I'm just going to add this in here, since in the case this place will continue to grow larger later down the future.
(1) I don't know if the freeforums on general would support this feature, but maybe for each user right below the navigation bar there could be a bar for "Watching threads". I know that there is the notifications through one's profile and all, but I just want some sort of quick access to the threads user's themselves specifically have chosen to watch.
(2) A banner picture for the top of the page. The format of the name is great and all, but after seeing it for a while now it seems kind of bare to me. So even if it doesn't fit the entire headline for some people (since with different screen dimensions), I just sort of want to see one. 
(3) Different forum color themes or schema maybe? Not that the current one is bad, but tbh sometimes given my laptop screen it's hard to see some of the people's fonts unless the user does not customize their coloring posts. So just around one which hopefully make it easier to read a little I suppose.
Well that's it from me. Have a nice day~

Well that's it from me. Have a nice day~ There's a "Bookmark" button in the action tab and that's like a "favorite" button where you can watch stuff.
For the banner, that is possible! Maybe I'll hold a little contest? I'm not very creative so...... I never made one?
For the Theme, I just used a default one that represented Blow. I can put a background, but again, I'm not creative. If I were to change the theme, it will apply for everyone.... and IDK if everyone will like the same colors....?

Ohhh yes, that would be cool! I guess the image doesn't necessarily have to be edited screenshots or creations from the manhwa itself, meaning there could be fanart submissions too.
Well for theme, the users can choose between the two or later couple different options can't they? Since that for sure I know it's under edit profile > settings > forum theme with the drop down tab. I don't really mind what the colors or scheme is for the other, it really is just a matter of the "can't see posts" issue. Especially when I'm outside with my laptop in a place with heavy lights. So preferably lighter colors would be more nicer. |

So preferably lighter colors would be more nicer. Hmm, a day and night theme sounds awesome, but that would be hard to do I think? I can MAYBE make it automatic, but I don't know how well it will go with the forum (glitches?), maybe when I find a way to have a button where you can manually change it, then I'll put i on  For now I'll make the lettering white ^_^ |

Oh, so the newly made theme doesn't pop up as an option if you were to save it as a different name as an example per say? It's fine if you didn't have to change it now, could've done at a later point. But I think the title of the forum headings/titles should be different the white post text, so the dark before was fine. But the white is better, thanks!

SP will have his work cut out for him theme-wise. xD
A contest for a banner sounds cool. What would be the recommended dimensions?

I tested a few things out, and generally it should be like this I think. From the home page...
Admin > Themes > Theme Manager > "Create New/Import Theme" > Create a New Theme
Then enter in a name of the theme one wants, then click "Save and Continue". I fiddled around with the settings and it does allow a preview of how it would like like as you're changing the colors & adding things to it. And after you're done with it, it should appear as an option to people under that drag down thing. |
