Welcome to the new Knight Realms website! was created by GJSchaller (GJSchaller)
The new website is live!
The new site is a major overhaul of the code used to run the site as well as some of the graphics (as you might have noticed...
). Changes include:
Sadly, one of the things that had to go were the old forums.knightrealms.com and gallery.knightrealms.com links... they could not work with the new SEO system in place, but they have been replaced with a newer, easier set of links ( www.knightrealms.com/forums.html and www.knightrealms.com/gallery.html )
Of course, I'm only human - if you see any dead links or other issues, please post them here, and I'll update the site.
Thank you, and enjoy!
The new site is a major overhaul of the code used to run the site as well as some of the graphics (as you might have noticed...
- New graphics done by James C. Kimball himself!
- The site is now running on Joomla 1.5 (instead of 1.0), which offers increased security & stability, as well as ease of use for the Staff, and additional add-ons (like the new Rulebook listing).
- The layout of the site is done entirely in CSS, instead of HTML tables. This should speed up the site dramatically, as it reduces the amount of code needed to run it.
- A new, more functional (and stable) Forums & Gallery link, called JFusion.
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO), to make the site friendlier to Google and other sites.
- The inclusion of Sponsored Links, for companies that offer KR members discounts.

I agree Geoff this site now looks amazing. Also I had a very minor question. I can't see how many pms I have any longer when I first sign in. When we get new pms will the site indicate that, or will I have to go into my messages to check? Not a big deal, again merely curious. Thanks

James didn't like it under the icon on the left... he asked me to limit it to the Forums only, so as not to clutter the sidebars.

GJ Jeff. Nice face lift.
With this update, has the forum lost the functionality to list only those posts an individual has not read yet? That was a helpful tool to quickly scan new topics.
