I am new here, and don't know who those guys are.

welcome to the game. jorb and loftar are the developers, or "gods" of this game, and TotalyMoo is a Paradox staff, Salem GM, Community manager or whatever the title you want to call him with (or how he wants to be called...who knows).

I'm also pretty cuddly. Welcome to Salem Asharad.
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.

It should show you what forum it's in along the navigation bar. I don't use that feature as it leaves a big mess of things visually.

Those would be our two devs and GM respectively. :)

It does, but on a smart phone, I have to scroll over to the right to see it.

You make a good point for something else... I know many sites have long supported browsing on web capable phones with special versions of their sites, but it was only a small number of sites. With the advent of smartphones a few years ago, this was no longer strictly necessary. The problem is their smaller screens and need to constantly zoom in and out or scroll. I know phpBB (software the Salem forums runs on) does have special configurations available for smartphones, which should include better presentation of the data for a smaller screen such as on an iOS device or Android. It's worthy of its own thread and encourage those using a smartphone to browse the forums to follow up. ;)

Imho, having a server status panel and a panel with the links of the last 3 or 4 threads from the announcement section would be already enough.

I imagine it will end up like most other games and have server status available, if it's not on the front page, then through a link on the front page.
