Bookmarks

Monthly Events
This month, both of our holidays for the month of April are going to have active components.
The second week of April on the island is the annual tradition of celebrating Adoptions. Many of the island residents don't have, or are separated from their parents, and could maybe use some parental figures. As part of the holiday a joint venture between the Academy and city government is sponsoring an Adoption Drive. OOC a thread will be posted for child characters looking for adoption and adult characters looking to adopt.
The YOTG plot will continue later in the month as April announces what they've been cooking up. Stay tuned for more information.
At the end of the month there will be an ICC event around Hexxenacht to celebrate. More details to come in the Mid-Month Announcements later this month.
Find all the details here.
Monthly Challenges
As usual there's a new set of challenges posted for this month. Check them out here.

Island Happenings
We've updated to Spring Island Happenings, with new threads for each. You can find them all in the island happenings forum.
Odds 'n Ends
Two reminders: If you are changing your character image, this is classed as a major change and should be posted in Major Application Changes. In addition, please do not remove species tags from character applications. If you feel they're incorrect, please reach out to the mod who took your app.
We now have a bookmarks feature. You can read all about how it works under this spoiler.
- To save a bookmark, click the 'Bookmark' link located at the bottom of each thread post or profile post. Each bookmark may include a note to remind yourself as to why you decided to bookmark it in the first place.
- These bookmarks are displayed on your Account page where they may be viewed, edited, or deleted.
- Bookmarks display a note, a snippet of the post message, as well as an overlay of the post. Each bookmark contains:
— Optional note to self.
— Post message snippet which may include thumbnails of any attachments.
— An overlay with the post message (without attachments), thus removing the need to physically go to the post in question. This overlay is triggered when the note to self or message snippet are clicked.
--Links to the post author, the post, and the thread or profile it belongs to.
- Shared bookmarks. Option to share bookmarks with other members. Shared bookmarks are displayed via a tab on the member profile page.
Organise bookmarks using Tags. These tags are used to filter the bookmark list on the Account page.
- Receive an alert whenever a bookmarked post status is changed. Option to receive an alert whenever a bookmarked post is deleted, edited, merged with another, or moved to a forum which the bookmark creator cannot view. All alerts provide a pop-up overlay of the post. Even bookmarked posts which get deleted provide this overlay of the deleted post contents so you may have one last look at it. These alert preferences may be set by each member via their Account page.
- Display selected bookmarks in a quick link navigation tab.
- These bookmarks are displayed on your Account page where they may be viewed, edited, or deleted.
