Head on over to the new forums and give them a test!

As previously noted, you will have to do a password reset on the forums to gain access. Passwords do not migrate between MyBB and vBulletin. To reset your password type in your username, click "login". The system will pout and go emo, saying it can't find your password. Read the instructions and click the link to begin the password reset process.
Please Note: Development on the forums is still a "work-in-progress", but they're finally to the point where testing can begin. Keep in mind this forum software is entirely new and not everything is fully implemented yet, and some older posts may not have ported over right. If you spot problems report 'em! Also, I will be adding to and editing the forums throughout the day. If something suddenly breaks... that would be me.
Give it a few minutes and I should have it fixed.
Also, the new forums do utilize Google Ads (queue complaints!). I've tried to implement them very subtlely and so they won't be entirely intrusive. Why ads? The new forum server costs roughly $50 a month, while not a lot, it stacks up with all the other costs of Fur Affinity. We are the largest, fastest growing site int the fandom, and if you account for the bandwidth between FA, the forums and other sub sites, we're more than double the next largest site. That ads up to... well, a not happy bill.
The ads will help offset costs and go to help FA's bandwidth, servers and New Features Fund(tm). Also, the ads are still in "learning mode" so they may produce some... weird results. Don't be afraid to click them if they seem interesting. They benefit the site.
As always, feedback and criticism is welcomed. Feel free to make the forums work better. If you have any suggestions don't hesitate to share them!
To Do List/Known Issues:
Also, for those Convention Overlords (e.g. "conchairs") your conventions will be automatically added to the "Upcoming Events" sidebar panel. So I gotcha covered, baby.

To Do List/Known Issues:
- Header Design - currently blank and horribly generic. I am waiting on new art to put up for the header.
- Further color/interface tweaking.
- Create a "Light" theme. Right now, there is a default dark theme that mirrors the colors of Fur Affinity, but a Light theme will be integrated into the forums as well. This will happen soon, but is not high on the list.
- Smilies = Broken, broken, broken! And speaking of smilies, we could use some furry themed smilies and post icons. Anybody up for it?
