    [​IMG] Well, I've added the location field to your posts, something that's been disabled from the start. We'll see how it works out. Should at least cut down all the "Where are you from?" posts. :shake:

    And you know the thing you've missed on the top left of the posts frame? It was the mail post feature. Now back, available to members only.

    Hmm, looks like the From: field doesn't have a space in front of the location, you need to enter it manually. I'll have to fix that.

    You're being very sly here Tal, re-making the site bit by bit! :p:shake:
    Sounds good though. It will stop a lot of pointless posts.

    Goody! Now lemme think what could I put there...
    Sigil? Nah. Too obvious.
    Faerun? Nah. Too kinky.
    Negative Material Plane? Nah. Too wide.
    The Sword Coast? Nah. Too tiny.

    I guess I'll wait with it till I see the location of the Sea Dawgs 2. :p

    Ok, fixed the missing space. All set now. ;)

    Btw, the limit on location is 2 lines altogether (with From: included). Just in case anyone gets ideas about writing short stories there.

    :nono:

    Now the boards are a bit cluttered in my opinion. But I'm sure I'll get used to it. And the "Mail Topic" feature will be essential for converting non-SPites. :):)

    I'm wondering ....
    1) Are the "Shores of Lethe" a real place or in a book / the Realms...

    2) Should I jump on the bandwagon and change my location to something original and/or funny ... Chicago is so tame :good:

    iirc, the Shores of Lethe, are the shores of the river of Forgeting...

    [edit]
    The, River Lethe is the River in hades that causes people who drink from it to forget everything that happened before to them.

    Not sure if Tal is refering to that, or another River Lethe...

    As long as we have people saying they're from the "Shores of Lethe" or "Roll a d20," we're always going to have "where are you from" posts.

    But I like the change.

    Nice addition. Hmmm...let's see how I look :).

    EDIT: Hmmm...I'm the first 'gem' to post :D. And since soul ever heard of 'Delfgauw' I'll go remove that :).

    [​IMG] I'll just repeat once more to the people who escaped from the Creativity Surge that Tal didn't say "two lines and a few more".


    [EDIT]
    Nice! I already see some improvement... Thanks to all who already edited it.

    [​IMG] Guess Bel there didn't read carefully enough. I've PM'd him about it already.

    And yes, I was just reading Milton's Paradise Lost and the name stuck in my head. It's the river Lethe from Hell.
