(How did that happen?!)

Back to Hogwarts!

Today is the day that all students return to Hogwarts! For those who are incoming first years, Beanie (Cassius Lestrange) already has the Sorting Ceremony up and running: https://charmingrp.com/showthread.php?tid=15883

Activity Check

Our next AC is next week, on September 8th! Please ensure that:
  • Your mini-profile is filled in
  • All of your characters have been listed in the Character Directory—check back on your entries to make sure they were processed properly! Anyone reactivated this month will need to be placed back on.  Also make sure your entry has an "envelope" button to show your main account!
  • Characters made before the last AC have posted at least once since the last AC
  • Profile has been filled in if not done during acceptance (Did you get a "DIY" PM? You'll need to do this!)
  • Your character's height is displayed in their mini-profile—if you reactivate an account, this may need doing!
  • All student characters have been updated for the new school year.

New Skins

Our graphics elves have been at it again, and we have four new skins dropping today:

  • Mulch & Mist with a banner by Bee
  • Autumn Leaves with a banner by Chris
  • Harvest Sun with a banner by Fallin
  • Midnight with a banner by Gin—our new dark skin!




As always you can change your skin either using the dropdown at the bottom of the board:



You can also change it via the "Edit Options" section of your User Control Panel.

Also, on the topic of graphics, those with keen eyes might spot a surprise or two from Lady...

After an embarrassing number of years, I have finally fixed up the old board/Charming Archive. For our newer members who might not be aware, it's our OG board (2010-2017). We started fresh in January 2018 carrying most of our board events and active characters over, although many things were retconned and left behind in the process. Due to a PHP update at least a year ago (probably double that, don't judge me) the old site which was running on software circa December 2017, was swamped by error messages and the ACP was non-functional so I couldn't get in to turn off the error messages. In hindsight, I could've changed our PHP version to make it work, sorted it out in the ACP, and then changed it back but I don't know if that crossed my mind or if it did and I just... didn't. Both are entirely plausible.

Anyway, yesterday I updated the software on the old board, updated a bunch of incorrect links, tidied, fixed some old skins (most are restored), and made a new default skin for our archive so it's not perpetually stuck in Christmas although it did kill me to put MJ's banner away just after restoring it. I also fixed the account switcher which stopped functioning when I update the software by about 30 versions so for older members who want to use the switcher to access old character stuff quicker, you'll need to reattach your accounts - sorry!

For our members who've joined us since 2018, it's now 90% more functional if you want to go snoop! I've also created a shared account for members who have no registered account on the archives so you can check out our old skins and should we ever decide to make the board private for some reason then there's a way to access for everyone.
