Update:
--A new forum background scroll has replaced the old one. This new design not only gives a more elegant look but a significantly faster load time and less image stress.
--A default avatar has been added for those without an uploaded avatar. This can be changed at any time via the user control panel. In the near future, a gallery of avatars may be added. The default avatar does not yet display in the memberlist and this will be looked into at a later time. It does, however, display on posts, your profile, and in the user control panel in the banner.
--The navigation buttons have been removed and replaced with a more streamlined version.
--Custom titles can now be given a color of your choice via the control panel >> profile section. More colors can/will easily be added in the future. Titles will also now display on the memberlist under the "rank" column. Selecting "none" will hide your title from the memberlist, though it will still display on posts and profiles.
--Home page has been properly set up once again, eliminating the need for redirect pages.
--The "Location" column in the memberlist has been removed. It can still be found in a user's profile page.
--The website column in the memberlist has been made slimmer and will simply display an icon instead of a full link. Hovering over the icon will reveal the link.
--Beige panels have been made lighter in order for text to better display.
--Numerous background borders have changed in order to lessen image loading and be less distracting.
--Numerous text colors have changed to be more pleasing to the eye.
--Removing multi-colored links has been delayed. This javascript effect impacts ALL forum links, so removing it caused quite a mess in the different types of links and their respective hover effects. I'll look into this again at a later time.
--Bulletin Board forum moved into News section.
--Tonberry's Lantern forum moved into Resources section.
--Town Square forum moved into General section.
--A bug currently exists in the Classifieds section. Sidebar links are all in white instead of the default green. I've looked extensively into this already but haven't found the cause. Due to the fact that the section is never used anyway, I won't likely be in a hurry to fix this.
--Identified a bug where a link to a deleted topic will lead you to an error message instead of the default forum message.
More tweaks will continue over time. But I figured it was best to get something a bit more stable and presentable up right now ^^;
