Sylum Update: Blogs & Things


Well I’m back!  Ish.

I’ve been working on a few behind the scenes updates.  There was a lot more behind the scenes updates that needed to be done, than I realized.

Wiki Blog:  After WordPress did their last update a few things broke!  The main problem was the tab function which is on every post, didn’t work anymore.  I waited a bit to see if the theme would get updated and it just hasn’t been, so we’ve uploaded a new theme.  The Wiki has a whole new look check it out!

Sylum Blog:  After WordPress did their last update a few things broke! (Hmmm I think there’s a running theme here) Well on the bright side most of the issues were fixed, mainly the read more cut.  The one thing that hasn’t been fixed is the inability to read comments that have been made.  You can make a comment, reply to a comment, but can’t see said comments.  At the moment I’m looking into updating the theme for the blog – it could use a fresh look.

Sylum Security Yahoo Group:  Oh what can I say about this … many many things.  We’ll start with Yahoo Sucks!  As of December 15th Yahoo Group will no longer exists – why they couldn’t just do this last year I do not know.  So yes, we had to find a new group.  Which hey we did!  Go us.

We made a new Sylum Security Group at Groups.io (fingers crossed this will stick along longer than a year).  The password at the moment isn’t changing, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t join the group.  As we’re going to be changing the password on a yearly bases for security reasons, so you still need to sign up.

New Group: https://groups.io/g/SylumSecurity

A few things about the new group:  It’s easier to use!  There are a few ways to sign in, you don’t have to have a yahoo or google account to do it.  It sends out automatic welcome and monthly reminders (I may have teared up a bit with this one).  And well if at some point we decided to have a ‘discussion board/email’ type thing again – it’s set up for it.

Sylum Archive: For once with all the updates, continued to work in pristine condition *eyes it – this doesn’t mean you can screw up now!* So that one is staying the same 🙂

 

 

Update: So the Move

So the move isn’t going as planned.

Due to a mishap of delivery of furniture – it got pushed back until end of September instead of when it should’ve been end of August.  So at this moment we’re just now settling in, the shop will be open later than expected.

Sylum Update: Variety of Randomness

More Updates

We’re not even going to discuss the move – lets just say it’s not going as well as expected.

Now to the updates:

  • The Read More is still not working in emails.  It’s a hassle at the moment, and hoping at some point an update will fix it.  If there is anything that sensitive – I’ll make sure to leave space so it’s not seen right off the top in an email.
  • The updates also broke the tabs and skin on the Sylum Wiki.  At this moment none of the tabs are showing for any page or bio.  You can still read the bio, and click on links but it’s one long piece of information instead of nice and neat like I had it – *grumbles at WordPress*.
  • Covid.  Sooner or later I was going to have to answer this unasked question.  Is Sylum going to deal with Covid?  No, we’re not having Covid in Sylum.  There are few events that you don’t want in the fiction you write/read to escape reality … this is one of them.  Plus it screws with my timeline – it already f*ked enough with my professional and personal life – I’m refusing to adjust my timeline.

Graphic Gecko – Call out!

WARNING: Naked Ass in POST

Since the read more cut doesn’t work on emails – ye have been warned.  So if innocent eyes see this at the dinner table – I am not responsible for you explaining Fassbender’s Naked Ass!

Why is Fassbender’s Naked Ass being displayed?

First – Why not?

Second – It’s 2020

Third – we’re back to the first point 🙂

But actually yes we do have a reason for the naked ass, which is being showcased not on Naked Thursday ( you have to be old school Sylum to get that joke … for those of you who did thanks for holding out this long)

Okay so the actual reason, I’m working on a video of faboolous nakedness or suggestion of nakedness – body paint, really tight pants, gorgeous dress etc for all Sylum Actors/Actresses.

It’s 2020 – the year needs to end on beauty!

What I need from all of you is suggestions of movies/TV shows/Interviews etc … so we can get a variety of Sylum Characters.  Please respond with name of actor/actress and the movie/show that has naked or near nakedness.  We’re not looking for porn, just those nice beautiful, sexy, sensual shots.

Example:  Meela in the body paint in the Mummy; the original Mystique; Dean in his underwear, Fassenber’s naked ass.

Dear Mischief Maker – you know where this going.  😀

Oh and now for the Naked Ass – you’ve had plenty of warning!

Blog Glitches


Pops up quickly.  WordPress updated – which always breaks something.   Lately I’ve noticed that the ‘read more’ line is disappearing in the emails that are sent out.   This isn’t too much of an issue if it’s a Sylum Snippet or Afternoon Fic – you just get the story in your inbox (please do make sure to stop by the blog to leave comments).

But for something like Sylum Trivia or Top Ten List – you’ll need to stop by the blog to view the post to click on the contact form to fill out the answers.

In time an update will pop up for themes, plug ins etc and it will be fixed.  But until then … we’ll just have to work around it *sigh*.

Blog Updates

There’s been some updates to the blog.

Two categories have been added to drop down menu Sylum Stories: Snippets & Teasers – these are all the snippets and teasers that have been posted on the blog.

Reminder – you can find the link to the old Old Archive in the drop down menu: Sylum Information/Sylum Archive.

Spring Fling & Seven Days of Summer 2020 have been added to drop down menu: Sylum Events.

If you ever have a question of where something is located or just a question in general – you can click on Sylum Q&A on the main slider header or under the drop down menu: Sylum Information.

 

The General is Moving!

So yes we’re moving.

The next two months will be hectic and chaotic.

Posts have been prepped way in advance, hopefully nothing will go off the rails *crosses fingers*.  If need to get a hold of me – email: sylumclan@yahoo.com … but note it could take time for me to get back to you.

There will be times I’m not able to access the blog or site.  So be patient if something does happen, I’ll work to get things fixed as quickly as possible.

At the moment – Sylum Vault is closed and we’ll make announcement when it reopens, likely in October.

Most importantly the bunnies have been packed and organized, hopefully they won’t get lost on the way to their new den.

Wish us luck and see you on the flip side.

Sylum Stories & Where They Are Located

I’ve been asked questions, and seen searches on the Archive and Wiki pertaining to a few Sylum stories.  I figured best to put a heads up where somethings are located.

All stories that have been edited to fit Sylum Canon is located in the Sylum Archive.

There are still stories on the Old Archive.  For example: Family and Evolution.   Plus some that haven’t been transferred and those that are considered non-canon.

Race Through Dark Places – has been removed and being edited at the moment.

If anyone has questions about certain stories you can always email me at sylumclan@yahoo.com or leave a message on this thread: Q&A Center

All these links can be found in the menu on the front page.
