ForumPlanet: Changes/Upgrades 19:41 PST | -1313-Evil_Homer | Print NewsSoon GameSpy will roll out a number of changes to our boards. We have some nice improvements on the way to improve the overall board experiences. So keep a lookout for the following changes in the near future.
General Upgrades
The oft-requested Icon submission tool that allows users to upload their own icon.
We've removed the "your message has been posted" page between messages to make posting faster.
We have reduced posting time limit to 15 seconds between each post to speed things up.
Updated Quick Post feature with bug fixes, a new sliding interface, and new look for quick comments.
New Insider Only Features
Insiders can have colored user names. This applies to the text but not the border.
Insiders can now upload our new biggie-sized "MegIcons" (120x120 pixels)
Insiders can upload a small signature picture which will appear at the bottom of their posts.
Insiders, VIPs and above can give themselves catchy titles under their username.
There are a few things to note about the new changes. The larger MegIcons will only be available to the user who upload the icon themselves; they are not stored in a shared pool like the old icons. Check back for more info soon!
To give you an even bigger incentive, we will be giving away a brand new desktop computer and copies of Colonization (signed by the development team) to the winners of the contest. What we are looking for is simple: we want to see your best unique modification to the core game (no scenarios), in any of the following four categories:
* New In-Game Assets (art, including units, buildings, terrain sets, etc.)
* New Colonial Power/Civilizations
* Map Scripts (just a single .py file)
* Game Concept Changes (for example, adding specific artifacts for discovery)
The creator of the over-all winning Grand Prize entry will receive a desktop computer to show off to friends. In addition, the four runner-up submissions will receive a copy of Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization signed by the development team.
