Not if you have Milanfan.com/forums as your homepage or in your favourites map.

I think it would be cool for future members to see. But thats just me talking

No, thanks.

People like fast/quick access to the news and the site. An intro would be waste of time, and boring ever time you click: milanfan.com

But, that's only my opinion.

Thanks for all the input so far guys!

Regarding the use of flash - in principle the idea seems really good, but I know a lot of people really dislike it, and many claim it slows their pc down etc. However, as said previously in this thread, there will hopefully be 2 versions of the new site which should cater for everyones needs/preferences.

I wouldn't like a member categorisation related to posts as mentioned.
Color selection would be great!!!!The white one (if there is such) should be more red than the current one which is a bit pinky.
news headlines with description under them as a link instead of being fully viewable (example/sorry,greek site but I hope you'll get what I mean) contra.gr
more smileys would also be great.


that's nice too!!!

intro page would be nice,with Lite version included, but what I'd really like is creating
a milanfan exclusive symbol somehow related to Milan's instead of flash intro..we could work on that too!!!
I'll post a suggestion!!!it could also be faded away at the background of every page!!!!

also a ring or vibration of the open browser (like in MSN messenger) when something new is posted on the site would be really nice as right now we have to keep in mind refreshing the page every now and then.

History of Milan and San Siro (link to official san siropage ) as well as top scorers,greatest players,retired numbers.
A special Paolo Maldini section would also be great!!!!
and Giuseppe Meazza info would be nice too..I actually didn't know who the guy was a while ago...

WAP version would be great,but (I guess)it's not worth the fuss if not enough members are interested.I am though...

I'd also really appreciate it if you could make it so that we are able to delete our own posts..

Anyway thank you m1ke and mod team for what is a really great Milan site!!!!

Chats with Milan Players Past present and future?

MORE MATCH REVIEWS!!!!
we could write our own match reports and rate Milan players and it could be posted on the reports section so that people will have a more complete view of the game!!!!

Haha, we could try, but it would be extremelly hard.

As for a first I think there are only like 3 or 4 Milan players that can actually speak English.

How's about a page dedicated to streaming the games? Or instructing people how to stream the games? Esp. for those of use that are not that savvy with all the technical know-how. I think that'd be helpful. Otherwise this site is $$$$.

Good idea novfan

I did have one of those on the forums but no one ever used it

I woud definitely use it, and I think a lot of other people would too. Perhaps a REALLY prominent streaming link posted on the Home Page with a "fundamentals of streaming" section and a "troubleshooting" subsection would be helpful. From there we could have a common forum, under the same heading where members could provide the latest or best ways to stream the games. As I said, this site is $$$, but it would it be even better if it were also the #1 resource for people looking to stream ACM games.

You think the exact things like me man
I would suggest a seperate forum for match reviews by any member .
I hope this forum is created on Milan fan v1 than in v2.

let's hope so..

what about Milanfan merchandise???milanfan t-shirts,baseball caps,...
they could have that logo I suggested before printed on them!!

Keep the feedback coming guys

@novfan: This will definitely be something you will see in v2.

@milan00047: Members writing their own match reports/reviews is very much encouraged within the specific game thread. Rating the players is a cool idea - I'll get thinking on how we can implement this!

@dst: It is already being looked at

I only drop in occassionally for news but I'm glad to see the activity level increase since I joined! It really is a very well done site Mike! I don't have anything new to add, just the rebrand to make it more readily apparent that it's a Milan site, more red and black, but heck, the URL does the job for me.

Appears you have everything db'd so why not add some filtering/searching mechanisms for the news, results, match reports, etc. You info architecture is pretty darn good but it could be a great with the adddition of the lazy man's tools. mod_rewrite to pretty up the URLs for search engines would add eyes for the info you're publishing.

Become a resource! No, THE resource

maybe the addition to be able to delete our own posts/topics???

