Master Applications Page
After considerable confusion regarding the location of applications, one master applications page has been created. This page can be found here. It is still being worked on, but you are free to use it while I work out how to make it better, more usable, more helpful, and more visible.
New Application Redirect
With many application forms, previously, when the form submitted the application page would redirect to a rules topic. Not only did this confuse some, it was often somewhat illogical. Now, applications should redirect to a page which gives information on estimated wait time for application approval, any more additional information, and indicates that the submission was successful. If your browser does not redirect you, it is possible (and likely) the submission was not successful and then you should PM me to verify.
Skype Profile Field
Thanks to a suggestion from Olivia, a profile field has been added for you to input your skype username if you so desire.
You can view this change here.Reorganization of Account Editing Page
With the above, I found an easy way to code pages to reorganize existing content (as I wanted the skype field to be grouped with the other, default, messenger fields). With that, I re-organized the account editing page to separate in-character and out-of-character information, then put headings above each.
It's a small change, but hopefully a slightly helpful one. You can view this change here.Graduation Dates Documentation: Updated
The Graduation Dates documentation received a major update this past week - with tonnes of new names being added! A big thank you to Kaitlyn for putting that together.
Do you see something missing? Something wrong? If so, PM a member of the site staff with specifics and we'll look in to it for you.
Easter Egg Hunt: Concluded
With the conclusion of HNZ's first ever Easter Egg Hunt I'd like to thank everybody who participated, those members of MESSI who helped plan, the site staff for helping as well, and offer a final congratulations to you champion hunters out there that completed the task!
Kudos!Graphics Competition Results
A big congratulations to Liberty Barnett for winning HNZ's 21[sup]st[/sup] graphics competition! You can view voting results here.
New Affiliated Board: Could mean big things?
As you may have seen on HNZ's Affiliates Page - we have a new affiliated board!
CAUTION is a popular roleplaying resource board, and with this affiliation comes the fact that you can now link to caution on HNZ (a little). "So what?" you ask? Well, it's simple. Now users can use the resources provided by caution which link back to it. Templates exist for biographies, relationships page, forum game ideas, plot summary pages, etc.
So where this was a dilemma to some degree before - it should no longer be.
Brightstone Weekend
Tomorrow is the first Brightstone weekend for students of HNZ in semester two! So get ready for some shopping! But be sure to wear a jacket, because it is also the start of Autumn!
Yearbook Superlatives: Nominations
Yearbook Superlative nominations are open (thanks to Hilde Lindstrom, Yearbook editor). Be sure to read the rules topic, then nominate! Click here to get started
The Tri-Wizard Tournament
Task #3 for the Tri-Wizard Tournament should be under way this week (we're estimating it to be Thursday). So get ready for the biggest task yet!
(And hopefully Mike won't throw sparks and let HNZ down... again. 
)Hiring: Potions Professor
