Alright, apparently there is a major problem going around with forum motion servers. As a result, we are going to need to sit tight and endure through it. However, there are some methods you can use in order to possibly bypass this. I'm not quite sure what is going on myself, as I haven't had a single issue with the forum in the past few days, but if you are having conflicts getting on the site, please try these techniques out.

1) Clear your browser cache and delete cookies.
2) Close your browser.
3) Restart your modem / box / ADSL box.
4) Open the "Start" menu on your computer, write "cmd" in the search and open the proposed application (! Open the application as administrator on Vista!), Type "ipconfig / displaydns", validate, then type "ipconfig / flushdns" and press well.
5) Try to reconnect to the forums.
6) If it does not work, change the DNS of your connection (How to do).
You can also restart your computer once and download this: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Power Tier & Rule Changes

Alright, if you haven't noticed by now, we are making slow, but steady updates to the site. Yesterday, the power tier & rules were revamped a bit and we are hoping everyone has had a chance to view them. The links to them will be seen below this post, but expect more revisions to the rules within the month as we try to better the site. That's all for now.

Making Use of The Blog More

Alright, from this point onward, we'll start making more post in regards to Platinum Hearts and getting some decent usage out of this blog. As a result, I'll give ya' a lo down on what's happening.

1. We have officially merged moderators + janitors into one group as of August 4th, 2012. In the coming weeks, we'll choose a Head Moderator and have an mentorship for those interested in becoming future moderators or App Checkers. We'll have more details on that in the coming weeks.

2. OTM's + Activity Check of 2012 are all over. Images + Prizes will be distributed over the next few days. Images should be ready sometime within the week; where it's up to members themselves to collect their prizes on this link: http://www.platinumhearts.net/t6943-otm-collections-if-you-won-an-otm-from-april-through-june-come-here-to-collect-it

3. There may be a possible event in Aug. We'll release more details once it's been green-lit or given more room to grow.

For now, that's it. We'll update you on any other interesting news on the site as it comes from now on.

New Post Layout

After a night of hard working, Platinum Hearts now has a new layout. If you haven't seen the site, I suggest you do. Since our one year mark of creation is coming up, I thought it would be pretty sweet to get a new layout going. Hopefully everyone likes it!

Site Loading Issues Fixed & Monthly Contest

Alright, yesterday we were having rolling blackouts on the site where it would stay down for a few minutes then come back up, slow loading times or things would not load at all. It seems today I may have fixed the problem for now and you can go back to business as usual. Of The Month threads are also up.

Experiencing Slow Load Times

I'm not sure what's going on with the site, but throughout the day it seems some people have been having problems loading up the site. I'll try to get around to fixing it tonight, but don't be frightened if the site doesn't load, just experiencing technical difficulties. Hopefully everything should be resolved in the next day.
