Hi, I hope it's not just me but I can't find an option for fonts in the BBCode. I think you should add it, with a drop-down list for at least the classics, like Arial, Times, Comic Sans, and Cursive. I think it would be convenient because I've been owled about how I used the fonts. I know there's a section on how to use BBCode but I feel like there should be a button for fonts as well.

The fonts that you see on that list in the BB code do not work on every browser type [such as Chrome, FireFox and Internet Explorer]. That is why I have them listed there for you so you can see which ones work for you. There are likely many more that I have listed in fact, but the more unusual ones would be supported in even less browsers.

Hello!
Here's my suggestion :
Here's my suggestion :
It's only a suggestion, if it needs to be detailed I should be able to work on it a little more! If you want to discuss about it, you're welcome too!OOC MENTORINGWhat is it?
The idea is to offer personal help and guidance to newbies by assigning them a tutor who would be there to answer their questions and exchange with them as long as they feel the need.
It would be based on volunteering : anyone could apply to become a tutor.
Positive aspects
It would help shy people to build a first link OC (and maybe IC then), get confident on the forum earlier,... and help them to take their marks and browse easily in that maze-looking website filled with so many rooms and threads.
Negative aspects (but with solutions)
There's a risk for tutors to end up with players who disappear after a few days. But maybe allow them then to take another protégé if the first one vanished into thin air ?
It may be an echo to Quill Pals but I think the link between tutor and his/her "disciple" is different from the link between two quill pals, at least at the beginning of mentoring.
How to organise it ?
Tutor role applies Tutors could apply on precise conditions (example : 3 months experience, 5 completed RPGs, 5 returned homeworks,...) and by answering by owl to a short questionnaire about OC rules, context, IC topics as character pages etc. Depending whether answers are right and precise or not, the user would be allowed to become a tutor (or not).
Ask for mentoring
To get a tutor, people would only have to ask as a response in the presentation thread.
Tutor/novice repartition
Now I'm thinking about two different ways :
- People getting paired by someone else (staff member or someone globally managing mentoring)
- Tutors directly answering to newbies and accepting them
Novices would be the one who choose when to put an end to mentoring and stand on their own two feets!

Submitting for a student that I will keep anonym:
I don't know if this will help at all... But I'm a member of a[nother] forum which tried a system of allowing player-created things: planets, races, equipment, etc. The way we did was that there were templates players had to fill out for each type of submission, and a specific section of the forum they had to post it in so that it could be looked over. They could only submit three things at a time until each was approved.
We had community judges to look at each item, and if it was approved, it would get an "approval" stamp on the bottom of that post as a reply and then moved into a database of other player-made things within a section of the forum that was separate from the RP area, but viewable by all players. Each item was put into their subsections by category. If a submission wasn't approved, the judge would post why as a reply to that post and make recommendations. If those were followed, the player was to alert the judges to those edits, and they would look it over again, and so on.
If for some reason, the submission simply could not be allowed, such as the player not following judge suggestions, or the presentation just not working out despite best efforts, it would get a "denied" stamp and moved to a different section of the forum were such things were archived as an example of what not to do. The judging was a thankless job, but we did get plenty of cool stuff out of it. The basics of judgment were that said thing had to make sense in-universe and in its own context, and not plagiarize anything, if that makes any sense.

Not sure if this idea has been considered, but here it is:
All potions/spells should have the option of being learnt in the same way Extra Lessons are conducted (i.e. the Bubble Producing Charm and Eyeglass Repair Charm). Your character isn't anonymous, it's RPed in a specific environment, House points aren't an incentive, word count still applies, a prof/mod would have to approve the spell's/potion's completion, and I find those much more realistic and rewarding to complete, since I would love to add these sorts of milestones to my character's RP list. This could be an alternative way for our characters to learn spells and potions, aside from the Homework system.
Main reason why I voice this idea is that I… hate. dealing with Homework. I'd rather do a straightforward RP of my character learning how to do the spell/potion than having to tackle a bunch of side questions and "creative" RPs in doing Homework. I have nothing against the Homework system, it should be the main way to earn House points, but it shouldn't be the only gateway to acquiring knowledge of a certain spell/potion, for those who'd like an alternative.
Thanks for reading!

All spells have an alternative means of being learned by also graduating for the year. When you graduate, you automatically learn all of the spells. There is also the use of abilities for the learning of spells through roleplay rather than homework for a single class. It is considered a boon by some because they get earlier access to sells but it does come at the expense of a precious ability slot so it would be something that needs to be carefully considered before doing.

@Solomon Lear Ah, thanks for enlightening me. I didn't know you can automatically all the spells for the year once you graduate. Did some digging and I found it HERE for anyone that's curious. Little detail must've skipped my mind when I read through it the first time. *facepalm*
In that case, I'm all good with waiting the full year. *thumbs up*

Hello hello!
So my character was originally a metamorphgus, which is why they are fond of changing hair colour often. Though when I looked at people’s posts in races I realized there are many metamorphs. So then I decided to look at my second option: Dhampir, because it seemed rare and it would fit my character (I could really go into detail but im not going to), but then I thought of something because I became too lazy to look through everything.
Perhaps there could be a races list? Like, who’s a dhampir, metamorph, etc.? So instead of going through every page or every bio you could just look at the list!
