Forum Upgrade and Archive

Welcome to the new and improved Roleplay Adventures. The forum is now running with new board software. The result is countless improvements along with every feature of the old software. The only thing you have to do to enjoy these awesome additions to RPA is re-register to the forum. Right now things may look slightly different or be a little unfamiliar but this upgrade is in no way a negative thing.

Internet Explorer users can now access the forums

One of the main reasons the forum has been upgraded is to make the forum more friendly for users of Internet Explorer. Many members sent us questions and concerns regarding errors they were experiencing. Some users were having difficulty using the private message system because of glitches with the old board software, others experienced glitches where the quick reply box did not respond and they lost entire posts.

Zetaboards could not offer any solutions to the countless support tickets we sent them. They told us only that this was happening because members were accessing the forum using Internet Explorer as their web browser. Upgrading or changing browsers should not have to be anyone’s only option. With this new software all of those errors are a thing of the past and everyone, regardless of their web browser is accommodated.


Need a few reasons to register to the newly upgraded forum? There are TONS!

Here are some of the staff’s favorites:

-No more glitches!

-No need to upgrade or change your web browser!

-A working search function!

-Private message tracking!

-Picture albums!

-A new posts feature that allows you to view threads based on newest posts rather than by category and sections.

-A detailed calendar!

-Personal friends list - An organized way to see if your friends are online and send them messages.

-Emoticons - You no longer need a space to either side of emote codes, even in the center of a sentence.

-Styles- New customized skins and themes... members now have unlimited options.

-Visitor messages – The option to leave comments in other member profiles.

-Customizable blogs!

-Rich text is available for quick replies. No need to memorize BBcoding!


We are happy to have turned our corner of the internet into a forum with more fun features for its members and more importantly we are proud to present everyone with a properly functioning forum.


The Archives

All of the information the board lost in the upgrade has been archived. For info on where to access those archives, please see this thread. (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9095) If there are any spiffy new features that were on the old board, but lacking on this one, the administration team will be more than happy to concider moving it over. Just send a courteous and polite message to our administrative staff. It should be noted that this is a privilege and that the administration team is not required to fetch information for anyone who asks nor can we guarantee that all requests can be fulfilled.



This upgrade is sure to continually impress members of this community willing to give it the chance to do so. The board now has countless new features for everyone on role-player.net, and limitless possibilities for customization of every individual experience. The staff is eager to share the new benefits of vBulletin with all of you.

The hard working members of the RPA staff, who have been at work day and night to make this upgrade comfortable, all deserve a special thanks for making this all possible.

hey RPA!

We love the New Year, don't you!?
New Year = New Stuff, at least for RPA it does!
Since we love new stuff so much, we figured that it was time for a change!

So we are letting the cat outta the bag and telling you ALL, we are upgrading the forum! New Stuff is coming, and in a big way THIS WEEKEND!

Starting this Saturday, February 11th the forum will be upgraded to a new version of VB Software. This will give us all a bunch of brand new toys and options to make things even better for all of us to have fun!

So here is what's going to happen - In the early hours of the Morning on Saturday, 2/11, Eastern Standard USA time, the site will be offline for a while to complete the formal upgrade process. We chose a time when most of you are sleeping. None of your Posts, Pm messages, Vm messages, and so on should be affected during this upgrade. You can be sure that we the staff will be working really hard to ensure that all of your things will stay intact. There might be some current features that will take longer to come back to confirm they are compatible with our new version, so don't panic when you do log back in on Saturday it is going to look different! You will have lots to see and check out with this new version!

Spoiler Alert - Unless you live in a cave (like Keeper of the Inn) we know you have heard of Facebook, right? Well our new upgrade is going to bring it right here, to RPA in a colossal way!

So tell your friends, share this news, and let us know what you think after the upgrade. We are all super excited about it.

As always, if you have any questions, or need any help with anything here, Staff members are standing by ;)

Have the best day,
The RPA Staff Team
