Everyone!
Your attention please,
I bring news from the administrative and council tables.
As we work towards getting the forum a new theme, several other projects and ideas are well underway, both systematically and aesthetically.
One such project began with yours truly having found several things that could be done with what we have at our disposal at this point.
Allowing images in forum descriptions.
What this basically will accomplish is making the forums more immersive and help provide a better feel for the environment.
We found that sizes were an important factor and found the size of 150x75 to be appropriate both for computers, tablets and phones.
Loading time weren't any big factor as per today's standards many have a rather decent internet connection.
> They won't impact everything
> Councils decide if they want to, or not.
> Councils decide on what images is used for each area.
If you wish to see how the use of these images can impact the forums feel free to look around.
There's bound to be one or two villages that have already taken the opportunity and glamoured their village with neat images.

> They won't impact everything
- We decided that the index forums, (The ones you see in the index) will not have these images so as to not clutter the index page.
But subforums for individual villages are allowed to have these images.
This means that the forums titled "Outer Village" and "Inner Village" forums will not have images, neither will the country categories.
> Councils decide if they want to, or not.
- Villages are not forced to get images for their descriptions, it is simply another technique that can be utilized by councils if so desired.
Individual councils can choose for themselves if they desire to use it for their village.
> Councils decide on what images is used for each area.
- Councils will decide on what images are being used, and administrators will apply them to the descriptions.
The images used will need majority voting from councils before they are applied.
If you wish to see how the use of these images can impact the forums feel free to look around.
