Chat at Unknown Tales

Chat Room Open – And I’m Going to be in it ALL DAY!

Feedback on Reservation System Requested


Hey everyone, I’m looking for some feedback on the way the chapter reservation system works.

Chapter reservations are a way of preventing a new chapter being added to a path that you want to add to yourself.

Unknown Tales is Back


That’s right, as announced via our newsletter last night, Unknown Tales is back online.

Due to the nature of the changes made to the site, specifically that of the removal of the vBulletin forum, I’ve had to reset everyone’s password. What this means is that your current password for the site will not work.

But fear not, for fixing the problem is nothing but a click away. Simply hit the Forgot Password link, and follow the instructions. If you have any trouble with this, post a comment below, or reply to the newsletter email, and I’ll be happy to help.

Anyway, let me know what you think of the changes in the comments below, and keep your eyes on the blog for more details of what’s new!

What Happened to Unknown Tales?


If you’ve visited the site expecting to read some fantastic collaborative interactive fiction, then, for the moment at least, you’ll have to go away empty handed…

Unknown Tales is currently in the transitional period between being being a good site – and being a great site – but for this to happen, it needs to be taken offline for a little while.

Check back soon for more updates and information.
