That's right. My plumage is brighter than yours.
With the whole new update all coming at me at once, its hard to take in moderation. Everything is fantastic, pretty, glorious . . . . [/end praise]
One thing we have yet to see, however, are the new chapters. Now, I've read the news update, and I'm aware that the programmers are still working on the chapters to make them not only prettier to go along with the new site update, but also make them more functional. As stated in the news story, they want to bring back the 'uniqueness' of the olde chapters (pre-2004-Hotness).
It's safe to assume, though, that even if they are working to bring back the uniqueness of the olde chapters, they won't be exactly the same. However, there's no reason why we can't hope and plan ahead, for, if they do decide to make the new chapters more like the olde ones, then members (especially the newer ones) are going to need to learn how to use them. This mainly includes, in my opinion, the database system. Any olde member can recall how especially customizable the databases were, and, thus, why it would be so important to remember all of the correct coding. So, I'm making this thread as a point of reference for any new members who may need to learn how to do these things that may (or may not) make or break your chapter. So, if you can recall any of the old tricks used to prettify the chapters, please post them.
Re-note: This is only my speculation (and fervent hope) that the new chapters will resemble the olde ones. I'm aware that almost no information has been released on what the chapters will look or function like. So, please, give me a break. This is my nostalgic wish for the past to reinvent itself in the new chapters. So, if I'm wrong, then a programmer (or whomever wishes) can come along and lock this. No big deal.
