Yui-chan Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 Pennites, Ask and ye shall receive! The Mighty Pen Portal, recently on long hiatus due to the vagarities of a major board upgrade, has finally returned to organize and unify us. There will (inevitably) be tweaks and changes now that our dear friend is back, so if you have a specific request, please leave a comment and let us know. We may not have code-monkey gurus around our community (much ), but we do have an abundance of stubbornness, a plethora of determination, and a few bushels of love with which to make things happen. So, let's make this a proper return and resurrect the old Portal introduction. Enjoy! Greetings, Pennites! So many great events happen here, so many interesting and fun activities, useful projects and community efforts, that it's starting to get hard to keep everything in mind. Here to solve any forgetfulness is the new, easy-to-use Mighty Pen Portal, the front page that will contain all the top tidbits of information and reminders of threads and events that need your attention. "Where's the forum?", you ask? Well, it's right where it's always been. Just click on the Forums link in the Site Navigation box to the left, and you'll see the view we're all familiar with and fond of. This page isn't a change, it's an addition, a cover sheet that sits over top of the exact same Pen you've always seen. You'll notice that on the left you can find new posts, display of any personal messages waiting for you, your control panel, the search bar, and even some hopefully-helpful links! Handy, compact, and all in one place, the Portal will be a useful tool for your peers in the Tower and Guild Halls to draw your attention to the most important Pen happenings. So... sit back, relax, and take a few seconds to get acclimated. Let us know what you like and don't like. Let us know what should be changed, added or subtracted. We of the Tower and Guild Halls are here to serve you, so don't be afraid to ask for more features or changes to existing ones. Thank you, and welcome to the Mighty Pen Portal. Yours, ~Yui-chan ... on behalf of your Loremaster, Elders, and GuildLeaders... Still Yours, ~Yui-chan ... still on behalf of your Loremaster, Elders, and Guildleaders...
Wyvern Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Nice to see the Portal back. Minor thing to edit: I notice that the "Forums" link in the Portal currently links one to the Portal rather than the forums, though the "Pen is Mightier than the Sword" link takes one to the boards. I logged into the Admin CP to try and correct the "Forums" link, but didn't dare touch the coding stuff when I saw it there. Not a major thing, but something to correct when some admin with coding skills has a second. Anyway, thanks a bunch for reinstalling it Yui. :-)
Yui-chan Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Posted September 11, 2006 Fixed, I think. Thanks to everyone who pointed that out. Please let me know if there are any more problems. Yours, ~Yui
