| Welcome to the Layonara forums!
Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.
Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.
After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.
There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.
We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.
Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

|  A Perennial Suggestion
While I realize this has been suggested a number of times, recent developments with TinyMCE suggests to me that the time is now for implementation... particularly as we've just moved to the new forum design:
A spellchecker. TinyMCE has an opensource spellchecker built into their WYSIWYG editor, and it doesn't take much to implement.
Running posts through OpenOffice or Word works, of course... but few people want to write their posts in a separate program - particularly if they're posting on a work computer, a public computer, or just someone else's computer.
*shrugs* I think it might contribute to communication on the forum, so I'm throwing this out to the community and the Team for consideration. Thanks! |  |   | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to darkstorme For This Useful Post: | | |

Moreover, not everyone may have Word at their disposal - as I said in my initial post, some addicts (*raises hand sheepishly*) have even posted from public computers, say at the library, which serve as little more than an internet terminal. And while there are online spell-checkers, bringing it to the forum itself would be just that little bit more convenient.
@Hawklen - I had the old spell check extension for Firefox 1.x - I personally prefer the new one in 2.0, but either way you're limited to a browser. The beauty of a forum-based spell check is that it's platform-independent. Opera, Firefox, IE or whichever web browser suits your fancy - even handhelds or cellphones.

The Firefox with Google Toolbar provides this option at any site you browse. You can spellcheck whenever you're entering text on the web and you will be supporting Layonara.
Attached are a couple screenshots of how it works.
It also has quite a few other nifty features. So next time you see that ad somewhere on our forums, take the time to consider jumping from IE or upgrade your FireFox to use the Google Toolbar.

Oh i have the lastest version already, but the actual gramar and spell checking is rather poor, compared to other on-website gramar and spellcheckers i have seen.
