New Wesnoth Forums changes for a new week

To begin this holidays week, I have introduced a few minor changes to the Wesnoth forums which should hopefully increase organization and ease of communication amongst us.

First, there’s now a separate Miscellaneous forum dedicated to those silly Forum Games, which is not indexed, doesn’t account for post counts, and doesn’t have an associated Atom feed unlike the rest of the board. Its topics are not listed in the Active topics view either.

Second, we now have new profile fields that can be optionally filled-in by users wanting to share with the community a bit more of information about themselves. These are the gender, languages and IRC nickname items. They are all displayed in the regular individual profile view, as well as in your User Control Panel, and may be modified visiting User Control Panel → Profile → Edit Profile.

(Wesnoth.org being an international community, it makes sense to allow people to tell us what languages they speak so we may be able to give them assistance in their natural language whenever applicable, or to help us choose new moderators.) 😉
