Well, the discussion of sex requires maturity, and I'm not expecting bullshit threads about useless things in sex. I mean, there are many things that are a mystery when it comes to sex, and this would be a great opportunity to explore and find out about what sex is all about. It's not exactly sex 101 here, but that's one of the main reasons for this suggestion.As always if people want it and will post in it I will gladly add it.

I have downloaded and installed this program and I can tell you already that I hate it. I may be a little just annoyed with the fact that it lead me to a completely different page then went on about how to do it and the security risks that are involved. It seems really overly complicated and it immediately made me hate it.None the less I figured it out. User created themes for sites and all that Jazz. Most are crap tho and I am not willing to make one myself nor would I know how. Plus the whole security thing was a no for me.
In short it's crap. Having a theme changer is much easier for people. A simple click to change the theme. Not to mention what about the people without FF? Are they just screwed if they have sensitive eyes? Plus it's not really a theme changer from what I've seen (which has been very little mind you). Like the sites icons and etc. Refer to the Code Geass themed Forum I posted. I had a very strong feeling that this would go down in flames but I am still hoping it can be done. I am in no rush by any means. It's just a nice feature to have.
The add on would have indeed solved my hurting eyes problem but if it means looking at something that is crappy and complicated with a security risk I will take the eye pain.
What I think would be badass is a Tomoyo themed Fakku. Blues and silvers. That would be just eye candy tho.
Well you don't have to use the addon. The main point of what I was trying to get across was that I personally will not be making more themes. Anyone is welcome to make themes on their own and post them on the site. If they are good themes and people like them, I could set up something where you can select it in your profile.
Everything I would have said, has been said:
Although the management of Fakku cares about its members, it would be impossible to cater to the needs of everyone. There is the possibility that Jacob may use "less adult-oriented" banners, but for now, you have to rely on your quick fingers, especially with two keys, "Alt" and "Tab". :D

There's no nudity at all in the current banner, and asking a hentai site to not have hentai in it's banner just beacuse you wanna visit it while your family is around seems kinda selfish tbh.Gambler wrote...
If I did not remember wrongly, quite a while back, there was one user who attempted to access Fakku at school and was shocked to see a hardcore update on the front page. Fortunately, he did not get caught and later went on to make a joke about it.Although the management of Fakku cares about its members, it would be impossible to cater to the needs of everyone.

Just disable image browsing in your browser's preferences while your family is around. Problem solved!g-money wrote...
@Akanova: yep, got your PM a while back. Probably the sexiest and cutest pic of Maka yet.The problem isn't that it can't be done, it's the time and effort needed to be spent recategorizing all of FAKKU manga releases into sex theme tags. Unless someone or a whole bunch of people are willing to do it, it's way too much hassle. I've never gone over FAKKU's library of manga, but I can imagine there being over 1000+ works in there... you wanna try and categorize that according to sexual themes? Unless, if someone can implement a system where we can categorize the releases ourselves based on sexual content, then maybe it would work. I fear that that kind of system would not only be hard to implement, but it could potentially be useless if users abuse said system or aren't careful enough and skipping over some sexual themes.
I originally planned to include a tag system with the new design, but I had to rush releasing the new design and it was one of the things I didn't have time to finish. It's possible that I will add it sometime in the future, but there are just too many more important things that have to come first.

I totally missed that too... dang you Jacob for not telling us.It's true there are a lot of hidden little things that I need to announce. I only haven't because I plan to add a lot more and I'd rather do it all at once.

Dear Sir,a solution to your predicament exists. Behold, the "Stylish" (Terrible name, I know) extension for firefox.
By perusing that particular, fine piece of software, you may change the appearance of any given website upon a whim, including the exact changes you proposed for fakku.
gibbous you continue to surprise me with your good posts. This is exactly what I was going to say.
With the new design I purposely made all stylesheets external. So anyone can go and edit them at their will and make their own styles. There is almost nothing that is styled directly on the page, which means everything can be modified.
To see an example if you are using FireFox go to View -> Page Style -> No Style
Give me some examples of a search that will not work at all.
But you're right, searching for Air brings this up:
https://www.fakku.net/manga.php?search=Air
Which does not work. I will try to figure out why it's not working and fix it right now.

I recognize the underlying problem, but I doubt this will help much. Scientific research shows that over ninety per cent of users do not read EULAs, usage notes, manuals and the like even if they are being forcibly displayed and have to be scrolled through to activate the next step in the registration process. Therefore I concur that it will have little to no effect; the "Before You Post" emergency-kit of common sense ironically gives ample fuel to this belief (although I applaud its very existence). People who cannot even parse those four lines of text will be hilariously overwhelmed by the towering complexity of the FAQ and rules.
But, at least they would have no excuse.
They do not have any excuse as is, ignorance of the rules does not make for exemption of the rules. And why would they need one? They'll simply do it.
Nonetheless I support the idea, because it'd be simply good form. But I'd not rate it as terribly high-priority.
This sums up the situation pretty well. I am one of the people that completely ignores EULAs and lists of rules. Here are my two ideas on the subject.
The Before you post. box that I added the other day will hopefully have a big impact. It seems seems almost too simple, but I think it combat bad posts.
Or, before a user makes their first post display something along the lines of "You are about to make your first post on FAKKU, make sure you understand our rules and posting guidelines before you continue". And link them to the rules thread.

it's working dudesI know this one worked I was talking about my last one.
Did you try again? And did it work when you did?
Honestly those are all awesome suggestions. If I could flip a switch and have them all online and working right away, I would. It will take some time to add these things but I will do my best.
If enough users want it I will add it. I just don't want to add a forum that no one ends up posting in.

Edit: Now that I've looked around here it really seems like a complete waste.A useless addition to the forum.
Well, this section is a subsection of the 'Incoherent Babbling' section :)
So it doesn't really need or have a purpose rather than to be silly in.
This is exactly right, which is the point of the section. And it's obviously been quite successful.

It's a forum game. Pick what anime character you want to "marry" and post a pic of her. You will then be added on the front page of the thread as being married to her. That's it really.That's not actually correct. He asked what waifu is in general, not what the game is.
Waifu just means wife in Japanese. So you would say, Taiga is my waifu.

hi i'm a huge fan of fakku and i download updates a lot but i've been away from fakku for a while and missed a lot of updates and now a massive update has just been released and i'm still behind on downloads. so i was wondering if it was possible to put updates into one big .rar file so that it would be faster because we won't have to click each manga click its link to DL then later interrupting our browsing to DL the next one.If I were to put that last update into one file it would be over 200MB. Eventually we might put out a torrent of everything on the site, but don't expect anything other than that.
So a bunch of us will be at Anime Boston this year (which starts tomorrow). This includes myself, Nikon, Mike, Bio, the artist who did the image on our about page, the artist who did the Hen-Tie shirts, and some other random people.
And we might be wearing these:

So if you see someone in a FAKKU! shirt, stop and say hello.
For the rest of you, this means that updates will be scarce over the next few days. You should take the time to get familiar with the User Uploads section, which has over 28,057 posts. Here are some links inside:
Manga and Doujinshi
Visual Novels, Doujin Soft, and Eroge
Music and Soundtracks

The naming scheme was only changed in the files after you download them. The folder containing the manga once downloaded is what has been changed.
