Hey everyone,

Just a quick update to whats been going on. There is a new version of the forum software that's out and it looks like it could be cool, (It has emoji support! :yahoo: ) and I have been slowly updating the server to receive it, however it looks like there are a lot of bugs to be worked out, so I am holding off...The servers should be stable since I won't be doing any more upgrades until the developers work out the kinks with their software.

That's it for now.


*edit* Topic Title has changed. :flyaway:

Yeah, sort of, not like on your phone tho.

So it looks like the new version of the software will require a rewrite of the dark theme. I am planning on getting back to producing and while I like messing around with creating themes and updating them, I need to manage my time a little better so I am most likely going to hire someone to create the theme or go with a new pre-made dark theme altogether. Let's face it, there's guys out there that just do themes all day long. I think we would all be better served if I just handed the work to one of them.

So eventually, there will be an update and a change to this dark theme. Those of you who use the light theme shouldn't see much of a change.
I am probably going to implement this at the end of the month.

FUNCTIONALLY, nothing will change. If anything, you'll probably like the new theme much better. Because I didn't design it :)

:band:

Dont worry, nothing is changing as of yet.

Ok, so an update on this. Server seems to be back to normal so I am looking to update the forum to the newest version. The problem with this is the dark theme will be incompatible with this new version. I will most likely ditch the dark forum style and go with a professionally written forum style that plans to add a dark version in the near future.

This new style is easy to read and will have most of the functionality of the old dark style, if not more. I simply do not have enough time to constantly update theme files so why not have a pro do it for me. I am sure you will all like the new style...

:giggle: lol sorry I was using banned usernames to test access to the blog just to make sure no unsavory types could get access :laugh:

Anyway, the blog is not totally complete but about 70% ready and that's good enough as they say in the dev world...

If anyone enjoys working with Wordpress hit me up, you could have a future with an aging company and your own cybercubicle... :no:

It looks good. The only drawback is that "The Forum Bot" keeps posting old stuff, such as random Supergirl episode threads from weeks ago.

Just a note on your blog format. I see a line way on the bottom of the page for Stories but no line for Dungeon. Also, I know us writers don't make interesting visual components for a blog page but I think we deserve at least better placement, be it stories or dungeon section. Do we have to start putting renders at the head of our stories to get attention? Just sayin'....

This will have to be a topic to discuss. I want to add a stories section and I have created a custom type just for stories. Since most stories do not have a featured image, they would be represented differently and I want to add a section for them. Putting the stories on the blog end is desirable since you have better options for formatting text, page breaks, etc. I think we need to create a topic in the stories section and discuss it but I definitely want to see them listed on the front page.

I've been wondering this too and was kind of hoping that the blog format was being implemented to promote some new Hypverse stuff.

There is a crossover Blue Angel vid at Janira Wolf's store:

I remember some custom videos were mentioned last year. Is that stuff ready for general release, if the original customers already have their finished copies?

Well, funny you should ask. I am hoping to resume shooting in March. Right now I am changing over my sites and I am putting together a fantastic roster of girls to work with. Costumes will be updated and so on and so on. This is definitely happening and I will be accepting customs once again as well. I am working on this every day, actually, which is why I've given up some power here on the board so that I can concentrate more on putting together shoots.

I trust you mean shooting hot models with a camera, rather than organizing duck shoots or some other type of shoots?

Is this one of your revamped sets in Kendra's latest video, MH?

If so, nicely done. It now has much more of a "villain's lair" look.
