Stay updated on our updates!

[Poryhack]

Rather than posting a new thread each time we make an update to the site (and yes, it will be happening quite often), the staff will make a post here detailing each update. Not all of it will be of interest to you but this is ultimately here to inform. If you need to comment on one of these updates make a new thread in the feedback forum.

Enjoy!

UPDATE:
The European Pokémon Ranch Event Download Page (http://projectpokemon.org/games/eventdownloadsrancheuro.php) and the American Pokémon Ranch Event Download Page (http://projectpokemon.org/games/eventdownloadsranchusa.php) have both been fixed. Prior to this fix, the American one was completely messed up and the European page did not exist.

Thank you to mewcuss for pointing out these errors.

[coolbho3000]

Fenzo666 has fixed Pokésav Platinum to use the accented "é." We will re-implement PCD Safe on the main site soon to import Wonder Cards with foreign characters.

[Poryhack]

I updated the Event PKM and WC Contribution Thread (http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?p=261) with new missing and upcoming events.

[Roland]

I've updated the ROM Editing section to add the tools (http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=324).
The tool thread will be updated regularly.

[Poryhack]

Forgot to mention this yesterday; edit notices are now displayed for admins. This was done mainly so that when stickies/first posts are updated, people know when and by who.

[Poryhack]

Our rules (http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?t=279)have been revamped. Even if you've read them previously I recommend a reread as lots has been added. We've also finished our implementation of an infraction system.

[Poryhack]

This is just a reminder that you don't have to use the boring vB default skin. We set it as the default because Techron has some compatibility issues and will only work once you've used the default skin once.

If you'd like to set Techron as your default you may do so here (http://projectpokemon.org/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions#sel_newstyleset).

[Poryhack]

Fixed the missing report button (mods see new forum), added some of the classic pokesav.org smilies, edit permissions so that all users can edit their topic titles, and edited permissions so that users can add polls to their topic at any time.

:grog: :kikkoman: :creep: :bidoof:

[Poryhack]

Fixed something that had been annoying me regarding unread threads. It was automatically marking threads as read just because I'd been browsing the forums for so long; now unread threads are stored in a database and won't be marked read until you visit them.

This had the minor drawback of setting all threads back to unread. You can use the "mark all forums read" link on the main forum menu to fix this.

[Poryhack]

Rules have been refined. Language restrictions were removed for now, a couple things were expanded upon to be more specific, and a signature rule was added in.

[coolbho3000]

Follow us on Twitter!

[Poryhack]

The post layout has been changed to legacy for my sanity.

Also a gender field has been added, go to the "edit your details" page of your user CP to set it.

[fenzo666]

Greencat has been promoted. He is now the moderator of the entire Pokemon Games Forum.

[Poryhack]

Battling and trading forums have been split.

[SCV]

The first incarnation of the pokdex is now out.

http://projectpokemon.org/pokedex/ (http://projectpokemon.org/forums/../pokedex/)

[SCV]

We have added a new style to the forums. Credit goes to The Fallen (http://projectpokemon.org/forums/member.php?u=472) for making it. It is named "Project Pokémon" in the style options.

[Poryhack]

The rules have been updated with cheating in tournaments clause. I recommend reading it.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

We have decided that posts in the battling forum will count, posts in the trade forum will not. If you have objections post them in the feedback forum.

[Poryhack]

A creative discussion forum for art, music, literature, etc. has been created.

[coolbho3000]

We have added two new BBcodes to easily post sprites of all 493 Pokémon. To use them, simply use the and [icon] BBcodes and put the three digit national dex number of the Pokémon in between. The [sprite] tag is for the large sprite of the Pokémon, and the [icon] tag is for the small icon of the Pokémon.

Putting 001 in between the tags will result in the following, for example:

[sprite]001 and 001

[shinysprite] will also post a shiny version of the above.

[SCV]

The data for Platinum Move Tutor moves has been added to the Pokédex.

[coolbho3000]

A new page has been added to the site:
http://projectpokemon.org/games/shoddy.php

It explains the Shoddy server and has a server status indicator (UP or DOWN)

[SCV]

Everyone is now allowed to have custom user titles. If we determine something as inappropriate we will erase it.

[SCV]

The wiki is off for a while. Will be back soon.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Its back.

[fenzo666]

The Fallen is now a moderator.

[SCV]

Visitor messages have been enabled.

Enable it in your User CP

[SCV]

In case you did not notice, we also enabled Social Groups, Friends, Albums and Profile Styling.

[SCV]

There is now a DP pokedex. For now its separate from the platinum one.

[coolbho3000]

This is an important issue that I've forgotten to address. It seems that some people are requesting content from the old forums. I'm just letting everyone know that all the posts and topics from the old forums are still visible here:

http://forum.pokesav.org/index.php

Note the /index.php at the end. Adding that that will not redirect you to the new forums. The old forums are locked as an archive - you will not be able to register and you will not be able to post. If you were previously registered on the forums, you may still log in to see your PMs.

[coolbho3000]

After a few hours of being broken, the RSS and Atom feeds are now back up and fully running. Twitter will update with the new news soon (it depends on those feeds). Sorry for the inconvenience!

[fenzo666]

Pokémon BBCode Button Images Added
Several adjustments and additions have been made to the forums.
