Appearance
OK, to actually start a relevant conversation here, lets see if we can make this home page usable. To put it bluntly, it's ugly now. What should/can be done?
 * Help please. This is one of the most important pages of the site, and right now below the first top thing (which is rather attractive in my opinion) it's buttugly.


 * I've never been a fan of pastels, cause they look kinda fru-fru. But I have a feeling you're also referring to the content layout. Ummm....nothing strikes me as obvious at this point, but I'll keep thinking about it. Dedridd 10:23, March 25, 2006 (EST)


 * Colors too - change them to something more attractive, my Art Director's Toolkit is broken!


 * I must admit I'm not good at making things look good... Tihocan 14:17, March 27, 2006 (EST)

Page title
The title of the Home page is Home - Modify this page, even if we're not on the edit form. Tihocan 17:14, March 27, 2006 (EST)


 * I've noticed that, too. It's the same with all non-discussion (or non-talk) pages. It started last week. Perhaps it's a subtle way to encourage people to contribute? ;) Dedridd 17:27, March 27, 2006 (EST)


 * Actually it's an error and I have no idea why the hell it has appeared - but your right, I think I'll leave it (-: changing MediaWiki:Edit though.

1000 pages!
Dangit, long time no have people talking! Lets get this community working again (-: Anyway, we just hit 1000 pages - I'm stoked! That's... a lot of pages! I think we should celebrate with the newest in a series of major changes to the layout - I got rid of the scrollie sidebar thingies - they were cool, but it was an extra click and I got some complaints in IRC. I removed the ads at top and moved them to the side, should make them a tad more annoying so we gain more clicks, at the same time as making it break the layout less. Finally, I put a network navigation bar at the bottom of the contentBox, that should help a bit to share visitors among the wikis and get some more 'net' into the 'network' (-: Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  12:52, April 25, 2006 (EDT)


 * Woohooo! Now let's aim for 10000 :P A note about the new menus: we have lost the direct links to classes, races, spells, feats, lists, enhancements, etc. that we used to have. I think we should get them back, as the new visitors are going to be lost otherwise. Tihocan 13:29, April 25, 2006 (EDT)


 * Yes, that is very broke. It's inexplicably reverted to the static MediaWiki one; don't know why. Anyway, I'm working on a new main page, see Home_Dev_2. Help me with it! I'll fix the sidebar; also check MediaWiki:Sidebar to make sure that page itself hasn't reverted, and that it really is Memcached messing up. If you can use IRC, tihocan (I can't remember) we have a channel at irc://irc.freenode.net/ - channel #enterwiki - we can discuss the new home page (-:


 * I see you fixed it, thanks! :] I know I should come over IRC, any multi-server Linux client you can recommend? Tihocan 11:11, April 26, 2006 (EDT)


 * I like to fix things fast (-: - no idea about the client, ask Xevo, he uses linux and should know... Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  11:54, April 26, 2006 (EDT)

Treasures Of Crystal Cove
Is due to be back tommorow 09/28/11 after morning hotfix per Cordovan here http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=344076 Also stated is that due to other things in the month of October?, that the event end date is not expected to be extended. I put this here since I can't edit the front page. :)

Artificer bugs
Before the recent update there two very serious bugs relating to artificers.
 * Artificer presence had a chance to prevent epic chests from opening. It would display a message like (paraphrasing) "You were not present when the quest was completed! EPIC FAIL!"
 * Artificer past life was lost while TRing.

Were these fixed in this patch? (Guessing no, since there's no mention in the release notes.) If not, there should be a big red flashing notice about it somewhere visible.
