WP Update
I just updated WP, easier than expected. I kind of miss the old familiarity of the 2.6.x ACP, but this is nice too.
Thesc and BDN were on this version, it'll be weird getting used to this.
I expect to have Rock Solid up by Sunday, if I choose to use it.
General Updates – Moderator? Theme?
So we just experienced a have-hour of theme downtime on the forum. Some people may have encountered a General Error as well.
I was updating the header image on the proFormell theme and, as always, it took longer than expected. I accidently selected a diffrent default theme to be visible so I could edit proFormell, turns out it wasn't in the folder it was supposed to be (deleted), and i had to... I won't bore you with the details.
Basically the forum's got a new header image. And, if the header image is off a bit by several pixels, like it's not wide enough or 'quite right,' please take a screenshot, Prnt Scrn or Print Screen for Windows users, next to the F12 key or on that line, I don't remembert what for Macs. Just take a screenshot and PM it to me, preferably a cropped version like this. It's not a glitchy-header version image, this is how it should look. If it doesn't look like that, don't PM me about it. It's most likely not an issue. But if it does, send the image in a PM, then I'll fix it. The image must be original size, but can be cropped (full header image must be viewable, do NOT crop the edges of the header image).
Different update, and more user-related.
I've appointed a new moderator, against my previous wishes. The new mod's Forsaken, you can view the topic or his profile in these links. You must be logged in to view his profile. He's been appointed because I feel a need another helpful moderator. Nothing against Sliferz at all, I'm just saying i would like another helpful moderator. Alex (aka Newt) simply isn't active enough, though he's an Admin.
And on a different note, I've blocked almost 30 IPs from Fynmark.org, because of their spamming. I have no sympathy for them. If you're a loser enough to spam a blog in the first place, you're going to get banned.
Last note, Shadow's back from his temp-ban. He better watch out, his enemy's Forsaken now. A moderator.

After all this, I added a Pr-o-xy service (text extended so firewalls don't block this page for that word being on it) at the link, /e3, to fynmark.org. So here's the link: fynmark.org/e3. You guys can have fun with that. I really just made it to join the group of pr-o-xy providers, and so I can search the web at school since VDuck and RC are blocked. Hope you guys all enjoy the updates, and you might notice I have a contact form up. Don't spam it.
