User blog:Jay Sea/Sorting Issues

Unfortunately, Wikia seems to be malfunctioning somehow, and that has messed up some of the coding on the sorting pages. At this time the convenient boxes that automatically create your sorting forum are not working, so in the meantime, if you wish to make a new sorting forum, please follow the below directions:

For Student Forums

 * Go to the top right corner of the wiki. You should see this (you will need to click on the "contribute" to get the drop down menu.)Sssssss.png
 * Click on "Add a Page"
 * Then this box will pop up:
 * Make sure to choose "Blank Page" for page layout.
 * Name your page Forum: Character Name, then hit add a page.
 * Copy the following text onto the page:
