The Survivor: July 2010

The Survivor
July 2010

Note from writer:

It's July! Whoo! Exciting, no?! Anyways. Hope everyone had a wonderful end of year and now that it's July, guess what's next? INDEPENDENCE DAY :0 Let's try to normalize this note a bit, as I'm a tiny bit hyper. Right now I am alone, sadly, and watching the last 20 minutes of You Wish on Disney channel. It actually seems like an okay movie. Anyways. If you're going somewhere for the 4th of July, be safe and if you're not, still be safe. Hold onto your dogs cuz they get freaked out most of the time. And so does my cat, oddly. She spent a while ago a few nights ago trying to crawl onto my lap and under the blankets because of the "practice" fireworks going off. For me, I'm going to Priest Lake with my brother, my sister, and her husband. It really depends on whether her doctor says it's okay, though. Her baby girl was due July 14 but the doctors decided that she was too small (something about a pelvic bone) and the baby didn't want to come out. They could imagine her still being pregnant at the end of July. So, they're going to do a C-Section July 7th. I'm going to miss all your guys so much but I should be able to go on my sisters laptop at times :]

Love,
Sandy

Forum News
Micah has been making a NEWCOMERS GUIDE which will contain most of the information you might need in the future or (the obvious) new members might need.
Our wonderful Gabby has also made a TERRITORY MAP. And it doesn't suck and is rather helpful so you get an idea of how the territories are laid out.
According to schedule, Micah and I would be loosing my leadership this month, July 1 and July 14, but we both receive extra time for absence and it has been decided that no one will loose their positions until the plot is over, unless wished otherwise. I am planning on loosing Cryptidstar in the final stage of the plot.

New Codes
I was planning on sending an update PM about the new codes before but then I decided to add it to the newsletter. This should contain all the new codes that were added in the site revamp and also an explanation of them. I found the majority of the codes and Gabby tested and added them to the site. Gabby made the skin, I had no part in that.

Skin We actually have a gray/brown skin made by Gabby but it was decided that we should have a brighter color so Gabby made the current purple skin.
Thesaurus Tool Now, when you are posting you have the option to use the thesaurus. All you must do is highlight the word you wish, press 'thesaurus' down at the bottom on the 'Post reply line' and thesaurus.com will open in a new window/tab with the word automatically searched.
Birthday Icon We have deleted the birthday board and moved the birthday list to a sticky in the Purrs & Yowls board. Now, on a persons' birthday (the birthday selected when they joined the forum), a birthday icon will appear on their mini-profile on the day of their birthday.
Icon looks like:
Embedded Form Now, when you're going to make a new character, the form is already in the post so you have no choice but to use it.
New PM/Menu Table That's simple enough. The place where you go different pages is new. You can also click the SCR banner to go to the homepage.
New Information Table Gabby set up a wonderful new table where you click the separate tabs to view the topic. For the Clan position images, hover over the picture to see the RPers Name - The Position.
Justify Code Most of you should know what the justify code but if you don't, it's the code that makes the text all lined up a pretty such as you see on this newsletter. The button is in the code box next to the center and align left/right buttons.
New Colors And last, we have new pastel-y colors for the member groups. Each group (leader, deputy, med cat, staff, owner, froster) has it's own color.

The mini-profile is the miniature version of the profile you see beside a post. The thing to the left of this message, where it says name and icon and stuff.

Thank you and have a great month!
