Welcome to the USS Halo!
The USS Halo is a Star Trek Based Role Playing game. It is set at the end of the Dominion War in the year 2379 which is at the very end of the Dominion War. Set in the aftermath of the great war lies much work to do. Starfleet lies weakened all the more reason why now is the time for fresh crews on newly commissioned Starfleet vessels to get out there and do what they can to uncover the mysteries of the universe.

» Updating from Nova 1 to Nova 2
Posted on Sun Feb 5th, 2012 @ 8:52pm by Captain Mathew Sharp in Website Update
Ok this is going to be big people so far the next 24 hours or so the USS Halo will be down for maintenance.
We are doing a very large and complicated update of the progam.
this update will fix and add new features and abilities
Some of the changes are:
Private Messaging
Send private messages to another user, multiple users, or even forward your messages to other people.
Post Locking
Never have your changes overwritten with a smart post locking system that locks and unlocks multi-author posts during editing.
Multiple Characters
One user can have multiple characters tied to their account making it easy to post as and manage NPCs and other characters.
Search
Quickly and easily find mission posts, personal logs, news items, and wiki pages based on different criteria from the entries.
Comments
Enjoyed a post? Have a question about some news? Want to discuss a wiki page? Comments make it easy to interact with other users.
Seamless Substitution
Developers have access to easy and powerful tools to customize Nova without the risk of losing their changes when Nova is updated.
Uploads
Users can upload their character bio photos and admins can upload mission, tour, and award images right from inside Nova.
Integrated Mini-Wiki
A simple and stripped down wiki in Nova makes it easy to share information with players about anything you want.
Forms Without Borders
Take control of your forms with Nova's dynamic forms. Admins can change the bio/join form (and others) to be exactly what they want.
What's New in Nova 2
New file structure makes updating to newer versions a breeze
Personal logs and mission posts can be shown on the main page along with news items
New built-in rules page
New seaQuest DSV genre option (Nova 2.0 only)
Refreshed default look-and-feel
Site messages can now contain previously disallowed HTML tags so it's easier to add YouTube videos and other rich content to your site messages
New setup process will write the database config file for you at the start
Re-written upgrade process is faster and more intuitive
Updated tools for managing characters and users makes Nova smarter than ever
New character selection tool makes it easier to select and deselect characters when posting
Manifests can now have their own view options instead of all manifests using the same view options
Top open positions on the open positions view on the manifest
Pagination when viewing a user's mission posts and personal logs for faster loading and a better user experience
New character bio page reorganizes information and puts more information and control in plain view
Nested mission groups
New user interface for mission groups
Notifications in the Writing Control Panel when a post has comments in the last 30 days
Post locking for multi-author mission posts to prevent people overwriting each other's changes
Pagination on sent and received private messages
Users can now filter their sent and received private messages
Restrict access to wiki pages based on access role
Create new categories when adding or editing a wiki page
New user interface for viewing a wiki page
New user interface for managing wiki pages
System pages allow admins to take control of the content of core wiki pages
RSS feeds for both created and updated wiki pages
User interface tweaks to the deck listing to make it cleaner and easier to use
Bug fixes
So please be patient whilst we do this thanks.

Congratulations to Commander Uden & Lieutenant Kelly on winning the awards for Post of the month & Runner up.
You both worked very hard to get these awards so a big pat on the back is deserved for both of you.
Thank you to all the crew who submitted the votes. We will do the next round of voting at the end of the next mission.
So let's all try and work hard to post great posts and make a brilliant mission.
Thank you everybody for being a part of the USS Halo.
