Sorry about the delay, folks. But I figured a few more things to stuff in here was worth a little bit of a delay.
So here we are: Nick trying to make a decent announcement at 1 in the morning! Andddd... ACTION!
Character Spotlight
A special congratulations is awarded to: Ember Ziarre or as we know her as Samantha, for being our newest spotlighted character!Code Control Panel: Updates
HNZ's [member]Code Control Panel[member] had a couple of changes over the last two weeks. Most excitingly, when you set up your default post styling options you see a live preview of how your posts will look in both themes. So no more excuses for fonts being unreadable in the default theme.
Admin will remove any default styling that is dreadfully unreadable and applied to all posts (not just roleplays).In a less major update, if you are importing code settings from another account - the account that is importing has its options hidden (so there's no confusion about what options are which
).Default Theme: Updates
As many of you likely noticed, the default theme has had some touch ups!
The mini-profile is now more organized and stands out more clearly. The post composition page has restyled BBCode buttons, and a few other minor changes have occurred. Thank you to HelenaZF and Cory for working on the edits (creating all the images, coding many of the areas, helping to refine ideas, etc.).
General Coding Updates
As many of you have surely noticed, student accounts now have a link to their entry in the gradebook system in their mini profile.
Additionally, I want to thank Reid who edited much of our Galleon system code recently in order to reduce the amount of CPU usage we were drawing from our hosting (we were frequently hitting the limit, but since the edits rarely if ever do).
Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 Discussions
Don't do it. Seriously. Some people haven't seen it yet but want to be on HNZ still while they wait. Just post in the spoilers topic in the off topic board. You're safe there. Anywhere else, and I'll eat you.
What the hell is a pureblood?
Your answer is here. In this blog post. Click this link. Right now.
But seriously, it seems a lot of people found the post helpful in clarifying the site docs and what we're looking for - so maybe you will too.
Site Calendar
Ye olde calendar has been updated for up until the Yule Ball. Watch for even more dates to appear in the coming weeks!
This is Halloween
Halloween on HNZ is only remaining open for another day (or thereabouts). Roleplay while you can! Check out the feast!
(Hint: Costume contest preference goes to actual roleplayers.)
Dark?...stone
"Bright"stone is closing for students in the next day or two.
Wrap up your roleplays or regret ever starting them!
Get your Ministry Peeps Out!
The ministry of magic is having a general meeting and your attendance is critical!
