Update from the 2012 WWBN Election Newsroom...
Polls closed just minutes ago but with the expertise of the finest countermonkey's have projected a landslide win for former WWBN Mad Mad World Host Dunena Reid.
Exit poll results give a strong 80% majority result for the newcomer with some even choosing to vote for exotic animals then give a vote to Frump in what has to be his worst result ever.
You heard it here first, Dunena Reid is the new American Minister for Magic!

Your Links Not Working? Your Signature Not Showing? Lost.. Confused? Don't panic!
We have our own Tech Support!
No we won't fix your computer (well okay ask M nicely and sometimes she will) but it should point you in the right track to help you get comfy with the phpBB forum software Wizards Without Boundaries runs on.
It's got a few 'quirks' that the following should help you bash out.
1. WTF Why isn't my Signature Working? Why am I getting stupid emails!? AHH what's going on!?!
If your signature isn't working or you don't want to receive emails each time someone posts a reply:
You Need to click on Profile > Preferences
There should be a scary array of checkboxes which unfortunately have to be set up manually at first.
In these you can fix the following:
Always notify me of replies : set to NO!
Always attach my signature : set to YES!
Always attach my signature : set to YES!
Wait.. they're still not there Help!
Okay.. sometimes signatures won't appear on posts you've already made by default.
Lucky all you have to do is:
click Edit (Top Right Corner of a Post)
Click on the little on Options and tick the checkbox to Attach Signatures.
Click send and wola! Fixed!
2. I can't find the New Topic and Post Buttons!
New Topic is at the Bottom left of a forum. The Post Button is called Send
3. How do I fill in my Character's Profile?
Click on Profile Fill it all the basic information (we highly recommend word/writer/using gmail or a text editor so that you won't lose your work if something goes wrong!)
For additional information such as pets, characters email addresses etc. that is optional you don't need to fill in. But you can if you want!
3. Help! My Links in Posts Aren't Working!
Ah.. this will take a bit of getting used to if your from Proboards.
Links here are written without ".." marks. eg: [url=www.linkygoodness.com]
4. I did a Oopsie on a Post!
Don't fret.. see those little icons in the Top Left of your post. there should be one like ! which will report the post to staff. Fill in the reason and we'll get right onto fixing it up for you.
5. New Awesome Fancy Features!
All In One Approval/Registration:
In the old days newbies had to fill out a full application, then apply for a face claim, then apply for a power, register a animagus, and your pets and then would be able to go play on the board.
Not any more!
Here you can apply for your powers/Animagus and most other common things straight from the get go. You can even fill in extra optional information like your character's Email, Owl and other custom details.
You will notice a series of APPROVAL fields. Staff will fill these in as they approve each part of your profile, confirm and date them so that we have a record as well of what has/hasn't been approved.
Then when all is good you will get the BIG GREEN CHARACTER APPROVED! Your application will be moved to Approved Characters and Staff will assign you your Visa's. Congratulations, you're all good to play!
FAQ
Another really useful button is the FAQ that will let you know more in depth stuff about how to do stuff. No comics there I'm afraid.
Easy Edit Wipe-on/Wipe-off Profiles!
Filling in your profile has never been easier! Forget the days of going through a bunch of menus. Instead just put your mouse over the field you want updated you should see a little icon.
Forget Photobucket! Check out the Gallery
we DO have our very own Image Galley! where you can find WWB related images - including site art, graphics samples and photos of locations on the board. All members are welcome to host their own images to WWB as long as it meets the general graphics rules
You can also host your image directly as you post using the Host a Image Button (next to the table button) to make life even easier!
WWBN World News!
Got something that you want the whole world to know!? Big Ministry Hotshot been fired? House burnt down? Kittens running amok in London?? Nessie sighting in Loch Ness?? Don't just stand there report it to the 5 o'clock News! and make it a real sensation!
Keep your Character's stuff all together and dig deeper then ever before!
Ever wished you had a place to keep track of everything you've written for a character, or have some stuff that doesn't really fit into their profile? Ever wished you could find a central place to find out everything about someone elses character?
Now you can!
Each Character after approval is encouraged to post a Passport with their name here you can keep anything you have about them - Links to their threads, bits of information, tekas you've made and whatever else takes your fancy as long as it keeps to the graphics and site rules.
