Welcome to the new forums

Milovana just underwent a bit of a general overhaul - the site is built around an open-source forum software called phpBB and we've now upgraded to the latest version phpBB 3.1.

That means that the forums look slightly different and probably a few things broke here and there. That said, the new interface is nicer in a few places and should make browsing the forums more pleasant.

Please keep in mind that this is a big update and there will be some bugs and glitches here and there. If you notice anything broken, please feel free to report it here or in the Tech Support forum.

That's all - enjoy! :-)

Just noticed these things off the bat...
  • When going below the default width for the site the styling goes all squared edges (rather than the round edges when viewing full size) as if it's designed to be adaptive. Obviously the site is forced to a wider width because of the theme so it looks odd.
  • Urge.info pages come up with a 404. mod_rewrite isn't rewriting correctly on that site. (I know this is a secondary concern, just letting you know).
  • The options in the "Account" drop down are essentially duplicated a line above the list. (Click on your username to go to the control panel and logout to logout)
  • Also may I suggest disabling the apache footer in the not found notification?
  • The board index link at the bottom of each forum page is cut off too.
  • The second level of the "menu(?)" bar at the top of the page isn't really necessary since the search box has it's own border and doesn't fit inside of it anyway.
  • The copyright notice still says 2013... maybe use a css styled thing with shadow and auto generated year?
Other than those I haven't found anything wrong so far. Good job on a project as complicated as this...

*giggles* ...and that wasn't meant to be patronising, I mean it, good job and thank you.

Also... possibly quite an obvious thing but worth mentioning... users can delete their own posts, not sure if this is something that you will want to disable or not...

Although you can only delete a post if it's the last reply... which doesn't make it so bad *giggles*

When viewing a user's profile, the link that allowed you to view/search that's person's teases is now gone. :-(

Thanks for all the extra time you've been putting in lately, Seraph0x!

Hey Lilly, great suggestions, thank you very much!

I've fixed the Urge issue. I'll look into the other ideas as soon as I get a chance.

Yeah the responsive design probably isnt finished yet though.
It'd also need max-width for signature graphics, and a working menu.
