TOS Membership Icons

[koreth]

Dumb question, on the left panel of my TOS Avatar has icons underneath my membership status. The icons don't display and show "corrupted image" broken image symbols. (From my view, everyone's is not displaying.) Is there a setting I need to adjust or something I need to do to make it appear?

[Black Cat]

Nah, it doesn't show up for me neither. I guess these were images from the original TotS server that disappeared when Winterhawk close it. We could probably get new ones, but nobody except KHFA has the rights to modify the forums settings.

[Beowuuf]

Yeah, those were coloured stars before. Interestingly my firefox just displays the *

And I think you are right BC, sitestaff can't modify those options, just FA

I also have *s. I didn't know it was wrong. What's wrong with *s?

[Samildanach]

Same here. It never crossed my mind that they weren't meant to be *s.

While we're (sort of) on the subject, anyone have word on WH?

[Beowuuf]

As in is he ok, or is he working on a site? He was doing a hockey website last I heard. I stopped following him on Facebook a while back, so no idea if he's ok himself.

FA mentioned something about looking for an alternate site thing with someone else doing it. Zipp was polling interest and nostalgia a little while ago too, but for some reason did it through a facebook group instead of here.

[Samildanach]

Either really.

Yeah, if FA feels that's the way forward it's certainly worth considering. I mean, I'm content with the site the way it is - it suits my purposes - but it's not the haven of Magnamundian lore that maybe it should be. This incarnation of the site wasn't intended to be long-term. If someone (or someones) wants to take on the job of building a new Tower of the Sun, I'd back it. My technical know-how is virtually nonexistent but I'd provide whatever help I can.

I don't know what is happening with WH. I'm playing Fantasy Football in his league (he's the league manager) but even for that, he doesn't give us any updates. He did posted a message about the beginning of the football season (that was back in September) but we never heard of him after that and now the season is over.

Last year, I won the championship and he told me that he would send the tophy my way (because he did create a trophy, you know). But maybe because I'm from Canada and that is too much trouble packing it up and go the the post office, I never got it (he did the same with the wandering book, keeping it for himself for way too long, remember?). So anyways, let's just forget about him, I don't think we'll ever hear back from him on the Lone Wolf front.

As for a new website, I thought about making a new one with Geocities, but the darn thing is now close. We could make a new one ourselves, but:

1-We need a server (or a free hosting place)
2-We need someone that is good with computer graphics (you know, to create banners, buttons, background that make it feel like it is Magnamund)
3-We need content for the new website
4-We need at least one person to run it and to patch things rapidly when something is wrong
5-We need time to do all this!

[Beowuuf]

I have one thing you guys might want, which is I snagged the towerofthesun.co.uk address. No webspace attached to it, and it's not of course the known towerofthesun.com, but it's close enough to perhaps be found by those who look for the old site? There if you need it, and anyone creates a site.

[dharn]

That's wonderful news! I offer what ever little help I can.

[Doomy]

I'll doubtless pitch in if I can too, but I can't cross (m)any items off BC's list.
