Glad you're working in your own subdirectory--looks like you opened a gate to the upside-down. Feeling safe in our happy Inn . . . not worried at all about your experimentations. :bites-lip:

I'm not even doing that in the subdirectory—that's on my own system. I wanted to see what changing a couple of colors did for a dark theme. I've tweaked them a bit since I made that but … I don't think I like it as it is yet. Still tweaking it, but I'm still sick (as in some virus thingy—probably not THE virus) so progress is kind of slow.

Also got in touch with Ron Shirtz. We'll be making some changes regarding that I think.

So stuff is moving, slowly.

Just noticed something that requires an update too.
in the User Control Panel > Profile > Edit Profile there are folds with socials or IM programs no more in use since years:

ICQ number:
AOL Instant Messenger:
WL/MSN Messenger:
Yahoo Messenger:
Jabber address:

Maybe better to update them with modern socials like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter or giving the user the chance to edit the social name so we could type in whatever whatever social we want (TikTok, Twitch...).
As for the logo, i think is very important... what about asking a professional to draw one for the Inn?

I also hope when the structure of the site/forum will be updated all the linked posts will not get lost (returning a 404 error message).

Good ideas. Ah yes I remember the days of ICQ. I hated the others, but Trillian was cool for awhile.

Anything more modern should give you 4-5 pairs of things you can fill in. Use Twitter? Twitter, @you. Use Reddit? Reddit u/you… You choose the things that make sense to you. This is how it's generally done in Mastodon user profiles, though what that's for isn't well explained.

Ideally you don't want to lock yourself or other users into any given technology. Time may come that Facebook and Twitter and Reddit and whatever else people are using ceases to exist or at least ceases to be relevant to anyone.

I'm just curious if there are any updates in 2022. I see you implemented a whole plan of changes and improvements in the technical part of the website. Did you hire [/url] to increase the overall visibility? Off-page and on-page should go hand in hand, otherwise, you tend to have a brand new website, but completely unknown. In addition, once you have started on-page SEO, the website's ranking might suffer. Be attentive to DR, DA, and traffic and take the necessary actions to stop the decrease.
