What's new
- Details
The MUD1/British Legends Web site has been updated to use the latest version of the Joomla! content management software.
Expect glitches.
However, the good news is that as part of this update, I now installed a new feature: it is now possible to play in your browser, with no third-party software installation required. The feature is still experimental so it may not always work as expected but it seems to be reasonably robust.

I completed the long-planned transition of the MUD1/British Legends site to the Joomla content management system (CMS). Using a CMS will make it easier in the future to maintain the site.
I also completed a simple "homebrew" forum software package. For a long time now, I wanted to replace the Microsoft Frontpage component that we have been using with something better, but the readily available alternatives were either not sufficiently flexible or a vast overkill with rich functionality that we just do not need. So I chose to develop something on my own.

Strange the former wizard from CompuServe, who recently returned to the game (known as Stranger or Riflefire), has started an "unofficial fan club", a MUD mailing list on Yahoo! Groups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BritishLegends. Please note that this discussion group is not officially associated with british-legends.com; it is operated independently by an enthusiastic player. That said, thank you Strange for the effort!
