BRINGING BACK THE TITLES
@Jasonpointed out that you could no longer set custom titles, this is due to IPS removing the old member title features in place of their new Achievements/badges system which we don't use. In order to remedy this, you can now set your member title from your profile (click on edit profile) and set your "Member Title" as shown below @Gordon@Nomad
STAYING UP TO DATE!
Forum IPS Version has been updated again! (Version 4.6.4) @Ciaran

Squashin' the bugs and polishing up!
Thank you all for your patience as we transition over to our new forums powered by XenForo (Moving away from Invision Power Board). There's been a whole heap of effort put in from @Ciaran, @1A3, the devs & I to try and get everything working nicely for you, that's not to say we're done yet, there's more polishing, new features and improved functionality on the horizon, but here's a brief list of some of the changes, additions and removals thus far. As always, if there's something else you want to see, send us a suggestion!
ADDED
- Profile Video's for Donators, Lifetime Donators & Investors (https://www.roleplay.co.uk/account/account-details) @Gordon @Nomad
One of the features that I missed from our old forums, bought back! I'm not entirely happy with the positioning of the video, but that's subject to change.
- Synchronised In-Game whitelisting with Forum groups @Ciaran
Currently monitors your in-game Police, NHS & LostMC rank (and training level access) and applies the relevant access on the forums
- Forum alerts / mail sent to Discord (https://www.roleplay.co.uk/account/preferences) @Gordon
Provided you have your discord setup to allow DM's from server members, you can now enable discord notifications for various forum alerts, tick the two boxes below e-mail options on the above link and you'll be able to customise below the events that trigger a Discord DM from the forum bot!
- Dev Team section added under the support header on the navigation bar @Gordon
A link to show the members of our development team & a link to submit a dev team application both added!
CHANGED
- Increased forum width @Gordon
The default width of the forum viewport was just a tad too small for our liking. It's a bit bigger now and hopefully a little easier to read from.
- Changed the order of the sidebar widgets on the Forum homepage @Gordon
Changed the order in which the sidebar widgets appear on the forum homepage to a more sensible order
- Emphasised the "Donate" button in the navigation bar @Gordon @Nomad
Draws the eye's towards the all-important donation button, call to action!
- Allocated points to trophies @Gordon
Also have cleaned up a few trophies that were used in testing
- Wiki link opens in new tab @Gordon
The link to open up the RoleplayUK Wiki now opens in a tab of its own rather than directing away from the forums in the same tab
- Fixed permission for "Unban Accounts" @Gordon
When signing up, you can declare an account as being used as an unban account - this will lock it down, permitting only ban appeal submissions. The permissions for this were previously broken, but have now been fixed, hurrah!
REMOVED
- Removed "Forms" from main navigation bar @Gordon
This only previously served as a link to view all forms. Some forms are intended not to be instantly accessible to encourage users to read and understand their purpose through the wiki articles first
- Removed duplicate emoji's @Gordon
XenForo added its own emoji's for reactions, these have now been disabled to preserve reactions from the old forums and to prevent duplicates from appearing.
- Removed the donation widget from forum categories @Gordon
Likely a remnant of testing, the donation widget used to show when viewing a forum category, no more!
- Hidden "Staff Online" widget @Gordon
A widget that leveraged the XenForo staff system (which we don't use)
That's all for now!

Glen the Ghost 
Hey! Hope you're all keeping well? Got some housekeeping changes done today to keep everything tidy, most importantly, Glen the ghost has stopped by whilst we wrap up the Halloween season. As always, please do let us know if you see anything not working as you'd expect, we'll do our best to fix it!
ADDED
- Glen the Ghost added to top menu bar of forums @Gordon
What a cutie...
- Forum Roles for Rangers & Gruppe 6 @Gordon
Primarily cosmetic roles which display the same as other faction roles (Police, NHS, etc.)
- Role synchronisation for Rangers & Gruppe 6 @Gordon
If any of your characters are part of Gruppe 6, or the Rangers, you'll automatically have the appropriate forum roles applied!
- Re-enabled Discord DM's from the forums @Gordon
We had previously stopped the forums from sending DM's to you as we were having issues, these seem to have been resolved, so you should now get a discord DM for any forum alerts or forum DM's
- Forum award given to those who purchased the 10 year badge @Gordon
Yeah... Sorry, took longer than I wanted it to. But its done now!
- Added thread prefixes for Police, FIre & NHS for their applications @Gordon
Those responsible for reviewing applications can now apply prefixes to application threads.
CHANGED
- Changed permissions for unlinked users
Unlinked users are now much further restricted in what they're able to do. Users must link both their Steam and their Discord prior to being allowed "full" forum access.
- Added more of the community provided forum backgrounds! @Gordon
Thanks to @Isak , @Stevie & @Yogi-One-Shinobi .
- Various changes to faction applications to make some questions require a response. @Gordon
Some applicants were missing questions when applying for groups.
REMOVED
- Removed Twitch button from forum header @Gordon
Twitch team no longer in use.
- Removed unused forum roles @Gordon
A few of the old Altis Life roles remained, they're now gone.
- Removed boosted daily forum DM allowance @Gordon
This again was a remnant of the IPS forums, this is no longer functional or required.
That's all for now!

More Roles 
Just a small update today, the Judiciary folk wanted a piece of all the action, so they've now got their own synchronised roles too!
ADDED
- Forum Roles for Solicitors & Judges @Gordon
Primarily cosmetic roles which display the same as other faction roles (Police, NHS, etc.)
- Role synchronisation for Solicitors & Judges @Gordon
If any of your characters are a Solicitor or a Judge, you'll automatically have the appropriate forum roles applied!
CHANGED
- Changed Ranger synchronisation to only apply from Trainee Ranger level @Gordon
Previously, anyone who had a hunting license had the role, which doesn't make them a ranger!
REMOVED
- Halloween ghost removed @Gordon
