Search Modification
Yesterday I was searching for what I thought was a simple word and yet no results were found so I decided to tweak the Search to find 'like' words. You should see an improvement.
Making Board Skins Match
On specialty Boards such as those with RPGs I am working to make the Skins match the content. Therefore, rather than a general Skin you will begin to see something that matches the actual Game, etc. It is a lengthy process, if you discover errors please let us know as we may be unaware about it.

Old Board Addresses
Some months ago we made a big merger of the Boards but neglected to redirect the old links to make them point to the new merged Board. This has been fixed so your old Bookmarks will take you to the right place.
January Newsletter
Lots of great things are happening in the Community:
* The Bottom bar is the unique links you see at the very
bottom of pages you visit in the Community. We have enhanced
it to make navigation a breeze. We have also added a special
link called, "Major NEWS" which shows popular world topics.
For instance the Threads about what is going on in Haiti
can easily be found via this option.
This is not the same as the most recent list which shows
Threads that were recently Updated. Please use it and give
feedback here:

* We recently modified the Search to look for "like" words as
well which helps in showing more results. For instance searching
"force" will also show "forces" whereas it did not before. You
can also narrow Searches by using quotes around words.
Role-playing Games
We encourage players to become involved in multiple Rpgs
within the Community so that when they visit there is always
something to reply to / participate in. Check out some of
these and consider joining in:
* Love & Life Bytes Rpg has its own skin and has merged
Spotlight into it. Within the Threads you will be able to
create both a Bytes and Spotlight character. Drama based
character role-playing allows you to express yourself in a
modern setting with real issues. Best thing is if you are
voted as the best at portraying your character you get
luck points which promotes or rewards. See the Board:

* Jpatt wants feedback on an Rpg he wants to start:

* The World of Medieval and Future Earth are both being
modified for fast effective play with unique character
Posts. Soon both games will be starting new scenarios.
Make sure to have Rpger status now so you can join in the
action and not be left behind.
* I'm looking for someone to Gm Be A Super Hero Rpg. This
is a comic based role-playing game. There are many scripts
to help you Gm and for players to generate stats. I do not
want to add more to my current portfolio, but if not I will
take it back up.
