I really loved reading the Althanas Lore. I think its my favorite part of this site. I know I'm new here and haven't created my character (been working on him for months), but I would definitely be open to helping craft and/or organize Althanas Lore. I just want to do whatever is possible to help get it up and running. So Dirks, please...if there is anything I can do (along with the other people that have volunteered) to work on the Lore, please let me know.

The Wiki is operational. Please use this thread to discuss system related issues. I'll address the rest of the concerns in this thread when I can. Feel free to post here if there is anything you'd like to add.
This is more an issue I've recently noticed than something I want, but... recently I've had a problem with quotation marks in my posts being converted into weird characters. The worst example is found here. A couple days ago that post looked normal... now for some reason it has morphed into something hideous.

I just switched the forum language to UTF-8, which should resolve the issue. It was caused by smart quotes. Let me know if you still see it after a few days (so the server cache has time to reset).Originally Posted by Breaker
Nice, that appears to have fixed it.

I was literally about to write that too.
I'm just gonna say it: I think we should bring back and promote Archon's Vault. It may not have gotten much use before, but that was partially the staff's fault because we frequently forgot to post summary requests. At the end of the day it was a feature which encouraged people to read each others work and allowed people to gain AP. Those are both things we could really use more of. I say we bring back Archon's Vault and give double rewards for summaries submitted in the first month or two.

For those who are confused, Archon's Vault was supposed to be an archive of all the completed threads on Althanas. Users would post summaries in exchange for rewards to encourage others to read threads (essentially book reports). There was nothing canon about it. It was simply a way to permanently highlight your writing and encouarge others to read your work. It wasn't very popular, so I axed it. Given Workshop feedback is so rare (which frankly should be our focus), I have no intention of bringing this back at our current activity levels.
