[Gothic BC] A Typical Saturday at the "Offices" of Gothic BC

My lovely wife Valerian and I are up well before the crack of noon working hard to make your world a darker place. She's checked for overnight orders at Art of Adornment that need to be shipped today. I've been busy collecting pictures to be used for visuals at Sanctuary and for Sin City posters.


Screen Resultions Higher than 1024x768 for Linux under Parallels 4

By default Parallels allocates a very small amount of video memory for Linux installs. Simply increase the amount of available video memory to allow for the largest desired resolution. With the Parallels Tools installed you will now be able to scale the window to resolutions higher than 1024x768.


[Gothic BC] Comment Notifications

I've added an improved comment-notification feature that, like every other site out there, allows you to receive an e-mail notice when content you have authored is commented on. This long-overdue features should make the forums and blogging a lot more useful.

It is on by default and the settings can be changed on your "My account" page.


[Gothic BC] Spammers-B-Gone

After another round of posts from 3rd-world sweatshop spammers (i.e. people whose job it is to manually log into websites in order to circumvent CAPTCHA forms and post spam links) I've implemented a "troll" module that allows me to block IP, setup blacklists, and other means of fighting back.


[Gothic BC] Forums Back from the Dead

Based off what worked for the successful import of the old photo gallery comments, I've also imported all the threads from the old forum that was abandoned last year when I rebuilt the site.
