Heya All and welcome back to the Forum!.
As you'll notice, it's gone through alot of changes. I've been wanting to do this for a while, but it's been on my back-back burner. Last week gave me a reason to pull it to the front :}
First, I've tried to take the best of mine and Varda's styles from our portions of the Valar Guild's pages and merge them to make a more interesting forum style.
Second, I've merged and shifted around some boards, as well as turning some boards into sub-boards to give a clearer layout. Boards that saw absolutely no use went the way of the dodo.
Third, I've attempted to improve board descriptions where I thought they could use it, and give clearer purpose to each board.
Most boards (that didn't already have one) should now have a sticky post at the top giving the general purpose of that board. For boards that contain sub-boards, the top level board (that is, the one seen on the forum index) is the de facto general discussion board. Any chat for that topic that doesn't fit into a sub-board is to be put there.
Hopefully all the changes to both style and organization will be for the better, though tweaks to the style at least may be made.
Unfortunately, the "Other Authors" and "Tips and Suggestions" boards are having some technical difficulties, so they are inaccessible until the difficulties are worked out.
