Hi everyone! I know this has been the most active thread on the forum lately, so I'd like to post here to have all of you take a minute to read this thread and hopefully respond where you can. It's about ideas for site changes for 2019. I can't wait to read your thoughts & see what we can do 2019 Update

Hi all, First off, I'd like to apologise for being a little MIA recently. Had a lot of stuff going on in my personal life I needed to take care of, but now I'm back and ready to put all my focus back into the site. That being said, I am ready to make some updates to the site. But of course, I do all of this for you guys. A lot of time and money goes into LanaBoards, but I'm willing to do it all because I adore this community so much. It's become family to me. So that being said, I want all of your opinions on what I should do. I'm preparing a new theme for you all to hopefully roll out before March. I was going to wait until we had some proper photoshoots for NFR, but it seems that's going to be awhile, so I'm going to create a little in-between theme with the current site layout until we get more era-related content. Then, when more NFR stuff rolls out, I'll re-update. So let's talk about this. When NFR comes and another update will follow, would you prefer I just make another theme or would you like to see a whole site update? I asked this question a few weeks ago, and the majority of the users said they'd prefer to keep the site the way it is, just with an updated theme. But I'd like to revisit this question. If I were to do a site update, the website would look similar to DiamondGarden.net, as LanaBoards uses the same forum platform as they do, and that is what an updated version would look like. Tell me your thoughts. Another thought that's been brought up is an updated mobile site or even an app. This is something I've been wanting to do for awhile, but this will take a lot of time and money, especially if I were to do an app. I've heard users say they would even donate to a kickstarter type situation for an app (I also take donations and still actively do. There are large monthly and quarterly fees to keep LanaBoards up and running, and I pay these with the Adsense & donations, and sometimes out of pocket if my revenue isn't enough to cover it) Thoughts on this? Would you all be willing to donate if I were to roll out an app? An updated mobile site would probably cost less if nothing at all to produce, but would take lots of time. Please tell me all your thoughts. What I should do in terms of updates, mobile options, new features, and any other things you'd like to add. Again, I'm making these changes on your terms! I always strive to have this little hub to be as enjoyable for everyone as possible, so I'd like to create something that would satisfy as much of you as possible. I'm sending you all so much love. Everything I do is all for you. I'm so thankful to have found this community many years ago and now run this site for us all. It's the greatest gift I could ever ask for. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on upcoming changes for the site, and then watch them fruition. Here's to a wonderful 2019 for everyone on LanaBoards. -Elle

I should note, the image isn’t for the box! It’s for the display next to the perfume. It’s just a magnetic photo on a displayed box the size of the perfume. You can find it in ulta with the Gucci fragrances (I work at Ulta but am currently out of state and literally went to another ulta to go see it loooool) x

New lyrics from the new snippet: …he’s already hurt I said, don’t be a jerk Don’t call me a taxi Sitting in your sweatshirt Crying in the backseat Ooh I just wanna dance with you Hollywood and Vine Black rabbit in the alley I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue I just wanna dance with you I just wanna dance With you This is going to be one of the best songs on the album. I’ve also updated the OP with all the lyrics we have so far x

New HIAB snippet + video!! This is going to be one of the best songs on the album.

Whew welcome back king, bad timing x

Control yourself gaysIf ur really that needy find a friendly New Zealand friend to gift you the song through iTunes or pls just wait until it’s on your store!! x

Also please do not direct people of where to find a download link unless it is from iTunes or verified streaming service!! Doing otherwise is still against the rules x

Will be warning members who ask for a link & banning those who post it!! Again, this is officially released content and posting download links to so is against the rules!! X

Please try to post spoilers in a spoiler for those who wish to wait until the radio premiere!! & again, NO LINKS!!!! Thank you!! X

Now is a proper time to say - if the song ends up leaking on pico etc., PLEASE DO NOT POST/REQUEST IT! Sharing download links to officially released content, whether pre or post release, is against the rules! Thank you! X