There should also be like a "MilanFan's Guide to Milan." That is, a Separate page dedicated to actually going to matches with some sort of user's guide on where/how to get tickets,* the best seats at the San Siro, best places/hostels to stay in the area, best bars/clubs/restaurants in the area etc...I think it would be helpful esp for those of us hoping to make it to a game someday.

Maybe even plan a meeting at some point....(in the waaay distant future of course).

*I just saw the contact info for the San Siro in the "Club" section which was helpful...so maybe this suggestion is a bit moot. I still think a "MilanFan's Guide to Milan" is a good idea though especially in light of Nova's experience.

Many thanks for the suggestion novfan A feature like this (almost identical in fact) is already in the works. It will also allow Milanfan's to share their Milan trips with others, and review bits that may interest (their hotel, restaurants etc.)

news search
player of the week/month
and maybe information about the youth teams???
thanks m1ke

More of a forum niggle really, but how about rules on signature sizes.
Some peoples sigs are beyond rediculus really. They're HUGE.

Tottaly agree.

Some people doesn't realize how big they are...

Thanks for the suggestions dst

News search will be included.

Player of the week/month. Do you mean like a voting system for members? I could see the monthly one working...

And I agree, some Primavera information can't hurt. I'll see what I can do

Yeah, some are pretty silly. Signatures will have size restrictions on the new forum.

how 'bout we all contribute to create a Milan Encyclopedia with a search function!!!

Interesting... you mean like a Wiki?

yes, something like that
ha this wasn't there last time I checked

What about a shoutbox?

I've never actually written in one so could you tell me the main difference it has with a chat-room???

From the peek I saw , Milanfan V2 is gonna be great !!

Only a few months to go

The Design is definetly gonna be changed right?

If so, please go easy on the eyes guys!

has the date been set to launch? i'm really looking foward to it !

Mike if I can somehow contibute to the development of v2 just let me know, ok?

So when is V2 coming out?The Site is nearing it's first birthday!!!!

any nearer to a launch date? can't wait i'm sure its gonna be excellant!

Now maybe it is to late to say something now but i´ll try anyway.
Is it possible to make a restriction of the signature size. Something like, 300x100px or similar.
Big signatures make the forum look really bad so it would have bin great if almost everyone had sigs that are at least about the same size.

i have to agree with you although i would have to change mine.

Any date for the launch of v2, big m1ke?

Yes some sigs need to be changed ...

Sigs we are starting to crack down on a bit more, some are enormous and for people on slower connections it's selfish having to load up a load of images when all they want to do is read some text.

So as for now signatures which are inexplicably big will be removed with no prior warning, if replaced a temporary/permanent ban maybe enforced.

New sig rules will come into place on the release of V2.

There is no need to fill up half a page with a sig, just keep to common sense.

A date mods ?! I almost forgot, I was looking forward to this for sometime now ..

I think our mods got something off of Milan's managment, where they like to surprise us fans

Last min suggestion: - more space in the private-msg's inbox if it's possible.

I don't need this, because no one around here likes me so i don't receive any Pm's

I can assure that are more people in MF Forum hating me than you.

And I get some pm's. Not 1 per day, but some. And it's good to keep them. All, in case we need them someday.

I delete them ... especially LaPalma's ... I hate that guy ...

It's like I said...Noone likes me...

Oh come on, it's not like that ... there's gotta be someone who likes you ... I'll let you know if I find that @sshole around ... err .. he's a good guy!!!

Oh oh, I just found the guy...."Do you like LaPalma LaPalma?" "Well of course LaPalma, your're the coolest guy around here" " Well thanks LaPalma..."

see ??

I like LaPalma...I mean I totally like his taste for Germany NT. If it weren't for them the Azzuri would never have made it to the final.

LaPalma is also a very smart guy. He does his best to hide the fact that he has got this huuuuge thing for Grosso....and in his heart if hearts he'd prefer him in Milan....


LOL....if this doesn't get that icy german to explode nothing well.

@LaPalma...just kidding bro...I hate u just as much as everyone else...I'm sorry but I gotta be a team player right
