At some point when we're actually switching over to the new hardware there will be a high potential for downtime due to DNS changes and general propagation issues though every effort will be made for this to be as seamless a process as possible. Again, Murphy's Law will most likely apply.
So far, we're looking at the following order of migratory events:
[LIST=1]
- IRC Services
- E-Mail & Webmail
- Database(s)
- LORE
- Forums
Please note that when all is said-and-done, we're intending for all LORE features to resume 100% functionality at that time.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding in this matter.

PS: This thread will be updated with all significant stages and events of notable progress (and/or setbacks as the case my be).

Forum Discussion / Subscribe to Calendar
« on: March 26, 2007, 11:00:50 am »
Users can now be notified by email of new events on either the GM or Player Calendar. You'll see at the top the option to be reminded of events, 1, 2 or 3 days in advance.
For example if you select three days in advance, every day you will be notified of all events that are on the calendar within the next three days.

Forum Discussion / How To Use The Calendar For Proper Times
« on: March 25, 2007, 07:00:27 am »
Okay, I hope this is helpful for everyone. This is how to set up a calendar event so the time is displayed properly for every one of our community members.
[SIZE=24]Step 1. Set Your Correct Timezone[/SIZE]
First off, make sure you yourself have the correct timezone set! Edit Your Options and set your timezone to the proper timezone, and select Automatically detect DST settings.
[SIZE=10]Figure 1. orth's Time Zone settings[/SIZE]
[SIZE=24]Step 2. Add Your Event[/SIZE]
Once you're done that, you're now ready to set up an event. Go to the Player Calendar. GMs can use GM Calendar, either way doesn't matter.
Now in the top right under the navigation bar click the Add New Event then select Ranged Event.
[SIZE=18]Okay now here's the tricky part. [SIZE=13]
[SIZE=18] If you are currently in Daylight Saving Time wherever you are, then put your star[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=18][SIZE=13][SIZE=24] [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=18][SIZE=13][SIZE=18]t time at one hour before you want it started.[/SIZE] For example if you plan on starting a quest at 10:00am, then put it for 9:00am. Once Daylight Saving Time is over you need not set it one hour before.
The Time Zone should be your Time Zone.
DO NOT CHECK THE MAINTAIN SAME TIME BY IGNORING DST. THIS IS IMPORTANT OR PLAYERS WHO DON'T HAVE DST WILL SEE WRONG TIMES.
The end time isn't very relevant as we all know how some quests you just don't know how long they will be, but putting an approximation of length does no harm.
In my example below I wanted the quest to start at 6:30am my time and since it's currently Daylight Saving Time here, I set it to start at 5:30am.
[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=10]Figure 2. Example Event[/SIZE]
[SIZE=18][SIZE=13]
[/SIZE][/SIZE]
[SIZE=24]Step 3. Verify The Time Is Correct[/SIZE]
Okay, now make sure when you save the event, the start time appears correctly for you. This ensures it will display properly for everyone else. As long as they've set their time zone that is :\\ If the time is not correct then please verify you've done all the correct actions in the first two steps. You can edit your calendar event by selecting :: Edit Event from the Event Options dropdown in the bottom right corner of your event.

Hope that helps, please comment for revisions or clarifications.

Forum Discussion / Forum Update - HTML Cleanup & New Tables
« on: March 24, 2007, 04:07:46 am »
Okay, the HTML Cleanup went okay as far as I can tell, there are some issues here and there, in some cases all you need to do is edit your post and save it and things should fix themselves. (I noticed this for bulleted lists).
If you are missing anything please let me know.
Also the format of how you work with tables is much easier and I have converted the existing tables to use that new format. To make a table you simply enter it like so:
Now the real cool part... if you want to make these tables sortable, then specify which columns are sortable. For example:
[table=head;sort=1,2,3]Spell|Level|Cost
Bless|1|460
Virtue|0|25
Implosion|9|7560
Resurrection|7|10000
[/table]
Notice how you can click the headings and they re-sort?
Anyway I should post this so I can turn the forum back on O.o.
Once again, let me know if anything significant has been lost, and if you see a stray html tag and it's your post, try fixing it. As I said sometimes just clicking edit then save will do the trick.
Cheers,
orth

Code: [Select]
[noparse]
[table=head]Heading 1|Heading 2|Heading 3
Row 1 Col 1| Row 1 Col 2| Row 1 Col 3
Row 2 Col 1| Row 2 Col 2| Row 2 Col 3
[/table]
[/noparse]
If you don't want a heading for the first row and just treat it as a normal row then you need not specify the =head part.Now the real cool part... if you want to make these tables sortable, then specify which columns are sortable. For example:
Code: [Select]
[noparse]
[table=head;sort=1,2,3]Spell|Level|Cost
Bless|1|460
Virtue|0|25
Implosion|9|7560
Resurrection|7|10000
[/table]
[/noparse]produces this:[table=head;sort=1,2,3]Spell|Level|Cost
Bless|1|460
Virtue|0|25
Implosion|9|7560
Resurrection|7|10000
[/table]

General Discussion / Help Fund Layonara for FREE
« on: February 29, 2016, 10:52:17 am »
In case you have not noticed, Layonara has some new services for the community, including some new stores. You can read about them here. I have posted some important information about the Burnlounge store in that thread, but I want to emphasize one point in particular here. You can help Layonara simply by getting your FREE Burnpage from the store when they are available next month, and tell everyone you know to either get their own Burnpage from you or through Layonara. A big advancement coming with 2.0 is banner advertising on the Burnpages. You get to choose what ads, if any, you want to place on your page. Then you get a percentage of the commission paid by the advertisers to Burnlounge for everyone that comes to your page. Of course, since all the Burnpages in the Layo community will be coming originally from the store here, Layo will also get a percentage of that commission, in addition to all the sales made through those Burnpages. So, spread the word. Burnlounge 2.0 is coming next month, along with the Burnpages. If anyone would like more information on this, or has any other questions about Burnlounge, feel free to contact me. Dan is very busy with many other Layonara duties, so I am helping him out with this aspect of things. Lane

Layonara Server / Voice Command Tips
« on: November 19, 2005, 01:03:00 am »
I'm currently thinking of a way to give everyone the ability to create a Voice, as I know some Human and Half Elf classes don't get any Ears. However, as long as there is an NPC, summon, or familiar around, no Voice is needed.
