What's up guys, it's me, dycaite, back with another exciting notice board post! First off, I just wanna give a special thanks to [[User:Kobochat|kobo]] for filling in for me on the previous notice board; it was a big one too, so massive props for doing that dude! Without any further ado, let's see what's new:
What's up guys, it's me, dycaite, and you'll no doubt have noticed that some BIG changes have been taking place around the wiki of late! To that end, we feel like enough has changed to warrant classifying this as the site's third revision and it brings many improvements and user-wanted features with it, including:


* The English dub of [[Clock Man aka "O Parádivé Sally" (found Czech animated short; 1976)|''Sally'' (aka "Clock Man")]] has been found! Big thanks to LMW contributor [http://forums.lostmediawiki.com/user/356 TOMYSSHADOW] and Skip Elsheimer from [http://www.avgeeks.com/wp2/ A/V Geeks] (the former having contacted the latter see if they had a copy, which they did indeed) for unearthing this rarity! You can see the English dub of ''Sally'' via the above embed, [https://www.ulozto.net/!87fz3UBWugL9/sally-mp4 download it in standard definition here], or [https://mega.nz/#!4oZ11RCZ!R07n6f2HnX_5apdp-wpiD0C8YBqXElX4TwyLbJlJ480 in high definition here] (but be warned, it packs a punch at 11.5GB; [https://tinyurl.com/y75fgfwd torrent also available here], as well as a [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mjuZ6nMRTXCZ_RmScosOMzP5SyzP1nrP/view streamable Google Drive link here]). With that, the Clock Man search has officially come full circle; we really couldn't have asked for a better conclusion to all our hard work! Props once again to everybody involved in the search, it was a mammoth effort, but we got there in the end :D
* A brand new skin, customised from the ground up specifically for the LMW
* A much more responsive mobile layout
* Improved video embed code
* Improved comments extension (you can edit and delete your own comments now!)
* Many smaller and behind-the-scenes errors fixed
* All new 'Featured' section
* More!


* A familiar face returns to the Lost Media Chronicles with a new episode! In this instalment, Trey covers the topic of the highly sought-after [[Thomas and the Magic Railroad (partially found deleted scenes of movie; 2000)|lost content from ''Thomas and the Magic Railroad'']]; check it out via the above embed (and while you're there, give Randy and his team a thumbs up and a subscribe if you haven't already, they work hard on these videos)!
There are still tweaks to be done and fixes to be made to certain things, but the skin and upgrades are developed far enough along that we are comfortable releasing them to the wild :D


* The [[Reading Rainbow - Johnny Kemp theme (found opening sequence for PBS children's TV series; 1999)|Johnny Kemp ''Reading Rainbow'' theme]] has been found! The video, found just under a week ago by YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTNMLQwV45bdRDvcUlXDK9g Drew Trachier] can be seen above, albeit in low, handheld quality; still, it's much better than nothing! Thanks Drew! Here's hoping a higher quality version surfaces at some point.
There are two people that, without whom this wouldn't have been possible, and those people are Anton (the highly talented MediaWiki pro on Upwork who put everything together for me and who has been more than helpful with ideas and in getting the wiki up to the standard I envisioned for this new iteration) and Commander Santa (whose hugely generous $1,000 donation following the uncovering of [[Clock Man aka "O Parádivé Sally" (found Czech animated short; 1976)|Clock Man]] was used and will continue to be used to finance these upgrades), I can't thank you two enough, I am absolutely blown away by the results and I think most users would agree that its a vast improvement over the old version.


That's it for today, a nice little one to tide you all over until next time ;)
Special thanks to [[User:Reynard|Reynard]] for the new logos!


'Til then, cyas!
That's it for now, if you come across any bugs or anomalies with the new skin/upgrades (like I said, it ''does'' still require a small amount of work) please let either myself or another staff member know; thanks guys, catch ya's next time!
