Things have been crazy with the new forum set up. It will take a while to settle down there. I am hoping people give it a go before throwing hands up in the air.
We now access the forum through the game, and everyone's forum account is now linked to their game player account. New players will have an account automatically made for them. Us old characters must link our old accounts to the new system.
Click on 'forum' in bottom left of game screen. This will lead you to a screen with three major choices, beneath a 'box' which has to do with 'NPC's (Non Player Character).
To 'activate' your old forum account, click on the THIRD option. It will then ask you five simple questions to link your game character to your forum account. You should only have to do this once. Once you've activated your account you should be able to access forums.
If you click the FIRST option on the 'forum' screen from which you chose to activate your account you will be taken to a small forum board which contains those public forums to which you have access. In theory this will be Highlands Hall, your County Inn and your Town forums (plus FAQ and a few others). Please note, our forum is NOT under 'The Gathering of the Clans' in this forum.
If you click on the SECOND (French) option on the 'forum' screen from which you chose to activate account you will be taken to the much larger 'second' forum board, containing all the private subforums. You will only have access, of course, to some of these. Our clan forum is about half way down the (huge and chaotic) list of private forums. Still in the 'Kingdom of Scotland' section (about a dozen entries down).
NB among the various 'glitches' are the following:
- your avi has dissappeared, will be back later
- you will have to set up your 'profile' again for your account, adding back your banner/sig
- the 'second' forum is a strange blue colour, change it back if you want (through profile)
- the link between your character and your town isn't always correct if you are travelling. This is a big bug I think they will try and fix very quickly.
There are lots of things to complain about the new system. I'm not trying to stop you, but please be careful on the forums to complain if you must about the changes, rather than admin.

Can't find our clan forum anywhere. Of course, I don't read french, either.
I'm just grateful none of our guys got dead. I told Gryphon not to, but he doesn't always listen :-)
STILL can't find our clan forum.
STILL can't read french.
Happier every day I went into retreat...Just don't do anything worth seeing in the clan forum.
Oh robin, you should see what's been happening! I'll summarise sometime soon on this blog for posteity (and your) sake.
I'm synchronized now and commenting mostly on our forum. I'll be back from my self-imposed retreat on September 10, I hope...depends on how radiation treats me.
