What's New Here (Recent Changes)

This thread will be used as a place to post recent changes.

To start, the new topic button from the top of the site is now gone. It became redundant after adding a new theme component. The new theme component adds a Compose button above the topic lists:

One you click/tap it it opens a menu:

It’s pretty self-explanatory. You can compose things but you can also change your cover image or profile picture (avatar), though I haven’t tried either.

There’s some personalization you can do from your profile (account tab – first select preferences or the gear). Your list of personalization will be slightly different from mine, but you get the idea:

  • You can pick the title that displays after your username. Some come from groups you’re in and others are unlocked by unlocking badges (by being active on here).
  • Depending on the groups you’re in you may have flair. Flair is displayed on your thumbnail. VIP Elite is currently the only flair at the moment. You must be in the VIP Elite group to get that flair.
  • Custom status is a simple status update. It lets you pick an emoji and provide short text. You can have it expire automatically if you’d like.
  • Primary group lets you set a group you’re in as your primary group. I’m not sure what all the benefits are of it but if you’re in the VIP Elite group and the Old School group you can use that to switch your colored text color (Old School is cyan and VIP Elite is yellow-ish orange).
