I just wanted to let you all know that the new Profile system is about 80% complete, and as such, you are welcome to begin transferring your Character's information across!
There is a little bit of a process involved, and a full walk-through will be brought out once the profiles themselves are complete. In the mean time, please take a moment to read through the steps!
-> If you hover on the 'USER CP' in the top right corner, you'll see three links.
PROFILE - click this to edit your profile
CHARACTER - click this to add a new Character Account to your Player Account (no logging out needed! No Thistle needed!)
CHARACTERS - Click this to view all your attached Accounts, as well as to remove accounts or add new ones!
Click on PROFILE
Unless your character is a Dragonrider, you won't see any real options though! Your next step will be to go to the GROUP MEMBERSHIP page. You can find the link on the left menu, under 'miscellaneous'. Or click here.
Join the WiP Character Group
You will automatically be approved, and this will allow you to view and fill out all the profile fields! If your character is NOT a dragonrider, you will not see any dragonrider fields. Other than that, some irrelevant fields may show up. You can ignore them; they won't show up unless you choose the profile type that is appropriate.
You should also join the appropriate IC Group (eg, dragonrider, holder, hall, candidate etc) while you are there!
Go back to EDIT PROFILE
You will now have access to all the profile fields!
Once Complete
You should go BACK to the GROUP MEMBERSHIP page, and hit the 'Approved Character' join link. This will send out a notice to @"ThistleProse", @"Insulting Truths" and @"Jenn", letting us know your Character is ready for review! Once approved, they will be permanently in the 'Approved Character' group; If you decide to drop the Character for whatever reason, just hit the 'WiP Character' again, and then 'Leave Group' for the Approved.
Once your character has been Approved, you should Leave the WiP group.
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES
- The three [SET UP] questions are important, but you can change them ANY TIME. If you fill out Custom Colours and/or Crafter Education, that information will not be deleted, even if you turn OFF those options at a later date!
- ACCOUNT TYPE tells the site which profile to show when you - or anyone else - view your character's account. This can be changed at any time, as well (useful for WiPs!) and at present all present the same display. This will be adjusted in coming days. Don't worry if your information doesn't show (primarily this applies to dragonriders) as it IS saved, just not being displayed.
Yes, the font is really tiny. I apologise for that, and it is on the list of Shit To Fix!
The new profiles have room for SIX face claim images; you are also welcome to use ART if you wish, but the first image should be your Face Claim, and please remember art should not be featured in the Character's avatar. Credit in link form must absolutely be included for ALL art, linking to the original artists contact etc.
When entering HEX codes, please don't include the #, as its automatically included in the back end of the coding.
You can use HTML in the profile. Please stick to basic HTML, and a full list of HTML will be put in the guide when I make it. Unfortunately the new profile doesn't read BBC, which is a bit of a pain in the arse. Fixed!
--- I WILL BE ADDING AS MANY QUICK LINKS AS I POSSIBLY CAN TO MAKE THIS PROCESS LESS CLICKY ---
In the mean time, take your time moving the characters across, and I'll finish up the non-Candidate profiles really soon <3
Oh! And please let me know if you find any bugs!
