One new feature you will notice in certain forums, is reputation. I've installed a mod that enables me to pick and choose what forums to enable reputation in. It is currently enabled in the following forums:

Roleplay forums
Ropeburn Review
Storyville

This is so that people only gain rep points based on their RPing ability, whether it be during matches, or any CD work posted in Storyville. It's also enabled in Ropeburn review so that you can rep a post put there for review if you like it... as well as allowing the reviewer to be repped, if the advice was found helpful. Only positive repping is enabled. So, no, you can't neg rep an RP you don't like, or try to bring down the rep of a handler you have personal heat with. Don't ask me to enable neg reps, because the answer will be no. I just thought the rep system would be a great way for handlers to see how their peers *really* rate their work.



Another you may have noticed by now is how the PM system is different. It's not the PM system you're used to, where messages are quoted back and forth. Instead it renders much like a thread - kinda like how PM's work on Facebook, if you're familiar with that. There is an option to copy PM's to people though, rather than invite them all to the conversation, for instance if you don't want everyone you sent a PM to, to see each others' replies.


If you've been in any threads today, you'll see at the bottom that the board now records who has viewed the thread. I just thought that was cool, no real other reason for adding it.


Yes, I know the calender is a day off in the dates, it's a known bug on IPS and they are working on a fix.


Any questions about any of the new stuff, PM me and I'll answer them the best I can.
