That's because I am a nice person.

Or at least, my ego is such that being perceived as a nice person is important to it. :D

Also, it would have been cheating to do it with the ring. ;)

Not really...it bothers me to have the subject of the post displayed in every post...

It looks like something was started, but didn't get to far.
It's tricky shit :)
Ah, so you are "DS". :)
Well, I see a little progress every little while. No complaints, just glad to see it coming back/over.

I also see the banner is back, too! Yay.

Yeah, the gallery is proving...difficult. Vain (also known as DS ;) ) pulled in the first bunch, and I managed to import a bunch more before the import function stopped working. We have local copies of all (I think) the old pictures though, so it's just a matter of getting the rest of them back in. Hopefully in bulk, but one way or another...eventually.

One other thing ... now, when I go to the old website, I get redirected to the new website.

Is there a way to get to the old website?

There's still a few things that I wanted to get.

Uh, maybe? Or at least, what specifically? Images?

As far as I know, Vain has kept it for now...I can probably ask him for the IP of the old server and you can spoof the DNS resolution with your local hosts file to get to it. Or you can try using The Wayback Machine, but images generally don't get stored IIRC. Item images he should have a local copy of (or at least, I asked him to make a dump of them).

Lemme know, here or by PM, and I'll see what I can do...

Progress report: Just now, I have finished linking all the indexed chapter titles from The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever (the first 3 Chronicles books) so that they now go to the relevant leading posts of the chapter dissection threads on this new Kevin's Watch.

If anybody wants to check out how they are working, a shortcut to the index is provided here by clicking on the following title:

Donaldson's Other Works, I realized that all the links went to the threads on the old Kevin's Watch, so I have spent some time today making all the titles in that index link up to the relevant threads on the NEW Kevin's Watch.

All of the Group Read indexes are no doubt going to have to be redone that way, too.

I will probably get around to redoing the links in The Gap chapter discussion Index that I made, but I haven't the energy left to do that, today. :faint: :Z:

(But, soon, SOON!) :cross:
oooh great observation and great work on all the link updating!!

What an amazingly collaborative community we have here ~ just love it!

Thank you for the kind words, Skyweir! I still need to add new links to the indexes for Second Chronicles, Last Chronicles, Mordants Need, and to the "master index" in the Dissecting the Land subforum, and I promise to get working on them in the coming days.

I'm with Av. Subject for new threads, yes. For every post, no thanks.

The links to the new Kevin's Watch version of chapter dissection threads for the relevant chapters of The Wounded Land, The One Tree, and White Gold Wielder have now been applied.

If anybody wishes to check out the new links, one way is to use the shortcut by clicking on the title below:

To Vain and Avatar: I like these new "red eye icons" we can use to uncover spoiler tags, now.

LOL, built into the board, nothing to do with us. :D

And thanks for updating the Group Read links, appreciate it.

(Also, how cool is this...I assume you get a notification at least, maybe an email depending on your settings: Cord Hurn)

You're quite welcome on the Group Read links, and I'll try to tackle the Last Chronicles and Mordant's Need indexes in the next few days.

I get a notification at the top of the board index screen, is how it seems to work for me.

You can probably edit your notification settings in your user control panel to get an email for each notification if you wanted. (I don't, mainly because I (usually) visit regularly, and also because I rarely check the email address that I use for the forum.)

When I post, it doesn't go to that post I just made. I have to scroll up above the box in typing in. I'm getting used to it, so I know it's there. But at first, it seems like the post didn't take. Don't know if anybody else cares.

I don’t think I experience that at all … my notifications take me directly to the page and posts cited in the notification.

If more than one person posted ~ I just scroll up a ways to read both posts … but that’s all.

I can read messages tho at all ~ and sent Av a message via DISCORD cuz I could see a message being the board said I was not authorised to access my messages lol 😂 Go figure lol 😂

keep smiling 😊 :D 😊

Doesn't happen to me at all. Are you using the quick reply? On your phone I assume? Check your post settings?
