Popular Post Optic Posted January 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hello everyone, For the start of 2016 I have been working on a revamp for Anime Forums. These are the major changes that will occur: New Gallery module to replaced the existing one. Fanworks will be decommissioned, and moved to the new Gallery module - thus removing its reliance on the same module that is powering the Anime Landing Pages. New Badge achievement system New theme framework. Clubs will be decommissioned. All club forum threads will be moved to their relevant forums. (more below) To action these changes the forum will be closed for up to a day to action these changes, within the next few days. Regarding Clubs removal We implemented Clubs back in June, 2015 with the intention of adding some fun to the forums by allowing members to create special interest groups. Members could then redirect some of the chit chat to their Clubs. Unfortunately, this feature wasn't overly popular and part of the reason was the module responsible for the Clubs was not a great user experience. Navigating the different walls and fine-tuning the logo and covers was clunky at best. To that end I've decided to remove the Clubs feature. Clubs will be revisited at some point in the future as new options become available and as our community grows. 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaBD Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Very informative and thank you for your constant hard work. One thing I have noticed is all of you guys are always trying to make the forums better. I appreciate it as a regular member. I also agree with the direction. The clubs do look dead and condensing with a new gallery sounds awesome. I also look forward to the new badge system. What does the theme framework mean? Does that mean the forum skin or?

drill Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 What does the theme framework mean? Does that mean the forum skin or? Well, yes and no. We do have a few more themes to add in the new update, but the new framework consists more of how the site is structured in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
