Good gracious me....
I dunno if anyone even remembers me at this point. Name's Riku. I joined for a short time about four years ago. I left due to a lack of interest on my part and too many sites to keep track of as well as a general dry spell creative-wise. The leader said they would keep my account for me in case I ever came back and it seems to have held true.
I don't know if I'm back for real but one reason I've returned is that I was suddenly getting the Syrunn newsletter via email and it prompted me to take a look. The place is a bit different and I can't seem to access my PMs, the link to them appears for a moment then hides before I can click on it. Is there any way to get to them?
I'll be on the next few days re-aquainting myself with the place and deciding whether I'm ready for a proper return or not. The past year or so I've been experiancing some serious writer's block and I'm out of practice, but expect to see me haunting around. Unless I hid my status for whatever reason that may have been four years ago.

Hello Riku! I'm Niva, I doubt we met because I was really flighty in the beginning of Syrunn's conception. Regardless, it's nice to see you've returned (possibly) and if we can help with re-acquainting you, let us know. :3
Anyways, are you referring to the link to your PMs in the sidebar? I don't understand why that wouldn't work for you. It seems to be working properly on my end. However, if you can't reach your PMs via that link, there is the link in the info center. Go to the homepage, and down bottom where you'd log in, there should be a link which is standard with Proboards layout to your PMs.

Aha, hey, Riku. Yes, I do remember you (and, er, my apologies for killing your character last time around).
As you mentioned, things have been changed around here, and there's probably more adjustment and fine tweaking to come. So, take your time and browse around. See if the changes are to your liking. If you like what you see, that's awesome, the more the merrier. If not, that's cool, too. No pressure on coming back or anything, you know?
EDIT: Oops, got Ninja'd about the PM.

Hi there, Riku! I'm Chi, the site's current admin. :3 It would be amazing to have you back; I'm honestly so surprised that those newsletters reach so far, so it's a serious boost for me to keep doing them, aha.
I'm not sure what's up with the PMs. :L I'll take a look at your account and see if it's something on our part that's gone wrong. Hopefully it can be solved, but if not it may be the case that it's easier to make a new account (but that's totally up to you, of course). As for Syrunn, as the others have said, we're still in the process of a big upheaval, but I'm gonna try and keep everyone updated each month through the newsletters.
Writers block is one of the most harrowing things that can happen to someone, imo. e.o I hope it clears up soon. Either way, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to bring it up in the CBox. (: I'd say PM a staff member, but... heh, yeah.
Happy haunting!

Hmm, may be a prob on my end, people's usernames and avatars are not showing up to the side of the posts either. I only know Kamui Syvil VII because it says you edited your post. ^__^;
At the top of the page a little message appears saying "Hey Riku you have 2 messages" along with the day's date. I usually rely on that to get to my messages on other sites but here it disappears to be replaced with a white bar that looks roughly the size of an advertisement. (I did manage to click it once and get to my inbox, thankfully they were just old messages from way back when.)
Ah yes, the killing of the character, surprised you remember. It took me a long time to forgive you for that, it was the first time anyone had killed one of my characters off in roleplaying, especially as it was only his first run. I was quite unprepared. But this time I will be ready and hopefully my skills will be more sharpened. Though with this creative block I may have relapsed. Been mostly roleplaying with people a bit beneath my potential so I haven’t really been challenged to sit back and think as hard about each post.
Anywho; Thanks for the welcome Niva, Kamui, and Chi.I look forward to reacquainting myself with the place and if I have questions I won’t hesitate to ask them. ^___^
I didn’t expect such quick responses, the other places I’m at are a bit slow this season. I feel strangely nostalgic.

So I've heard of this character killing, thing. Yeah how does that even happen? LOL. I'm sorry, but oddly I find it quite hilarious >.>.
Anyways, Riku could you perhaps take a screenshot of your browser for me? If I can get a better look, I may be able to properly diagnose the problem and help you. I'm kinda blind here, I don't know what it looks like for you, and that makes it more challenging to try to solve your problem.
In any case, I'm glad you've returned and I do look forward to getting to know you. :3 It's also a marvel that you read the update mail, it does excite Chi and I bit. Hurrr.

Man, I feel terrible about that, Riku. I really don't know what I was thinking way back then. I was being stupid and totally overdoing it with my character. That was just my bad, man, my bad.

Ah! I'm no computer whizz like Niva, but I noticed your browser is IE, right? I'm not sure, but I think our layouts are more designed for Chrome and FireFox, so that may well be your problem. Hurr. But, as you said, if your computer is very old and has trouble updating, that could be another factor. Poor old compys. D:
As for this character killing, Kamui, I am appalled! Aha, was this unsolicited killing? I'd be very upset, personally. xD

Okay, so I'm a little late here, but happy possible return to Syrunn, Riku! I did get terribly confused when I first saw you signed on because I have a character called Riku, but not on Syrunn. I wondered how he's ninja'ed himself onto here before I realised who you were. Hurr, I'm smart.
Anyway! I hope that you do come back, it's be great to have you. Syrunn is in the middle of a pretty big makeover at the moment, so we hope that you like the changes we're making. Bad Kamui for killing your old character though! Preferably that shouldn't happen again! We'll keep an eye on that Kamui, he's a tricky one.

Well, pretty much Chi covered it Riku. That's the big problem. Unfortunately, IE is not ideal for any programming language, or anything like this. Microsoft does a horrid job of integrating newer versions of HTML/CSS into their browser. I'd recommend on your new computer downloading a version of Firefox or Chrome. Either will work.
If not, add a version (even an older one should work) of Firefox or Chrome to your old computer. Both of those browsers will also be a lot more secure for your computer, because IE has terrible virus definitions and can't protect itself against a fly. If I were to recommend a browser for ease of the switch, I'd say go with Firefox. Chrome is more fancy, and not built like IE in the interface sense. Firefox initially to be a lot like IE, to help users switch. Since, IE has actually been modeled after Firefox (because Firefox became so incredibly popular, via multi-tabs, etc).
If that doesn't solve your problem, let me know. :3

It was, like, the characters were fighting, and I was probably overdoing it with Kuàixīng. Hadn't used her much at that point (or since, really), and I was a less experienced RPer back then.
I am a bad, bad man. Aha. But rest assured people of Syrunn, I don't plan on killing any other characters.
Ahhh, IE. Yeah, that'll do it.

IE does seem to be the prob, I can see your usernames and avvies now that I'm on Chrome. Hmm, I hate to have to move to a new browser, I'm so used to the way IE works, but I guess it's time to move on, especially with a new computer. --__-- I'm like a little old person when it comes to tech; every time a site updates and gets new settings it takes me forever to learn to use them and I fight it all the way.
Ah well. Thanks for the help.
