In the spring you should make the skull's pupils a flower (like a Brady Bunch flower) and make the bg tint light yellow; in the summer, you should make the pupils suns (really dopey ones with spiky rays like an 8 year old would draw) and make the bg tint light green; and in fall you should make the pupils leaves and the tint rust colored. Either that or just leave it icicles and blue tint all year round and pretend you never saw this post. (Personally, I don't get the tint. It doesn't make intuitive sense.)

The Pub is doing some major renovation and reorganization of the Raids, Boarding Parties & Pyrate Events forums. Those of you that Moderate Event Forums in the Raids, Boarding Parties & Pyrate Events section will likely be bumped from your Moderator duties, with the threads in those event forums being consolidated into a single event thread. In rare instances where the amount of conversation threads warrant the need of an event forum – a forum will be made to support that event. Until this mess is cleaned up and gets it's sea legs, the Raids, Boarding Parties & Pyrate Events forum will be closed until further notice.

Some of you who do not follow the Pyracy Pub's status on Facebook will have noted that the Pub was down for many days. Please let me explain. The company that handles our overall service and carries the Pub on their servers were updating their entire system and software. The Pub has a number of custom written codes and protocols that help reduce spam and traffic issues, and which also increase our posting capacities and archiving. So in addition to new software, these custom codes for the Pub created a connection issue during the transition, so some code had to be re-written. We appreciate your patience. We assure you that everything is carefully archived and we kee…

Not seeing any new topics (the lazy person's short cut--that would be mine!) Looks like there haven't been any new conversations in the last two weeks, and I know that isn't right. Or is it? Hopefully when I go back and check, this will pop up. We'll see!

I don't see anything like the "See all unread topics" link as before. Is something like that in the works? It was a real time saver. I don't want to have to visit every sub-forum to see if there's an interesting thread going on.

Wonderin why some of my conversations have red X's in front of them, and wont let me reply? I just had one happen after conversing with Animal about stuff. I'm pretty sure I didn't piss him off or nuthin so's he'd block me. Same with a couple earlier ones with Silas Thatcher, and again, he just got a striker kit from me, so I don't think he's pissed at me either. WTF? Bo

For all those of you that have contacted me via PM over the Tavern to ask about the issue with the wait in between PM's this was done to protect against Spam. I do not have the particulars on if this will be permanant or not. I do not know if we can shorten the time between PM's. I sent a message to the other Mods as well as Stynky and WE shall let you know when we find out. Till then carry on as normal as you can. Regards, Syren

With the new software we now have a "Reputation Points". It seems that the only way you get them is members rate your posts! 1 point (Plus or Minus) per post per member. So get to rating your friends. At least that is how it seems to work. PS Stynky if I'm wrong please correct me.

I have used links to the forum in many places - on my website, in social media, here in the Pub itself. They used to be in this form: https://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=10480 They are now in this form: https:// pyracy.com/topic/11787-bale-seals-company-emblems-makers-marks-trade-symbols/page/2/#comments When the mods were trying to sort topics out of the huge pile a few months ago in preparation for restarting the Pub, the old form worked. (I checked a couple at the time.) It no longer works. Can we adjust it so the old form still works? It must be able to be done because it was working before forum was restored by someone else. Otherwise, the…

Ahoy Shipmates, A couple days ago, on January 20th - the company that hosts our Pyracy.com web and email servers had a security breach. Unauthorized activity was detected in one of the company databases and immediately shut down. No one's email, user data, or personal information was accessed. However it's strongly advised that if you have an @pyracy.com email account, that you have your email password changed. If you have an @pyracy.com email account, contact Stynky to have your email password changed. As a precautionary measure, I urge everyone on Pyracy Pub to change their Pyracy.com login password. If anyone has any issues or problems accessing their Pyracy.com o…

A little over a year ago there must have been a gap in security and someone got in and posted comments on a bunch of photos in the gallery that were filled with SPAM links. The gap has been closed, but the comments are still there. They look like this: On the plus side, these links are only possible to see if you actually happen to be looking at the photo. On the minus side, they're just that much more SPAM. So if you happen to be looking at the photo gallery and you see such, please click on the 'Report' button and we'll go in and delete them. At least one user has been doing this for us which is why it was even noticed in the first place. So if you happen to see it, …

Is it possible to have a particular post appear at the top of each page of a thread? I am thinking specifically of game threads (like the movie quotes game) here - the rules need to appear over and over again or they get lost. This could also work in pass-along story threads (to remind people of who the characters are, for example), in the Roll Call thread in the PiP forum and in index threads so that the initial post containing all the indexes would appear at the top of each page. (People sometimes start chatting in such threads and the initial post of interest to those not involved in the chat gets lost, rendering the thread less useful.) So?

In the ( old ) scheme of things, we use to be able to have a profile picture, that displayed in profile and a user avatar image that displayed when making posts. The recent software upgrade seems to have broken this - and I'm sorry to say I don't see an easy fix. In any case - it appears our user avatars and profile pictures are one in the same now.

I was playing around with the skin editor...without permission or anything... and I accidentally changed the forum colors to the skin I created. I can't quite figure out how to change it back, but I sort of like the new one. (But then, I would.) Anyhow, I don't know if Stynky will keep it or not, but it was sort of fun to play with. (As you may have noticed, I am a fan of the old colors - the browns we had before we upgraded the first time. I did hate that dark colored woody background we used to have, but the browns are piratey IMO. Blue is Facebooky.)

I am a big fan of search functions on forums as I sometimes use them to type in things I want to use later or copy into my notes. But have you ever had the problem where you search a forum and you come up with a thread with dozens of pages of replies? The forum (so far) doesn't take you directly to the page where the search term came up. However, I stumbled across something that may be helpful just now. If you are inside of a particular thread, you can search that thread only and the search function will produce all the posts that contain the word you want. So rather than clicking through dozens of the pages, all you have to do is select the thread containing the term an…

Like those damned grocery stores - just when you get comfortable with where they've stocked your favorite brand of hardtack, everything gets shuffled around and you can't find anything. Well believe it or not - in an attempt to make this unwieldy vessel into something a bit more navigable, a whole lot of changes are on the horizon. Now you don't have to like it, just pretend to. - Stynk
