Hiya,

Today I added a new theme to the forums, a darker one for folks like tramsan who uses a darkish Windows Theme and the site appeared way too bright.

You can switch between the default one and the dark theme at each page footer.


Since not all parts are skinnable (e.g. the plugins I wrote) some portions of our website will stick to the default theme: Wrangler, Chat, Invetory Browser the Home page and most Emoticons/Smilies render somewhat odd.

If there's some more freetime I'll add skinning support for those aswell.

Hiya,

Our Forum got updated to 2.1.6 last week and also recieved a couple of hotfixes since this.

Currently IPB (The forum software) in general seems to be target of some bored wanna-be-hackers and the number of break-in reports somewhat did increase at other forums.

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of a few security things to keep in mind, so even if our board gets infiltrated, a simple database restore brings it back to life: "hacker gone, restore, no harm done".

• Avoid to store any game account information (login/pass) in your PMs or even Posts
• Don't use the very same password for all forums or community sites. If you got a hard time remember passwords a nice trick is to use the same pass but add some letter combination from the url to each password (e.g. PASSWORDrdk) - rdk would be reclamation.dk
• You can safely pick a longer password and keep signed in between sessions (e.g. pc reboot) - the password recovery options is always there to quickly send out an email in order to reset the password.

Happy posting and reading!

best,
Arcat
