November 2, "Creating Reviews": I finally got around to creating the "Guide to Creating a Review" article. It took long enough, eh? I just needed time to sit down and think on it, is all. Let us know what you think, and get out there, and start creating reviews, will ya? November 3, "Suspicious Users": It appears that Google thought they could pwn us by placing a bot on our forums, randomly. I must say that it was very creatively executed, though. charlotte_littlejohn was always a peculiar member, since they never posted before today, and they became a member a week before we actually started the forums back up. Due to their recent posts, and suspicious activity (LOL), they've been banned. The material in the Bots posts was laughable, though...! There are several other members that have been questionable, and I think we'll have to keep a look-out on their behavior, too. If anyone is interested, there are some prices for Coumadin on Medicine.com...:P November 9, "Main Page Assisstance...": Well, as you may know, Mandy and Ice Mario were kind enough to donate a domain to us. It is a personal heartache of mine that I have no idea what to do once I get to the Control Panel. Try as I might, there seems to be nothing I can do to edit any information therein. Therefore, I will be needing the help of one of you. I know that some of you have your own websites, and may have an idea, as to how to work the Control Panel. It requires (I'm almost certain of this) that you know HTML coding rather well. I ask that if you don't know anything about coding the site, do not worry about contacting us to "give it a shot," since we want to find someone as efficiently as we can. If you're interested in becoming our "Web Master," please contact me via PM and let me know what you're capable of. We appreciate your help greatly! November 14, "Awards": Since the final week of July, I have been trying very hard to find a clever way to implment an award system on our Forums. My idea was to change the pips from little Blue boxes, to sets of little pictures for each individual member. The task would have been tedious, and I was grasping onto lost hopes that there was actually a Reward System built for InvisionFree Forums. Luckily, I held on just long enough. Today, I received a piece of wonderful news from a member on the Help Forums, where he gave me a link to a short tutorial on how to create reward systems. I was more than overjoyed (as the other staff members can tell you)...We now, dear friends, have a great Reward System prepared, and are ready to use it as soon as winners are announced for Round 5, in "Activities Central". For a sneak peek at the function, take a look at the bottom portion of my user box. You should see a small trophy, with the text, "undefined" near it. The sooner you get involved, the sooner you can start collecting your trophies! November 22, "Broken Links": My sincerest apologies that the site is currently riddled with broken links. PixelQueen (Mandy) has the images uploaded to her personal site, and I guess something happened with it today. I'll continue trying to get ahold of her, and we'll see if we can't get things back in working order. For now, you can at least continue to walk around in the dark, I suppose. November 26, "RD Staff": As some of you may know, Platinum Jinjo has decided that he needs a bit of personal time to get some things sorted out, and has reported that he won't be around Reel Discussion for several months. As a result, we have named Platinum in the "Vacation" group. This being said, let's move onto the new business. Because of Platinum's absence, we will be in need of new members for our moderation team. Even though our site doesn't require much moderation, aside from the occassional moved/deleted thread, we find it necessary to have multiple members on staff, in case of an emergency. So TWO new moderators will be added to the Reel Discussion team, and Platinum's name will be temporarily removed from the Duty list. We had a handful of members in mind, but felt that it was better to hold an open-application system. This way, we can makesure that we pick the best members for the job. In order to apply for the position, simply send dmoss, Magic, and Echo a PM (all three, in order to assure efficiency], including why you think you would be a great addition to the team. We'll look over all of the applications and make our decisions A.S.A.P. Please have all applications turned in by Tomorrow Evening [November 27th] @ 8:00 PM [CST]. Thanks, and good luck to all applicants! November 26, "New Site Location": Try as we might, it seems that right now, it's not going to be practical for us to have our main site use HTML and such. However, after some hard thought and a busy evening, we've created our newest [and hopefully last before our *real* site] installment! There were many reasons that we've moved the site, which I go into on the site itself, but we appreciate everyone's help and support as we make the shift. I was able to successfully prepare the site to have reviews and trailers posted. Also, all of the members of the Reel Discussion Squad will have the ability to post on the new site. Enjoy our new location, and please don't be afraid to send us material [ie: reviews] for the site! We'll be updating the "Weekly Flick" each week on Friday afternoon, so be sure to keep an eye out for that, as well! Without further ado, we present you with our newest installment of Reel Discussion... Reel Discussion |

I would like to give credit to myself, and Platinum. I was the one who made the topic discussing it. But good job actually implementing it into the system and doing something about it unlike me! Kudos!

The images appear to be working now, no idea what happened. Let me know if I'm the only one who can see them though XD I'm looking into implementing a CMS system (content management system) for the site so it can easily be updated with reviews etc. (I'm taking a look tonight) I was wondering if the width of the forums had increased? It might just be firefox, I can't check in IE, it won't work for some reason. PS Word up RD!! I've missed you. PPS Those leaves get in my way

Maybe my browser just hasn't adjusted quite yet, but I can't see them...yet.
Thanks so much, Manders!
