Help Wanted for Testing and Labeling
The thing is, though, we need some help. Basically, we need people to help test the site and help label content for the new site. So, we're asking for people to volunteer to help! For those who are potentially interested in signing up, I just want to mention a couple of things.
- Just because you sign up doesn't mean you'll be picked.
- We're not asking for help just to allow people to play around. Basically, be prepared to help out with helping us label stuff. I'll admit it may be a bit tedious, but the staff will be helping out too.
- We'll want you to be as thorough as possible with testing to make sure there are no bugs!
If you're okay with that and want to help out, please sign up by making a post in the dropbox.
Also, with the new site coming on the way, there are a few announcements that have to be made.
Hosted Quest Project Forums will no longer be given out
The new site has a quest project feature on the home site. Because of this, HQPFs are outdated and honestly have a lot fewer features. And they're a bit of a pain for the staff. So they won't be given out anymore. People who currently have HQPFs won't lose them. It's just no new ones will be handed out.
No new site submissions will be accepted after April 7th
Pending submissions are not compatible between the current site and the future site. And, because there are some things that have to be assigned for current database entries, we'll have to close off new submissions to make sure everything gets taken care of before the new site goes live.
The notepad feature will be removed on the new site
If any of you use the little profile notepad, that option doesn't seem to be in the new version of Invision Power Board. If you have anything important in there, you'll want to save it now.
-------
If things go well, I'm hoping to release the site on April 13th. Just a bit of a heads up, the site may have a default IPB blue skin rather than a customized skin when it first comes out, but I promise we'll get a skin eventually.
If you all have any comments or questions, please let me know!
