Since I am now admin, I figured that some changes were needed to be made for the forums.
Proboards has now upgraded to v5 for improved functionality. We would be forced to update at the end of the year anyways, so I figured why bother waiting and just do it. I changed the forum's theme to try and match the previous one's as close as I can, but I can only do so much since it would be impossible to completely replicate the old one.
That said, some things are gone now. The HP Bar function, avatar posting change, and name colors no longer work. I don't know if they'll ever be back up unfortunately. You can still post the old HP Bar code if you want just to know what HP you and your opponent has though. It just won't be as visually attractive.
Some things I did add and change are some rather minor things in comparison, but I figure it's nice for you guys to know.
I replaced the chatroom with the shoutbox now placed on the bottom of the forums. Now we don't have to worry about reactivating the chatroom when it's not in use and it's all in one place. It's easier to access too, so it would be easier to instantly talk to anyone on the forums assuming they read it. So, I hope you all will use it.
I added some icons for the board for stuff like new posts, hot threads, locked threads etc. If you care to know, these were the same icons from caliburforum when that was running.
I changed the titles you get after reaching a post number milestone. These titles now better reflect titles that would get from Soulcalibur games, namely from Soulcalibur 2 and Soulcalibur Legends. If you care to know, these were the old titles that Sophie had: Beginner, Venturer, Duelist, Voyager, Knight, Cavalier, Warrior, Saviour, Legend, Soul Calibur God.
As for canon character claims, I added Necrid to the minor characters list and Charade on the deceased list. Oh, and I changed all the male Alexandra family members' surnames to Alexander. Oh and a minor minor note, the Pure Alliance is renamed to Light Alliance since I bet only a very few good aligned characters are actually pure by definition.
That should be it. So I hope these changes are to your liking.
