forums, so didn't bother skinning them. Hence the two forums with sub forums have different icons. There are two solutions, one of the Lores can re-skin the sub forum icon to a skinned version, or the sub forums can b...
