Just make its background transparent, that's all.

Especially not according to this. And [mention=1]Cedric[/mention], that would be nice for you to do but you have two options... either you PM me the code or I PM you the link to the test board, so that you can sign up and from then I can make you an Assistant (so that you can add it in yourself via the Admin CP).

Forums are not as popular as they once were.
Really? Well, that's news to me... I just thought it was some tacky website where emo bands try to make it big there... oh, and Tom being your first ever friend also. Who can forget Tom, eh? :P

Suppose [mention=36]BRANSOL[/mention] can provide a transparent version of it? Yeah, that could solve it but no way can the "minds" part can interact with the feature though... not unless I can change the colours myself for separate versions of it...

What's the best way to promote a new feature or update?
I also have a pinned thread for minor updates, but the more major ones have a thread of their own. I would also send out a bulk mail for anything really big, such as a new skin or perhaps when the forum gets a domain name of its own...

Perfect! (y) That's all I can say 😁

Mastodon says hi.

Staff to Member Ratio: What's yours?
I have three staff members in amongst a community of 65 members. That's okay, isn't it?

This looks good also [mention=49]3SS[/mention], but it looks out-of-place with the theme it's used with (because the background is a different shade of blue compared to what's on the test board). For now, I will accept [mention=36]BRANSOL[/mention]'s version.

Is Discord a good way to grow your forum community?
So it's a double-edged sword then... well, okay.

When is it appropriate to send a mass email to your members?
Different if he was to say "I'M GONNA TELL MY MOMMY ON YOU, SPAMMER!" :P
-
What features do forums lack?
It will happen, right? 😐 Jcink can't be behind the times any longer without it... :P

Is Discord a good way to grow your forum community?
I'll tell you something... if I wasn't stupid enough to set up a Discord server even as a replacement for Jcink's faulty shoutbox, it would've been still standing. However though, one forum I know is still going well despite having a Discord (where people just have silly banter amongst each other there).

Och away... besides, he doesn't know where you live and that... If I had somebody say the same kind of crap to me, I'll just laugh it off.
-
What features do forums lack?
You know, I actually had a feeling that it doesn't do that... if I was patient enough to add it in, I wouldn't mind that anyway. Guess I can try poking John about it to make it official for Jcink, and I wouldn't be the first to do so...

Indoor and Outdoor Activities
My main outdoor activity is go out and do some photography... but won't be doing that as much now given that I've done it for over 15 years and well, I would have to refrain from walking too much as part of it (as I'm getting sporadic pains around my ankles and heels now).
-
What would you do differently when starting your community up again?
Virtually everyone had to start their communities from scratch following the Zetaboards-Tapatalk fiasco years ago... even I was caught up in it after creating a forum (The Lightweb) months before that announcement from the backstabber that was Brandon. However, I took a different approach and made a new community instead, which is what I have now.
-

He has done so already, but you need to create a new forum category to store its data...
-
Is Discord a good way to grow your forum community?
I completely agree with this... as someone who lost activity on my forum from its Discord counterpart (and towards its eventual closure, on top of other reasons at the time). If any of my members ever requests this, I will give a firm "no".

How much longer can Facebook stay relevant?
Telegram is only good for Putin sympathisers and general cyber criminals but... I wouldn't even touch it with an iron pole for those reasons.
-
What features do forums lack?
I wish Jcink had a Likes system... just saying. Also, ProBoards has no feature where you can back up your database should anything happen (ZetaBoards lacked this as well, and made worse regarding the Tapatalk crisis years ago...).

Only 39 days until Christmas
Calm down [mention=1]Cedric[/mention], it's only October :P

Facebook is still relevant? Say it ain't so! 😬 Besides, I thought it would've vanished to thin air over the Cambridge Analytica scandal years ago...
