Hello, my beautiful Writing Home users!

Over the next week, if all goes accordingly, we will be adding a few new add-ons to assist both admins and users of Writing Home.

As of now, these are three of the known add-ons we will be introducing (assuming there are no hiccups in their uploading).
There may be more added to this list as the days go on, but for now, these are the 3 we know we will be attempting to implement.

Ultimate Forum Rules

The Ultimate Forum Rules is an add-on that will allow us to create a box at the top of specific forums to remind users of the most important rules.
We do not plan to use this in all categories, but in those where rules are more likely forgotten.
Examples:

1 x 1 section: We can remind people of our adult content rule as well as our no blood-related incest rule (as it's more likely be overlooked since it is commonly allowed on other sites).
The Building Block: We can remind people these are forums where people are designing characters/threads and are not active searches or for open posting without permission.

Doing this will help users remember the rules, remind them of where they are if they enter the wrong forum by mistake, and will keep down the task of removing content for our admins and moderators.
Highlight User Participated Threads

The Highlight User Participated Threads is an an add-on that will make it easier for users to find threads in the list that they are active in or have been active in without scrolling.
When you have actively participated/posted in a thread, the thread will become a new color on the main list, making it easier to spot.

However, this will not, as of our current knowledge, change colors just because you've been inside the thread. We will be looking for an add-on of this nature in the future if this one does not have such settings to help users in the active searches know where they've already been.
Change Content Owner

The Change Content Owner is an add-on that will allow the owner of a thread to be changed to another user.
For example, if the owner of an active group roleplay decides they no longer want to be part of the thread, they can choose an active member they trust to take over.
They will then contact an admin/moderator and they will swap the thread ownership to the person of choice, giving them control of the threads and removing the original owner.
This will help cut down on roleplays being shut down because the original owner no longer wishes to be part of it, helping to keep active roleplays going over a longer period of time.
