I've recently installed some new codes that change how you operate on the site (don't worry; it's nothing dramatic!). This post is to let you know how to utilize these new features.
The codes you should know about:
- WC Awards System
- Relationship Status
- Posting Backgrounds
- Indefinite Log in
- Menu Bar Changes
- Pulses
WC Awards System
We now have little awards given when you post a certain word count! You get little award icons at 200 words, 500 words, 1,000 words, and 2,000 words. As of right now (FEB•16•2012) the images are under construction, so disregard any... crappiness.
If you show consistant award-winning IC posts, you can earn pulses! (read on!)
Relationship Status
You now have a position in your profile where you can mark your CHARACTER'S relationship status (single, dating so and so, separated, or "it's complicated"). Note that these are not reflecting YOU, but your CHARACTER on that account. I just thought it'd be a lot easier if possible plotters could know this at a glance.
As of right now (FEB•16•2012) the code is set up, but our Code Mod--Plixlze--has set up a *lovely* custom mini-profile, and so I will need to contact her about altering it to fit this code. Because of that, statuses will not be displayed right now, but feel free to set it as appropriate in the meantime. :)
Posting Backgrounds
We now have a code installed where you can add a background to any of your board posts! To do this, simply post [PBG:*]IMAGE URL[/PBG:*] at the very beginning of your post (take out the *s!!). I reccommend using simple, smooth, tileable images that will contrast well with your text. All typed text on Painted is set to black (#000000), unless you change it via UBBC code. In addition, any background images that are painful to look at due to color combination, or make it difficult to read the text, will be taken down without warning. Please do not make this a problem.
For further details about this code, here's a brief cheat-sheet to utilizing it best:
image repeating:
nr = no repeat
rx = repeat horiz only
ry = repeat vertically only
image position:
cx = center horiz
cy = center vertically
simply type
[*PBG:]URL OF IMAGE[*/PBG:] into your post to add a background.
switches come right after [*PBG: and before ]. like:
[*PBG:nr,cx,cy]
Do not post these with *s.
seperate switches with commas. use lowercase for switches.
Indefinite Login
I believe that this means that once you log in, you will not be logged out until you manually log yourself out. This is a pretty simple, rather subtle change.
Menu Bar Changes
I simply removed some categories. No worries. Does anyone ever click "Help" or "Search" anyways?? e.e I didn't think anyone did....
Pulses
Pulses are the new currency that is currently in the process of being fully installed. Unlike many other sites with currencies, Pulses are not earned per post. Think of them like gold stars; you get them for doing things that staff recognizes to be award-worthy. We're still working on getting everything rolling with that, but once it's up and running, you'll be rewarded with cool bonuses depending on your Pulses. ~♥

Enjoy! |
