We are very honoured to have updated to Cody's brand new RPG forum mods. Cody kindly built an AO calendar mod for us in the past, though very recently this has been updated and changed into the RPG Date and Calendar Mod supported by the RPG Age and School Year Calculator, so that the mods can be made available to other SMF boards, along with some improvements under the bonnet. (If you'd like further details, or know another rpg who would love to use these, PM Cody)

2 changes that will help all writers at AO are:

Profile Age is Relative to Timeline
Enter your character's date of birth in your forum profile, and the forum will now calculate their current age based on the present timeline. (Previously this was calculated based on the OOC date).

Age and School Year Calculator
The trusty calculator has made the jump into the forum with Cody's new mod, and can now be reached in the Rules & Info menu under Age & Year Calculator. Not only do you get a little calculator, this page will also give you a super quick run down of the years and dates of all 7 Hogwarts years, according to the current IC timeline.

We are incredibly lucky to have Cody's fine development skills at Absit Omen, and would like to reiterate our massive thanks for Cody's tireless work for these mods and also in leading the AO Wiki development over the past few years. All this and a super writer.

Let us know if you experience anything unusual when using the mods, or find any stray links to the old calculator we've missed. We're going through now.

It's like we finally got flying skateboards like in Back to the Future. This math has plagued me for centuries.  I love this.
