hehe I see.. so my using a strong password was an issue... trust me to make things more complicated than they should be ;)

It was an accident :), we weren't trying to encourage weak passwords.

It should work now, did you try again ?

You don't actually need to enter a password for the forwarder as you don't login to our mail server.

Regarding Donor name colours...

It occurred to me that if Prydwen Net is used by players from Albion, Hibernia and Midgard, donors may wish to choose a colour for their name associated with the realm in which they predominantly play, i.e. red, green and blue, respectively.

The fact that Mods use red might pose a problem, however. So I'm wondering if Mods might change their colour to something neutral (e.g. Purple), then red could be added to the choice of colours for donors. Also, the green needs to be made less bright... it is too sickly as it is. I suggest a darker shade of green like the one in the example of my name below.

Also, another suggestion... perhaps donors' names could be in a different font also... as a designer, I would suggest something attractive, like Times New Roman Bold Italic, size 5, e.g. Gandelf

The colour for admins isn't exactly red (dd176b). FF0000 would be bright red. It is slightly in the direction of magenta :p (which is purple). Super-mods are already purple.

Also, I added the ability to switch the font to times new roman and italic.

Thanks :)

That's what I call service!
