Customization
Open Administration → Customization.
- Dynasty Icon: maximum 2 MB.
- Dynasty Banner: maximum 2 MB, 1920×250 recommended.
- Dynasty Footer: maximum 2 MB, 1920×250 recommended.
- Homepage Graphics 1–4: four additional optional uploads, maximum 2 MB each, using the same supported image formats as the original uploads. These appear in slot order below the homepage game/poll area. Empty slots are omitted; unavailable images show a fallback. Use the delete control to clear a slot. Existing icon/banner/footer images are unchanged.
Only administrators with Edit Dynasty permission can change these images.
Use PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP, no larger than 4096 × 4096 pixels. Upload one at a time, wait for completion, and verify mobile/desktop.
Reset Dynasty Teams & Games
Only the service owner can perform this reset. Open Administration → Settings →
Reset → Dynasty Teams & Games and type RESET <abbreviation> exactly.
This permanently deletes every team and game across all seasons, including any saved game votes, team player statistics, and poll entries. Members remain but lose their team assignments. Conferences, news, rules, and other settings remain. Saved playoff and award records remain but lose deleted team references. The current calendar year stays unchanged and the week returns to Week 0. Check it under Administration → Games before rebuilding.
There is no undo and no separate news-reset control in the current Settings menu. Use Start next season in Games when advancing a season while preserving history.
Transfer
- Install the bot in the destination Discord server.
- Use a Discord account that administers it.
- Sign in as the dynasty owner and open Administration → Settings → Transfer Discord Server.
- Choose the exact destination.
- Confirm.
- Recheck Discord Settings and game-space permissions.
Common mistakes
- Resetting to fix one game instead of editing it.
- Transferring before the bot is installed.
- Changing abbreviation without updating bookmarks.
- Uploading an oversized banner.
- Expecting CFB data to re-import after reset; it must be recreated manually.
Dynasty Discord notifications
In Administration → Discord, choose and save channels for week/season advances, current-week game results, published Top 25 rankings, and shared news. Leaving a channel empty disables that notification. Use Test saved channel to check bot access. The bot must be able to view the channel, send messages, and embed links.
Changing the current year/week announces the new period. New and corrected scores post for the dynasty’s current year and week, including CSV and screenshot saves; unchanged scores and historical results do not post. Publishing the Top 25 posts its rankings; published news is shared using its Share to Discord action. These updates do not ping members or roles. Existing calendar reminders remain available separately. Transferring the dynasty clears these channel settings; select channels from the new server before enabling notifications again.
