A place for us to just chat I guess. Since we are all pretty chatty, lol. *grins*

You can actually add a chat box to this forum. Legion used this same provider to coordinate raids on other towns. It's quite useful to have.

We've used MSN messenger in the past, but this may be an easy solution to simplify things rather than adding dozens of people into your messenger account. TPL, you know how to set that up?

I'll have to check the old forum and try to figure it out. It's as simple as clicking a box beside 'Add chatbox' but it takes a litte searching through the administrative controls to find it.

i was just shot in the face, just so you know. the elephant did it.

Thanks Pyjamas and TPL. That will make it much easier. Does the chat box keep chats in it even when we're not logged on for the chat? Or is it like normal chat to where you can't see past chats unless you were logged on for them?

Um... Lol

The second part I believe. It's like an Instant messaging system, but group chat style. With the exception that those of you with moderator power can ban/delete chat and stuff like that Smile

Very snazzy.

TPL, the chat does have an archives option next to it and I saw where you said you were looking for a way to take the stone look off of the forum. I don't know how, but I have been looking for some forum themes that are similar to this one that you might like. I don't know how to add the themes, but thought you might know. Here's a few and this site has a ton in case you don't like any of these.

You can click on demo to see if you like them or not. *smiles*

Figured I'd try to save you some leg work while I had the free time. I think TBH said if he had time he knows how to do this kinda stuff, dunno if this is what he was talking about though. *grins*

I like the wood one. Now let's see if I can figure out how to incorporate it Smile

Hahahahahaha!!!

This sucks!!!

Forumotion has it set up so you can't upload themes from any other site besides hitskins, but I searched for a way around it. So I am now literally uploading every little picture by itself. Oh ya, so much fun.

Ok I touched it up as best as physically possible.

It was super hard considering this site uses colors and won't allow images to be substituted in for the colors in certain areas, so basically I just went for it.

Haha, so let me know if you see anything wrong.

I think this new look is better on the eyes and everything is cleaner IMO....

Easy on the eyes.

I like it, TPL! I think it looks very nice. I likes the other theme as well, but the stone work on the headings made it hard to read. This one works much better. *smiles*
