board features.
So I thought I'd outline the special board features we have here, since not everyone (aka new members) really know about them.

ACCOUNT COLORS
Each account has a certain color. The color key can be found here, and also at the bottom of the board. Admin and mod accounts are bold + italic, like this, while all other accounts are bold.

Aquila - Columba - Delphinus - Vulpecula - School Staff - Auror - Undetermined

CUSTOM TITLES
You know the words people put underneath their avatars? Those are called custom titles. You can edit yours in your control panel, by clicking on "My Controls" on your userbar (underneath the ad strip at the top). From there, click on "Edit Profile Info." It's the first field, called "custom member title." Type in what you want, hit amend, and you're done. 8D Easy peasy lemon squeezie.

MEMBER GROUPS
Once your character is accepted, it is immediately sorted into one of our many member groups. They're all pretty self-explanatory, for the most part. House tags (PIPs) are colored by their house, school staff members are blue, and aurors are purple. If a char is a revolutionary, you'll see the "eye of awakening" symbol in the top-left corner of their tag. Also, if the char is played by a staff member, "mod" or "admin" is placed as subtext on the tag.

FONT COLORS
So. Dialogue colors. If you haven't already noticed, I've replaced all the defaults with character colors, along with the various account colors (mostly for my convenience than for anyone else's). If you would like to request a color, reply to this thread with the character and the hex code. (If you don't know how to find a hex code, you can find one here or here.)

Color Rules:
- Don't use the same exact color as someone else (unless it's black, because that's the universal color here). I'm not saying two chars can't have different shades of red or something, but if they're the exact same color, then someone's gonna have to change theirs.
- You're free to use the account colors for your dialogue, if you want. I really don't care. Just claim one before someone else does.
- Colors can be claimed/changed at any time. Just reply here with what you want.
