The Future of Basic Roleplaying .com

[Joseph Paul]

So is the Pic of Alastor' Inn supposed to open up my Favorites file and not link me to the index page any more?

Yes, forgot to mention that. Clicking Alasto's Skull Inn now goes to bookmarks the site. The new link to the forum is in the second line of the header ("basic roleplaying forum" in blue and underlined).

I've just added e-mail verification as a requirement for registering. A bit more of a hassle, but will be needed when we get a wiki up to.

I like the new site, but I do miss the links page, will there be a new links page?

Okay... well, that's useful.... once.

Now that I've already 'favorite-ed' the site (the day I joined), what do I do with that link now?

[Trifletraxor]

That's a valid point. I'm changing it back!

What's that? Is that something external, or something I must set up? There are some RSS feed options in the admin control center, but so far I don't have the faintest clue what they do.

It's more work for you :-)
As Magistus' link will tell you, it's basically a way for websites to tell you they've been updated without you actually visiting them to check. Popular with blogs and news sites.
I have a little icon sitting in my taskbar that that tells me I have unread messages on various sites and blogs. When I click it a window opens listing them as either the whole message or a headlines type of thing and a link to go to.
