"Search" sits under the Nintendo 64 Forever banner on each page or if you're really stuck just click this link. Note also that you can now also report any posts which you think are offensive or break any rules by clicking the report box underneath the post. ----- January 23, 2009 by Mop_it_up With all of the people selling their Nintendo 64's lately, I figure I'll make great use of this emoticon: Code: `:blasphemy bat:` ----- October 21, 2008 by alxbly More stuff! We all now have a blog option. If you have something to say which doesn't quite fit in any topics, why not create your own blog? It's easy; Click on "Preferences" at the top right of the page. Select "Update profile" Select "My blog" where you call name your blog and change the options. After you've named your blog you can add blog posts by clicking on your username and on your blog. We'll start a new topic in the Social Board where people can post when they've made a new blog post. Have fun. ----- October 21, 2008 by Mop_it_up ZetaBoards offers many features which InvisionFree lacked, so poke around folks, you may just stumble upon a nifty new feature that will enhance your forum experience. There's now a search function, for example, so you can quickly and easily find a topic of particular interest. You've probably noticed that there's an icon next to a member's post which will let you know if they're online, so you won't need to go back to the main page. It's now possible to embed YouTube videos into a post, so you don't need to post simple links anymore. However, please be courteous to those with a slow Internet connection and refrain from posting an excessive amount of videos in a single post. I'm quite sure there's even more to discover, so put on your headlamp and go exploring! ----- October 17, 2008 by alxbly Okay, so we've been moved to Zetaboards. You'll notice a few things are slightly different. First, the look of the site. I can't find a decent looking theme with a white background, so for the moment we're using a black background. That might change in future... let me know what you think of it! You can change the theme by using the drop down tab at the bottom left of each page. Our standard smilies have changed and some of the new ones look crap now (they were designed for a white background). I'll get these replaced with nice new ones in the next couple of days. Text: you might notice that the way text is sized has changed. It used to be Code: `[size=14]some text[/size]` , etc. Now it's Code: `[big]some text[/big]` in brackets to increase text size. I'd suggest that everyone has a look at the BBcode which applies to the site: http://s9.zetaboards.com/Nintendo_64_Forever/keys/?c=1 Avatars - I've increased the size to 150x150 pixels because the 100x100 avatars look kinda small here. There's no need to change if you don't want to... but expect jokes about my avatar being bigger than yours... ----- October 5, 2008 by alxbly Okay, one last batch of Nintendo-themed smilies. Code: `:toad:` Code: `:birdo:` Code: `:link:` Code: `:mario:` Code: `:pika:` And they're all clickable from the smilie box. ----- October 4, 2008 by alxbly Since I've been swamped with literally no requests for new smilies, I thought I'd give us some. The first is a dancing smiling: which you can use by typing: Code: `:dance:` We also have thumbs up and thumbs down smilies: Code: `:yeah:` Code: `:nope:` And a confused smilie: Code: `:eh:` And, a few of my own creations.... the N64 smilie: Code: `:n64:` Lastly, my pride and joy, the N64 kid smilie! Code: `:omg:` All the smilies are clickable from the smilie box. Enjoy! ----- September 20, 2008 by alxbly More work has been done on the archives today. I decided that we would only archive closed topics, the rest have been reopened and are in the process of being merged. We have quite a few topics that cover the same subjects so I'm merging these together. Hopefully, that will make old topics easier to find. Ultimately what I'd like to see is one discussion topic per game, plus seperate topics for other N64 related chat. In the mean time, revel in old topic bumpage. Welcome back to 2006! ----- August 25, 2008 by alxbly The latest exciting update is that I'm planning on retitling some topics to make them easier to find. Obscure topic titles can be funny but they also make finding specific topics a bit hit or miss. The Archives section is a nightmare just now, it's hard to find anything unless you know specifically what a topic was called. Anyway, post your usual encouragement and grumblings about this here and I'll do my best to take any suggestions on board. First up for the topic renaming will be the N64 Archives. The topics will all be moved to the N64 board for a short while and moved back when the renaming process is complete. If you experience any difficulties accessing the N64 board please post here or PM one of the admin staff. Thanks. ----- June 6, 2008 by alxbly, original post First up, regular members will notice a slight change in Nintendo 64 Forever's board layout. A few of the less used boards have been merged together to hopefully make Nintendo 64 Forever look a little bit neater and be slightly easier to navigate. So the Forum Guidelines have been merged into the Welcome section, which is now titled Welcome, Guidelines and Announcements. As this is the first part of the board new members are likely to visit, it seems reasonable that our guidelines should be there. Site Help and Site Suggestions were rarely used so I've merged the two sections together. The resulting (and innovatively titled) Site Help and Suggestions section is also now in the Welcome area. Feel free to comment on any of the changes or announcements in this topic.
