Okay, so the news section has been a little slow lately while we've been making the final modifications to the site. You can expect more regular updates about the goings-on of the SG community from now on, including a community-wide competition that we should be announcing in the next few days.
But before we go back, here's a quick recap of some stuff you should know:
1. The site is back up, and I'm running regular backups again so hopefully we won't have another prolonged downtime again, ever.
2. The old theme has been restored, or at least as closely as I can remember. There's a good chance that I've missed some stuff, though, so if you see any visual bugs or things appearing in weird colours, let me know.
3. Our email script had a few bugs in it. Hopefully they are all gone now, but if you have not received an account confirmation email from the site (or know someone in the same situation), please just try logging in anyway, as I've gone through and manually confirmed all those accounts.
4. A large number of threads from the old site have been archived, and are listed in the Archives Thread. If there's content from before the downtime that you want to try restoring, have a look there first.
5. Emoticons have been replaced with (very slightly modified) art straight from the game itself, with thanks to Lab Zero for the originals. The other icons, such as the Ms.Fortune punhead, etc. haven't been added again while we look into getting a cohesive set of icons made up.
6. You can now select your team again in your profile. Now with an improved system that means you can't select more than 3 characters and completely bork the site's CSS.
Is there something from the old SH that I've forgotten to re-implement, or a new feature you'd like to see? Let us know, and we'll see what we can do!
