May 29th, 2021:
- More 9.0.1 updates are live now to all groups.
- The top navigation bar has a tab for Discord and Help again.
- We're taken note of things that need work after the upgrade.
- The top navigation bar now has the '1MB Minecraft' forums as a dropdown.
- We've split sticky-threads from the rest, they show in a more obvious color at the top now.
- Specific forums like Suggestions and Ban-Appeal now have a custom thread prompt, making creating content for people a little easier.
- Suggestions from you all have been noted and are being considered for the next update round.
- You might notice the frontpage now shows a grid of the sub-forums rather than a vertical list. Hopefully this makes browsing the forums a bit more fun and a bit easier.
- A start has been made on the dark-mode version of the site. Once it's 'good enough' we will make it public.
- Various small 'tweaks' have been applied to match the style a bit more of how it used to be.
- The sticky navigation bar at the top (when you scroll down) now has the sub-section again. So it's how it was before (mostly)
- Mobile users will notice an improvement in landscape navigation as well.
- Various back-end settings have been glanced over quickly and reconsidered. Hopefully this is the first of a few steps to take to properly configure the front-end to how we want it to be. We're still getting used to the new back-end.
- Database maintenance has been completed. Caches are properly rebuild, counters are revisited and table fields have been optimized/repaired where logical, CDN endpoints have been reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
- Front-end maintenance for caching, optimization is scheduled for a future 9.0.x release.
- Thread tagging is possible again. Use your common sense please. But if you make new content about phones, you can tag it for example phones, iphone, android, .. and this makes it easier in the tag cloud to find related content.
- Facebook and Twitter sharing has been re-enabled. I think it works okay now. Test it someone?
- A tab for Discord is re-added, enabled, and a widget is now included on the discord page, as well as the sidebar on the forum (for now, until we find a better and more logical spot for it)
- The tab for Help is re-added, enabled, and sub-menu is added as a dropdown that links to the default and custom pages. And yes, it has out of date information but we're going to fix that when we have the time.
- The Alerts tab in the top right now shows more clearly what is unread, read, and gives you access to the alerts overview page. You will also notice that certain repetitive alerts like reactions will get batch reported and summarized.
- Forum descriptions are here to stay, I think this is easier for new people to understand and find than a tool tip.
- More content from older forums have been moved to the public archive.
- A few buttons have been pressed here and there.
Okay, that's it for the OMG boards today, this is still 9.0.1, bigger changes are scheduled for 9.0.2 and the dark theme will introduce 9.1.x
