Hello guys,

after a reasonable amount of work, it should be done.

it can be accessed here: http://forum.median-xl.com/

there are probably some bugs so I'm leaving this topic as a global announcement so you guys can report here.

See you there :)

Both the home and forums buttons lead to the home page while it should be the home button only. Great work to whoever participated in this, it really does look good, I like it :)
Edit: nvm, not a bug. although having to click the little board index link to go back to board index is annoying. But it's more because I got way too used to click the forums button to do so I guess.

funny thing, since i'm coding inside phpbb files, the forum cannot be updated with phpBB nor can extensions (3rd party code) be implemented, so I have to do all the coding myself... happily web coding is easy (shoutbox was a bit tricky to make but still)

true, but it's not worth parsing that out

I think it's worth re-iterating what whist said. This becomes an issue on Mobile, where only the stuff in the middle loads (shoutbox, latest posts, screenshots). It's unclear how to get to the forum index, especially since it's not shown.

The only way to get to the forum index is to click the "Home < Board index" link. Which funnily enough, still says "Home < Board index", but takes you to a different page (adds index.php to the url).

I think it would be more clear if the default page loaded just said "Home" and clicking the forums button took you to "Home < Board Index". And clicking home button basically does what it does now (loads the non-index.php URL).
