Also, we are still 'under construction' with installing some cool new mods. So don't freak if you cant access us or you get some weird errors.

Over the next few days, beginning today, we will be installing upgrades to our Forums. If you experience any technical difficulties, please be patient. We will do our best to complete the installation of these upgrades as quicly as possible.

I have updated the forums and category of RSS feeds the site has. I used from what i took as the more active ones. The list of feeds are:
Ladder Hall Graphics
The Last Word
The Pub & Grill
General Messages
and both D2 General Categories.

Most will display the last 15 items that have been recently replied too/started and will update every 10 minutes. I will update the list as i see other forums become more active.

As you might have heard or read before, we have switched to a better and faster server. Also, as you've undoubtedly noticed now, we upgrading our forum. Yea, you heard me, I actually got around to it.

We'll be adding more skins later (possibly recoloring the text on this one - so it's more readable) and probably do a few other things that don't naturally cross my mind at 6AM. (IMG:http://www.ladderhall.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/goofy.gif)
