Hi guys,

Just like to say a big thank you to all members for their support! It's you guys (and gals! smile.gif) who keep the site going, which means that you have the power to change it.

Which leads me on to Milanfan v2! Work has already started, but this will basically be a complete re-design of the site. This isn't just around the corner, but with your help/ideas/input, it will be ready in time for the new season (probably sooner devil.gif).

I would really appreciate your thoughts on the current site. What do you like about Milanfan. What don't you like? What would you change, and what would you like to see? Anything you can think of, just drop a post in this thread or send me a PM.

Thanks everyone, and hope you all have a great New Year! king.gif

Mike.

Hum... first, thank you m1ke for keeping up the best Milan website all over the Internet. I hope Milanfan can stay for the next years.

Changing to v2? Hum, it's hard to say anything... it's almost perfect. Probably a new logo (related to Milan), and some adds/improvements to the forum (like add that levels "1 post - amateur" | "10 posts - beginner" | "1000 posts - pro").

In general, I would like a "darker" MilanFan.com. How can I say... Milan is Rossoneri. Red&Black. Should use more Red&Black than Red&White(nowadays).

But, all I want for Milanfan, is to be alive for the next years/seasons.

Thank you m1ke, again, and to all the admin/moderators... and of course, to all the Rossoneri Community who use/visit the website & the forum.

Happy new year!

Hey

Well I also think that Milanfan is already almost perfect. Its running fine as far as I can see so its hard to put my finger on anything thats inneed of a revamp! tongue.gif
Maybe we could have the AC Milan logo on more things? Or is it copyright?
I personally dont like all the news on the front page, maybe have a link to go to the news instead of all the scrolling down to all the stories?

Maybe we need more people posting news and things? Spread the load a bit more?

apart from that all I can say is keep up the good work guys and dolls and well done to Mike for keeping up all the hard work biggrin.gif

The thing is, is the news service Milanfan uses might not be able to do that but I'm sure Mike will find a way to do so.

m1ke, could you make it possible for us to be able to use our own avatars? as I know that I am not able to use my own avatar.

Many thanks.

More feedback please people! Even if its only a single suggestion, it'll be greatly appreciated.

Also, what screen resolution does everybody use here?
Milan Are Brilliant
I'm 1024 x 768, it won't matter if you make things in percent not pixels.

Although I'm sure you are aware of that wink.gif

How about integrating our colours into the site?

A few more smileys?(especially a nodding head wink.gif )

To be honest, you have done such a great job with this site it is hard to better it! smile.gif

all agreed. smile.gif

More smilies; power to change avatars locally (not through internet, as it is very confusing); and colors too.

I will post more in this thread when I think of more. smile.gif

we had that one going, and it disappeared mysteriously. rolleyes.gif
m1ke
Yeah, really sorry about that guys. Boban, the person running the competition found it really hard to keep it going every week due to his other commitments, and I couldn't find anyone else who was willing to take it over.

I'm going to take the prizes from this season and make them up for grabs next season, so more people (rather than just 1st, 2nd etc.) will be able to get a prize. I'll also make sure that a team of people are in charge of it, and not just a single person king.gif
Milan Are Brilliant
As for the whole load up your avatars from your own PC that is just the forums.

The forums are not made by milanfan, it is a set template (php coding, web design jargon!).

This is why it is hard to quickly change things on it.
Milan Are Brilliant
Don't be sorry Mike, it's not anyone's fault.

You do a brilliant job, end of smile.gif
m1ke
For Milanfan v2, I'll write a proper guide showing how to upload your own avatar smile.gif

If I were you, Mike, I would be very proud of all these achievements. As everyone here can see, you are doing more than a great job. smile.gif well, not to write off the brilliant assistance from "Ash Is Brilliant 05". tongue.gif

an off-topic question: where is your "05", Ash?
this leads to another question: can username be changed?? ohmy.gif not that I want to change mine, i am just curious. smile.gif

The main thing that i'd like to see on V2 is that the main page uses as little 'fancy' design as possible. Stuff like QT, Flash & whatnot just causes the webpage to load slow on some computers, and myself, i like to click on MilanFan, and then within 2 seconds, the entire front page has loaded. Sorta like how it is now.

A more liberal use of the colour black wouldnt go amiss either.

Oh, and when i click on 'highlights' on a match report, it'd be nice if it went to the right thread.

Thanks for the feedback dude king.gif

There are going to be 2 versions of the new site, normal and 'lite'. These are just going to be defined by using seperate style sheets, and the site will remember your preference via cookies.

Black (and red) will be the site's primary colour(s) devil.gif

And yeah, with regards to the highlights, that was always the intended aim. However, the match report is nearly always added before the highlight thread appears, which means someone needs to go back and manually edit the report to include the current link huh.gif But I'm glad you brought that up, because it's something thats being worked on!
Bleehh
mike i love the site ......sometimes i keep it running when i'm over the net just to catch the new Posts and news.......its great but more MILAN LOGO needed as the guys said.
hmmmm one more thing i've noticed in ACMILAN site that there is a breaking news banner (or what ever they call it) anyway can we be linked to that directly insted of visting the site ( for lazy ppl like me tongue.gif)
i know that thing dosnt give alot of details but just for a change .......smile.gif

We do have an RSS feed which can be used as a breaking news service from milanfan.

But it's an idea, a good one, might take some work but I think we would make it happen cool.gif

Seperate pages, as you said, is an excellent idea.

To be honest, just minor changes need doing, the site is near perfect, just a few minor niggles, like some of us have pointed out, need fixing, and the site will be perfect. smile.gif

It just stops people flooding the forums with them.

I think an "Anti - Inter" or "Anti - Juve" section would be niiiiiiiiiiiiiice !!
I've seen this in another website (Will not name it cause I don't want to promote it) and it's too funny...

Milfan V1 is awesome, I can't immagine V2 !!
Keep up the good work guys (M1ke and team) !

If we have a source to update the Anti Inter or Anti Juve section , it would be great ! I once had an audio clip of Carlo pellegatti when Inzaghi scored the winner against FC Perdenti , priceless cool.gif
Portman
Don't agree with that - ANTI-... - It's a site for Milan, so it should not give importance to the others.

To be honest, I don't give damn about them.

One thing I would like, is (for example): the story of the club.

As I said before in the thread: an improved forum would be great too.

Maybe a 'automatic-NEWS system from ACMilan.com - the official website'. cool.gif

That is true, why waste our time and energy or should I say the Mod's time and energy on them when you could put it into promoting more things on Milan on the site biggrin.gif

speaking of which, I think his commentary (together with that of the poor Inter dude of course tongue.gif) in the huge comeback in the derby was indeed a must-have classic! was that you who uploaded it to milanfan? smile.gif

also should have the video clip after JDT (well, Inzaghi biggrin.gif) scored the 91st-minute winner against Ajax, the explosion of San Siro Stadium. That always brings tears to my eyes. devil.gif

Maybe a WAP website (by phone)?

Like wap.milanfan.com ... you enter in the website by your phone, and get all the latest news @ Milan.

I mean, don't know if it's possible... but for the people who work and can't get in Internet during the week, would be great. cool.gif

Don't think this would be a good idea either as once you've seen the animation once it would annoy you to see it everytime you come on this site.
