Hi Everyone,

As promised, we will be updating our Forum look soon! I've contacted a friend, who referred me to a friend, who referred me to a friend, who will be helping with the Forum update! It's going to be the skins for now, but down the line as things pick up even more, I think we can fully customize it.

- We also are streamlining our order process, so if anything has been lagging I apologize, but it will be fixed! I'm currently training someone to help me with all the orders and getting them out in a timely process.

- I've also reached out to some really helpful people, so I should have graphic design help soon for fun Usagi stuff! Stan (like always) has been hard at work and has some really cool projects that you'll find out about down the line! These guys have also been helpful in giving me suggestions and assistance in getting Usagi a bigger audience!

- In alignment with your product requests, I know one of them has just been answered! Can't say which yet, but that will be announced. As for the rest, I'm still trying to work with some guys to get those out there. Having graphic design help should shoot that forward.

Thanks for your continued patience and support!

Daniel

Okay, even after all these years I'm still obsessed with my post count.

So can I keep all my posts in the New World Order? :D

We made the move to phpBB3 from phpBB2 a while back, and managed to get the forum database imported correctly, which is why everyone still had their join date and post count for example. This is just going to be a redesign and reskin, I'm guessing we're still on the same forum software (although it may need a small update on the server) and not switching to vBulletin or Invision for example.

Hey Everyone,

Yes, it is supposed to be a skin update so everything shall remain intact. I'm checking just to make sure. I've been told it should be completed by the end of the week!

Thanks,

Daniel

This is pretty rad! But why are the fonts so huge now? :o

Yes, I like the new look, but I was just about to post as well that the default fonts are huge now, and could do with a bit of a reduction!

Here's the look of the main forum list for me currently...

If I zoom out twice in Firefox, then it goes to a size that is more reasonable, but obviously everything else (like the banner up the top) reduces far too small in the process.

Likewise here's the default look at a typical post...

I have to zoom out three times in Firefox to bring it down to something reasonable...

Interesting new look. Was expecting more Usagi related graphics being added.

Also interesting that there appears to no longer be an administrator log in link.

Like the new look! A nice combination of the old look and the look of the main UY website.

Text size on mobile phone looks great. I have to still resize it, but I no longer have to swipe around to read posts! Excellent update! Thank you! Peace, maka
