Another article added - the one above, Heroes of the Alliance - I'm now going to put together a template for a credits page and post one up.

Credits page added but my attempt to create a new template has failed. The credits page currently has no content which means we need to add that soonish.

Me and Themodem will tinker with things on monday, hopefully we can get some more proposed changes on sunday which we can do on monday.

Death at Lights Door! Article added - Credited to Dunhald and the interview credited to Curin.

Please check this and the previous article over to see if everything is good for you guys.

All in all I believe this is as many new articles as this issue needs. Anything else should be going into issue 4.

We need to get this issue announced soon!  ;D I can't wait for the reaction.

I've made some improvements to the templates for some of the smaller articles - basically putting in better dividers and in one case removing the divider to make the whole thing more compact. Things are looking better but be on the lookout for articles that have been effected by it negatively.

on the website front page, when i click on contents, the link to page 8 (horoscopes) appears before the link to page 7 (Heroes of the alliance)

Not a big bug, but thought id mention it :P

Fixed!

So what's the plan Sparkyle - We announcing this issue? Also I'm still happy to teach you how to print and edit an issue when you've got some spare time.


Also me and Themodem have started altering the printing system, massively simplifying it and basically making it problem proof... Give it a while longer and we'll have a system that's incredbly difficult to make mistakes with.

The Kalu'ak article is still broken. Obviously so, or I'd say let's announce right away. Once that's sorted, we move.

I'm a little bit miffed to find that the article looks fine in both Firefox and IE 8 - if this is an IE 7 issue then I'll happily fix it but don't have a machine with it installed on...

The layout was picked as the most suitable for the number of images against the amount of text, an editorial decision I took at the time - if there is text missing please just paste it here and I will add it tonight, but as far as I'm concerned the layout is fine for publishing and certainly not a reason to keep from announcing... I will be adding more templates later on to give us more flexibility.

*rolls eyes*

Ignore me - seems to be an issue with my machine. My laptop is rendering it fine. My main rig seems to be warping the text about. Updating drivers. Apologies to all... as per usual, the more you spend on these things, the more they bugger up over elementary issues.

As for notifications, other than the mail to the Blizzguys and an ER forum post, is there anywhere else that needs a notification? I'll write a couple of form documents for cut/paste ease for teh future.

We normally advertise on these forums:

WoW-Europe:

Role Playing

Realm Forums:

Earthen Ring
Argent Dawn
Steamwheedle Cartel


And any other RP realm you can think of, but they will generally reply a lot less than the good old fans of Earthen Ring.

Are you going to add anything to the credits page? Looks a bit empty.
