You've probably already noticed, but I've been shuffling forums around to try and make EF less confusing and overwhelming for potential newbies. I'm also hoping it's more friendly to our members, and I've done some tidying up while I was at it.

So, a quick outline of the changes:

Announcements, Information and Characters boards are still where they used to be, but I've renamed that category "Starting Out". The Characters board also has a new Claims subforum that holds the model claims, skill upgrades and job centre.

The Pastimes, Plotting Board, Billboard (and Staff) boards have been moved to the bottom of the forum in a new "Out of Character" category, beneath the Roleplay boards. I've also streamlined the links in those forums so things are easier to find.

The Rumour Mill has become a subforum of the Noticeboard, which is now in the IC/OOC board, Across the Divide (in the Roleplay section). I moved it there because, while the rewards and procedures are OOC, the quests themselves are IC. The Message Network has also been moved there.

I've also moved The Anorian Expedition to the Special Events board, but I was going to do that anyway. I figured I'd mention it so you didn't think "ahhhhh, she's deleted that awesome plot where everyone dies!"

In the coming weeks, I'll also be reviewing some skins, so don't freak out if you come online and your favourite skin is all skewiff and crying or something, okay? I try not to do that stuff when people are online, but it can't always be helped.

So, yeah. No cookies for me.

P.S. Cake. You can minimise categories if you don't want to see them. That's probably most useful for the Starting Out section, especially now that the OOC stuff is elsewhere.
