 Today, we have a bunch of small updates. First off, this week includes all of the forum's updates, which includes new Status icons (Lilith from Tales of Destiny), a new "spinner" for February (Colette from Tales of Symphonia), and a new Game (Collapse!). As an FYI, next week will only be a new arcade game.The transition from the current CMS to the new CMS is going along smoothly. Most of the backend issues have been worked out, so hopefully it won't be too long before site updates start becoming more frequent. 
You might notice that most of the news articles are gone today. XDI moved all of December 2006's news articles to a sub forum. And in February, all of these news articles will be moved to one for January 2007, and so on. Also, our new forum game for the week is the arcade classic Donkey Kong, so go to the Games section and try to get the high score! (The new General/Forum/etc. icon's borders are off in retrospect to the layout, which I didn't notice till I uploaded them. I will fix that later on in the day.)
This is something we used to do often, we'd have a giant chat with all of the member from SH and do stupid stuff, usually plan to take over Europe but be too lazy to actually do it.Let's see if we can start another one up. My MSN info is in my profile. Just give me a message if you'd like to start one.
 Symphonic Heaven now has its own domain name, www.symphonicheaven.com. Sub domains for the Forum, Gallery, Topsite, Oekaki, and Wiki are also usable (the links can be found on the main page at the moment --- they will be changed on the other sections in the next week or so).If you happen to link to our site via affiliation, or just in your forum signature, please update your link to the new domain name. Many thanks! ^.^
The staff at Symphonic Heaven has been hard at work working on the forum, upgrading the skin (more on that later), adding some new features (such as the Games section), as well as general fixes.At first glance, the forum skin shouldn't look all that different, at least font-wise. But if you go to the bottom and click the Quick Links drop-down menu, you will see a new option called "v4 - Segoe UI". As some of you know, this is the font Windows Vista uses, and IMO, makes the forum easier to see, due to the clearer font. If you do not have the font installed, we have it available via our Downloads section, for free. The Verdana skin is the same one we always have had, and is still the default, btw. The skin has become more Tales-ish, with Tales of Phantasia icons along the top, and in other places. These are from the sprites I ripped earlier (which will be going into the section on the site). As for the banner, it is still the same one, due to that being our only banner (plus it is the "advertising" one used in signatures if people wish to use it). New BBCode options have also been added. The User, Acronym, YouTube, and Google Video buttons have been added. One thing though --- on the User tag, you need to put the name like =*namehere*, ala how a link is done. As of right now, I cannot get it to work like that, but I will try to find a way to do it. The same logic follows for the Acronym tag, which needs the full term name in the =*fulltermhere* area. The video codes are unaffected by this (remember to only pull the number, not the v=/docid=). Now, to the new stuff. You should notice the following...
The times they are changed are listed above. These will always take place on a Friday, unless something occurs, in which case it will be Thursday (or the nearest day before / after in case that is taken up as well). So February 3rd will be when the Status icons are changed, and will also mark the third forum game added (this week's game is 1Balloon). The only deviation to this is the Spinner, which is always on the 1st of every month. Don't worry if you didn't follow all of that perfectly --- new additions will be announced when they are added. I will be away this weekend, so please forward any immediate issues to DBAM or KeiKusanagi. I will also be working on the site for the rest of the month (in between doing college assignments), so I may periodically be away from the forum at times during this month.
Source: C3 NewsAnyone remember the short clip of Sword of Legendia from Nintendo of Japan's Wii promotional video on their official site? Apparently, a rumor has been spreading from Japan on the 2ch forums that Sword of Legendia is related to the "Tales of" series, and is the first in a "Sword of" series. This was included in a list of other rumors, including games such as Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, and various other high-profile series. Could this be part of the "reenvisioning" of the series hinted at before? If we find any backed-up evidence of this (via Tales Channel, Famitsu, etc.), we will let you know.
The Gamespy server will be down for maintenance next Tuesday (1/9/07). This will affect all of the hosted sites, including Symphonic Heaven. The main site, as well as the sub-sites (Forum, Gallery, etc.) will be down as well.This should last only a few minutes, but it could last longer depending on if something goes wrong. The downtime should be limited to less than half-a-day, at the most.
