    Hey Guys. I was wondering if anyone would care to review the site
    www.search4anime.com and the forum www.search4anime.com/forum associated with it.

    I am kind of having a problem with the script, and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it. The problem i am having is with the search box on the actual site. When it searches, it only searches the posts and not the pages. Is there a way to make it search the pages as well?

    An interesting concept. Are the animes/mangas fansubbed?

    I also noticed that some of your anime/manga are licensed. That's a bit risky, even though it's not hosted on your site itself.

    Overall, I think the design has room for improvement.

    As for the searching problem, this page might help you out. It's a plugin (http://www.internetofficer.com/wordpress/search-pages/).

    Thank you the plugin worked great. Yes, the anime are fansubbed. I know they are licensed, but I doubt anything will happen to me about it, since I am not charging for it.

    What do you mean by "fix the forum"? It's the rc1 of phpbb3., so there really aren't many skins for it yet, if that's what you mean. It's either the skin that i have now or sub silver.

    Design wise:
    - Template looks great! I like the aqua color scheme. For the header.. I would imagine you're going to replace this with a customized logo correct? Maybe add some anime figures in there as well.

    Yes. I am. I just haven't figured out what I want to make out of it. Some of the administrators are also graphic designers on the forum, so we will come up with something pretty soon.

    nice site and very clean but there are no graphics to show that it is a anime related site.

    I'm absolutely not fond with the template design,for anime website,definitely not.Look at narutofan.com,they have a striving concept and a beautiful design,plus,many users that visit there site appreciate it as well(I've got this information through an internet poll for website design,a very famous website).

    Anyhow,good luck with your website and have a nice day ;)

    Yeah, but i also lack the 10k+/month income that narutofan makes to design my self a nice template, so i have to use free ones. Anyway, I just put up a new template. I did lots of changes to it already, though it's not perfect, I think it looks much better than the last one.

    I need to change the main navigation all to be on one line (no idea how to do that whatso ever) and then move the whole sidebar down (have a basic idea of how to do that) and put in a header above the sidebar, and take the origional blue one out.
    I am also considering making the sidebar headings smaller. What do you guys think about this?
