Hey everyone, just figured I'd let you guys know a few changes with the new site. Some things are coded differently on Proboards. This may not be a big deal to those of you who just use the buttons but for those who code as they go such as myself, a few things have changed. the center tags now look like this (div align="center") and color codes are done like this now (font color="#009900"). Luckily the old codes all still work, you'll just notice that once you post something, your code will be changed to that.
If you want to post a video for your entrance or anything else, just copy and pasting the link will work, no tags necessary. They won't show up in the preview but will when you post something.
Unfortunately we can't get something similar to the Promo Dump on the old site. Zetaboards had a specific thing we could use in order to let people only see the stuff they wrote but we can't do that here. So for promos, send them to your Head Writer via the pm system or even better, Google docs.
If you go to your profile section and select Edit Profile, go to Settings and turn Enable Drafts on. It apparently makes Proboards save whatever you're writing periodically. I haven't used it so I'm not sure how well it works. I however strongly advise you to not write using the site. Use Goggle Docs, Evernote or something else that automatically saves your work. I have no sympathy for those of you who lose everything you've been working on.
One last thing and most important, CHECK YOUR CODING. This site for whatever reason will uncenter everything as soon as one misplaced code is found. Whether it's an unclosed tag, an extra tag, a broken image link, it's a real pain in the ass when putting a show together. So if you can, before you send stuff in, preview it in a thread with center tags and to see that it all looks good. Make sure to get rid of the center tags before sending stuff in.
