Collaboration Forum for the Orders

[Thrannduil]

Just wanting to let everyone know, the Silvermist/Shadow Legion forum is open to whatever Orders want to use it, just send me a PM here and I will set up your boards, member permissions, and everything. Every Member/Grandmaster is restricted to their forums, so no spying. Its working out really well, and I would love to have one place where all the Orders are present. I know a few of you already have forums, but I would prefer it if you joined this one. All Grandmasters have access to the Admin control panel, so they can add and remove boards from their forum and verify people's accounts and set up moderators over their forums. The link for the forum is in my sig.

Although this is a good idea, I'm still gonna keep most chat at our forums, as quite frankly, these forums are moderated by you, and you can access any and every part of the site with no hassle.

 

[Thrannduil]

Actually, they are moderated individually by each Grandmaster. I have even placed myself into a group where I cannot even see other Order's forums. Only Mordred has the ability to see everything on my forums.

While I may in the future open up a Griffon part of that board as an embassy of sorts, for now I wish to keep my forum.

Mainly because I've already put work into it, and it's running very smoothly.

 

[Thrannduil]

Thats fine. And if you want to come to talk on our forum, you can do so without having your own forum, as there is a general hall there for anybody to participate.

our Eventide forum is REALLY nice IMO! customized to fit our order (very nice job Deckenpuppel ) so i don't think (without having talked to the others) that we will change

 

[Deckenpuppel]

Yes, we will keep our forum, but I agree that a common board has its advantages and we will have a look at it at least.

May as well put up a picture if noone else is going to get a link to it:

I think once we have more knights, I'll set up a forum on your board, as I said earlier, for an embassy of sorts.

Oh man, that looks a lot less complicated then ZetaBoards. The freaking Admin CP that one has in the pain in the...

I'm not sure if it is or not. If you can stumble through the French though, I recommend it.

 

[Thrannduil]

looks cool. Unfortunately, I dont think I could stumble through the french and I like the customization of permissions and stuff with Invisionfree.

Customization options are probably just as good, if not better on the website I use.

And the French is only for signing up the board, you can choose to have it set in English, so that you have an admin panel that you can read. I can take a few screenshots, if you'd all like.

 

[Thrannduil]

Sure. Can you just point out which things are for the name, username, password and all that?

When you go to the website (Type in Actifforum on Google) find this on the right side of the screen. Click on Forum Gratuit

Here select the Template, phpBB2 is the one I use. By far the most customizable, and smooth.

These should be fairly easy to decipher, despite the french.

Your forum title

A description of the forum

What you want it to show up as a link (The internet address)

Your forum language, English is at the top (Anglais)

The timezone your forum operates on



Your email address

The password that you want for your administrator account.

I think that's pretty much where the french ends. It'll ask you to confirm your password, and agree to terms of us.

 

[Deckenpuppel]

Funny, Our admin panel looks exactly the same, but in German .

 

[Thrannduil]

Hmm I may take a look at that. does it have ads?

 

[Diablodude]

Yes.

If you notice the black spot underneath the "Knights of the Griffon" picture, advertisements appear there.

I made sure to take the picture while the advert was loading, so that it looked more seamless.

The adverts are only in that small area, and none of them have sound. So it is not disruptive.

 

[Thrannduil]

Same with Invisionfree. Only 1 add and its non-intrusive

That is the English edition of the French / German forums you guys are using! Amusing, we use it for the dev forums heh.

 

[Thrannduil]

If I didn't have so much stuff already set up, I would probably use that
