I went to put a picture of Grace in and noticed she doesn't pop up ^ I wasn't sure if she's hiding or something :P

Please refresh and try again, Krystal! :D She should be there now.

I have the same problem with Cristian Falco, he doesn't show up for me!

I found wally Grace :P Ta Mel!

Try again now, a few of the Prague characters had some info missing.

^Yeah he's there now. Thanks! :)

Is it possible to change the alias for the character? I would prefer to have them displayed with first and last name in the posts, not just the first name.

Sandra the alias is the way we can identify the character in the hack. If you wish for first and last names to display for your characters you may edit your character alias to have the first and last name and we will then approve the edits :D

How do I do that? I can't find any such option.

Actually players need to request that to be edited. There's a dropdown in your bio to do this when you click on "Details" through your biography page. Give it a shot.

If you go to the bio page of your character, scroll to the bottom where it says edit. Then on the right hand side there should be a little click box that looks like

If you select alias you can then request an edit :)

I've PMd this to you Sandra but then realised that others may wish to know as well.

Thank you. :)

When we are doing bios, do we have to have full personality sections or can we have traits? Like in the New York game, before it was just traits for the personality. Are we free to do whatever we want in there personality wise?

Heidi you are free to do what ever you wish!

Thank you!

When submitting a character, can you use php/bb-code in the history and personality sections, like bold, italic, ect? I'm assuming that you can, but I figured I'd ask just to be safe.

You sure can! :D

With the new RPG hack/character system thing, I'm used to the multiple accounts so it's going to take me a little while to get used to this new system. But do we need to re-submit bios or anything like that. Also, how do we add an image to the character profile/bio bit.

We've attached all the bios to your accounts already, so there's no need for submissions. Just check over the info and apply any edits that you need.

There's a handy dandy guide here that Anna has drawn up. Just scroll down to the 'Setting Up Your Character' section and all the information is there, as well as how to post.

Lindsey all your bios that were available before the hack are uploaded and all your posts updated to reflect this.

Anna has created a wonderful guide for us on all things hack related so give this a read and I hope that answers any of your questions on how to use it :D

Lol to Sarah beating me :p

Thanks Sarah and Vicky, and Anna as well, that's a great help. I'll probably get used to it after awhile but at the moment it all just looks so new to me and a little daunting. So the guide should help.

Lindsey I can promise you this is an easier system to use and it's also less likely bios get missed :)

I was just in the options page looking at the sceheme's and when I clicked on the Wonder Woman scheme and went back into the options page, I noticed in the drop down boxes the writing colour is quite light. I was wondering if that could be changed to a slightly darker shade. I don't know if this is the right place to post this.

I've done something else instead which should make it easier to read. :D

Cheers, thanks for that.

What do you guys think about adding emojis to the smilie list that can be used when texting? Since the template is samsung, they would be the android emojis. I'd be happy to crop them/send a zip file to be added if it's something doable! :3

If you’re happy to do that Vicki it’ll be great

I would love it! I tried to do it but got frustrated after 2 hours and gave up :$

Not sure if this goes here, but I'm trying to make a character journal, and I was wondering if it's possible to put two boxes side by side (using [choicebox2]) and if so, what's the code for that? :chin: Or do I need to use different boxes? (I thought I saw it somewhere, but I can't remember where now)

Hey Bonnie, I was struggling with that too for a while. But if you look at how Vicki has set it up here, you should be able to do it. There is a little bit more coding adding to it in terms of the [td] tags.

Thanks, Anna! I did look at other threads, but I couldn't quite figure out. This one makes more sense, so I'll fiddle around with it :D

Is it possible to have "today's posts" links for mobile?

^ Seconding this!

I've been wondering about this too!

The only way to view “todays posts” is to hit the “mark all read” and then go back in to new posts and hit the link at the end in “You may search for theads updated in the past 24 hours, here”. Due to the uniqueness of the hand coding we have less junk filler and we don’t want to overload the board with a thousand superfluous links. For this reason we aren’t currently planning to add a seperate link on the mobile page

Just off the back of something I'm finding, could any plots that have been filled and no longer required, please be retired somewhere out of The Fireplace? As a newer board member, I'm trying to find interesting plots to join, and because I obviously don't know all the games and characters, it makes trying to fit into a plot more difficult because there are plots already taken amidst those that need filling.

Obviously I don't mean any that require discussion in the thread to clarify things or part-filled requests, but those that are completed - could they be moved elsewhere to clear it up a little?

Absolutely! We'll see what we can do about putting a system in place!

Premature question which understandably I understand may not be answered (lol). I'm excited about this potential Caribbean game so I'm clouded in excitement. I have an idea for a character I'd like to put there, but I don't necessarily want to rush if I can wait a minute ;). I'm wondering if it'll be weeks or more like months for it to get kicked off - or whatever sort of answer may you have as far as time frame.

It'll only be a couple of weeks, Nai, don't worry! We're in the process of pulling it altogether, and hopefully we've come up with something everyone can get excited about!

Awesome. Thanks!

Is it possible to mark a thread as mature after you've already posted the thing that makes it mature, or can you only do that before you post? From what I can tell, you can only mark it as mature in the quick reply box, and not in the advanced screen, or in editing it after it's been posted. Which is super inconvenient, because that means I'd have to delete and repost to properly mark it.

Asking because I have a thread that should probably reaaaaaaaaaally be marked as mature :sweatdrop:
