EVE University Forum

The Ivy League Forum is located at http://www.eve-ivy.com/forums. All current members are required to register on the forum.

Registration

We now have an in game registration system you have to use that when signing up. To do so:

1. Open up the EVE In-Game Browser (IGB)
2. Go to this URL: http://www.eve-ivy.com/register.php

You will be asked to add that site to your trusted list. This is to check and see if your a member of Eve University or not and to get your character name here on the forums, which makes user handling a little easier. When registering like this, you will be put into the right user group right away and be able to see the hidden areas of the forum.

Once you have registered, you can log in to the forums using the name of the character you were logged in to Eve with as the username, and the password you typed in as password.

Reactivation - Inactivity

There's an activation script to allow inactive users to reactivate their account. This script also updates your corp information, so if you change corp, you should run this script to update the field under your name in posts that lists you corp, and it'll also update user groups so that your in the correct user group. The script can be found at http://www.eve-ivy.com/activate.php and can only be used with the in game browser.

DO NOT USE THE REACTIVATION LINK IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS ACTIVE.

Common Problems

Q: I get a black screen when I try to access the registration/activation page.

A: Try going to Options -> Trusted Sites on the in game browser and remove http://www.eve-ivy.com/ then try to register/activate again.

Now if anyone has any problems feel free to send Miraki, the E-Uni forum admin, an in game mail.

Posting to the calendar

There have been some confusion as to what timezone to use when posting to the calendar on the forums. On the old forums this was as simple as use EVE time everywhere since that calendar didn't convert times based on the users timezone settings. The calendar we're now using does convert. This means two things:

1. You have to make sure your timezone settings are correct. You can do this from the User Control Panel under Board preferences -> Edit global settings. To make sure it's correct just check the time at the top of the board index. It'll read "Current EVE Time: YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM (Your local time)"
2. You have to post calendar events with your local time for the event instead of EVE time. The calendar will convert the time to the local time of those viewing it, assuming they have the correct timezone settings aswell.

Thanks to an patch created for the calendar by Sable Blitzmann the calendar will now also display the EVE time for events created.
