Added a plug in that allows member names to be styled. Both original members and staff show in bold at the moment.

Can't access marilynda in the member styles plug in. Will let the author know. Apparently a problem at the proboards end and will be fixed soon.

Working on some animated smilies. So far... How about a kiss? I think someone's not quite right in the head: See: Oh dear... But what's this? Whoaahhhh! And my favourite. What an admin does to a member when he gets mad! It's actually quite time-consuming and concentration-heavy so I'll just do a few at a time as and when I feel up to it.

Mainly because I wanted to test my template abilities but I've now added the board descriptions to the board pages themselves. For example, when you click on the Information board you can see the description just below the board title. Hopefully I'll have sorted out the colour before you read this!
It may only be a small thing (and only useful to me with my bad memory) but it means that I should be able to make other changes I thought I maybe wasn't capable of. Time will tell.

Well blow my britches! I actually fixed the problem with the quick reply buttons MYSELF! *does the daddy dance* You can now use all the same buttons as in the full reply, plus you can now access the smilies again. Just hope I haven't broken the spoiler tags in the process... One problem (I'll have to get onto the plugin author for solving this I think - it's beyond my ken) is that the smilies in the quick reply drop down box are the original Proboard smilies and not the replacements that you see in full reply area or in the post itself. So you won't get the full amount of smilies in the quick reply area unfortunately.

Animated a few more smilies. Now you can , or get with the best of them! On a secondary note, have decided not to try to recreate the old Chronicles theme for now. Maybe at some later date.

Somehow I've managed to stop the Quick Reply buttons showing at all now... will have another look tomorrow. It's too late (or early depending on how you like your middle of the night...)

Added a new field which shows original members' original registration dates (where known). I've updated a couple of members where the date is known. I can't recall my own (well Marty's) exactly but I believe it was September 2004 so I've just put that for now.
For those without dates entered as yet but you either know the exact (probably not) or month/year then let me know via PM and I'll update it for you.

Done a bit of tinkering with the mini-profiles (the ones you see next to the posts). Got rid of showing the media links and added a couple more custom fields with regards to old IWD members (now shows name, original registration date and original number of posts you ended up with). I've used the info from Coriana's old topics to update information where known. I've also used info from the same to recreate the old rankings - although I'm not confident on the exactness (I took what post counts were available for each rank and extrapolated from that. For example, for Visitor I had two post counts (33 and 6) and for Wanderer I had three counts (97, 60 and 51). I could thus say with pretty good accuracy that Visitor post counts ranged from 0 to 49 (50 being the lowest count of Wanderer using the usual way admins have their rankings). Working through the same way I then guestimated the rest of he rankings. So... there may be rankings missing but I'll alter them as and when I come across them... these are the figures I got and how I worked them out. If anyone has any different ideas or knowledge contact me (via the Marty account preferably). RANK | LOW | HIGH | DATA | Visitor to the Dale | 0 | 49 | 6, 33 | Wanderer of the Dale | 50 | 99 | 51,60,97 | Friend of the Dale | 100 | 249 | 114, 167, 176, 181, 221, 222 | Citizen of the Dale | 250 | 349 | 305 | Guardsman of the Dale | 350 | 499 | 354, 47, 453 | Adventurer of the Dale | 500 | 699 | 504, 520, 576, 585 | Weapons Master of the Dale | 700 | 999 | 716, 746, 804, 910 | Knight of the Dale | 1000 | 1999 | 1455 | Scholar of the Dale | 2000 | ? | 2149, 2757, 3256, 3322 | Defender of the Dale |

As you can see, it looks... uneven. It may be that I'm missing a rank or two, or it could just be that I've worked it out right. Either way, I've done the ranks here to reflect the ranks above. They're not written in stone, btw. We can have all new ranks if enough members agree.
