After days of intense labor, it's finally complete. Welcome to the brand new worldofcaenyr.com. We took "Where Imagination is Your Only Limit" to the next level with this one. Happy 10th birthday, Caenyr.
Major new featuresThe World of Caenyr Portal:Our website, community, forums, and game are now more integrated than ever before, and from one page you can branch out to enjoy any or all of it!
phpBB3 Conversion: More forum features than you could have ever hoped for, all while significantly improving security from nasty bots.
Forum Makeover: All new forum layout for better organization and faster access to the info you need.
Improved Browsing Experience: A lot of work went into making sure you can use any browser without problems, access us on the go with improved mobile app access, and have an overall more pleasant interaction with our sleek, appealing new theme.
For more details on all of those, visit my
Website Development forum and read all of the announcement threads that break it down to the next level.
'> And for help, don't worry! Zepp has already started making tutorials, especially for the moderators (see the staff
Discussion Forum), and has promised to be available to answer any technical questions you may have about using the new boards.

IMPORTANT - With all of this great change, comes some work for you guys. Nothing major, but there is some cleanup still needed and we also have implemented some adjustments to the AV & Banner guidelines to better support our new theme and goal of improved browsing experience. Finally, we are depending on YOU to let us know of any issues with the site asap, so we can get them sorted quickly. We've been pretty thorough, so I'm hoping there aren't any major bugs at all, but you never know. So, with all of that being said:
Here's what you need to do :!: Resize your forum AV to 250 wide x 330 high or less - you can do this in the UCP
as shown here or post in the artist assist thread.
:!: Resize your banner to a maximum of 400 wide x 200 high. This is the maximum for all banners in your signatures. This cannot be done directly on the forums so there will be one months grace - the end of June
'>
:!: Fix any links in your own threads. This can be done by simply removing phpbb2/ from the url.
:!: Fix any pictures you used in your own threads if they are broken. There is now a bbcode button right above where you type a reply to allow easy placement - left, right or centred. Laurel did fix some pictures in the histories as she went through her links. History writers may have to report the posts for laurel to fix as the History forums are not directly editable.
:!: Report any broken links or pictures that are not in your own threads
using the report button found in each post Please do not pm the admins or moderators regarding this. Use the report function.
:!: Report any bugs or errors with the website (other than broken links using the report tool) in the
Bug Reporting Forum.
:!: Give us your feedback! Post in response to this message and also vote in my new community poll either
from my new poll forum or right from the Portal!
Finally, last but not least, I need to thank two very special people.
Laurel, while I was up coding the website, sorting all this madness out, thinking up all the crazy ideas, ignoring the universe and getting next to nothing for sleep, you were right there with me almost the whole time. You single-handedly took my vision and structure for the new forum layout and made it a reality, and from everything you learned in that process you even took the time to teach me the new phpBB3 stuff since I was busy working on all the rest. Can't thank you enough, it would have taken me a century to get this completed otherwise. Choco, a glass of wine, a big hug, smooches, and giant shiny blue token for you madam.
Zepp, it was your crazy post that got me to finally get off my arse and make this happen in the first place! I blame you!
'> But I also thank you, sincerely. Without your technical assistance on how to convert the forums I would still be lost, you helped me when I really needed it. And your work building tutorials and offering your assistance to the players for how to use all this new jazzy stuff, really means a lot. YOU ROCK!
So there you have it, Caenyr. Enjoy your new home. The paints still a bit wet, so be careful where you spam.
