At this moment there’s a problem with older PM’s

We have received the following reply from the support department at UBB threads:

SOLUTION: Reply from the support department at UBB Threads: They're pm's that weren't completely deleted - just delete them now and you'll be fine

Sorry guys, there's nothing more we can do.


At this moment there’s a problem with “Who’s online”
The names of the members being online isn't always accurate. We have contacted support at UBB threads. Keep you posted.


The class system (dragons, undead,…) is not up to date yet. We'll have a look at the classes and alignments (no promises but we'll try).


We still have a FAQ which contains replies to some of your questions

More updates/news will follow.

If you have stumbled upon something new, just post it here.

The class system is back!

If rat didn't break anything, the part about selecting a class and having a title that goes up with your post count, should work again.

How to change your class:

-at the top of the forum, click "my stuff"
-then select "my profile"
-scroll down and look for "class"
-select your class
-scroll down and press "submit"

(The part about Angel/Prophet isn't working yet.. and the old Good/Evil/Neutral thing isn't working either. Partly because we seem to have misplaced the little graphics for it )

More info about the classes and the post count can be found here

Please do not create useless posts (=spam) just to raise your postcount...

Excellent! I am now a Battlemage again! Thanks Lynn! (And thanks to rat, too :))

Meh, who changed my status? I was going to go for the default (addict or veteran or whatever it is) this time around! I don't want to be a warlord!

Übereil

Then change it back, Ube!

Once you've switched from the default you can't switch back, that's why I didn't want to switch. Because it's way more unique and exlusive not to have switched status at all than to be a dragon or warlord or whatever.

Übereil

Ube...

Go click on that little cross that just appeared next to 'My Stuff'. It seems to still have the default blanks loaded... You may be able to get around it that way...

YES!!!!! I'm a Dragon again! Here's 2 thumbs up for Larian (one per head)

P.S I love the little +'s and -'s, plus the flags and markers, makes me feel more like the game
that I consider one of the greatest RPG's of all time, many thanks!

The thing is, Elliot, that I haven't changed my status, and my status is set to nothing. Despite that, I'm displayed as a warrior.

Übereil

Relax Ube, take a sip of water, go to "my profile" and choose your class.

There is no default anymore. Or actually, by default you're a human with no special nothing. Which is a warrior :p The "really default" titles are just a little bit too... "meh".

If you want, we can ditch the entire class system again, and change back to the "meh" titles, but then that counts for everyone

Yeah, and when the classes disappear we'll know who to clobber...

!!! I kinda like being a Battlemage, thanks! At least until I hit Archmage, which could well happen one day!

Someone sit on Ube!

@everyone from Larian: The new books are quite nice, but the "light" one, should be even lighter, imho. It doesn't "catch the eye" in my case.

The images have been adapted a little. Let me know if it's better or not.

The alignment system is back!

rat!

How to choose your alignment (good, neutral, evil):

-at the top of the forum, click "my stuff"
-then select "my profile"
-scroll down and look for "alignment"
-select your alignment (good, neutral, evil)
-scroll down and press "submit"

The name tags for helpers and people with fan sites is back too!

More info about the classes and the post count can be found here

I'm actually with Übereil on this one. I had never selected a forum class or alignment, and I dislike being a neutral Warlord.

Which leads me to another problem: I had once sent a PM to Lynn suggesting a Rogue forum class (or Survivor, the one I would have chosen for this forum). As I didn't get a reply, I had always kept this PM, intending to post it when the time seemed right or to send it again. I'm 100% sure I have not deleted it. Unfortunately, it's gone now. It seems the software update didn't just lead to deleted PMs popping up again, it also caused PMs to vanish.

If I can't be a Rogue or Survivor, I'd rather go for the "meh class", veteran, and no alignment at all.

We're open to suggestions, just write what you think would make a good class (including the names for the post counts) and then people can comment on that. The biggest work is done (changing the software to support the idea), adding or tweaking a class or two is painless.

*Cough* I'm fine with that. Then again, it would make it less unique to be a veteran if everyone with 1500+ posts was a veteran too...

Oh well.

BTW sidescrolls on long quotes suck. Sidescroll in general suck.
