Hey there everyone! Here's going to be a thread for when we make some changes and/or fixes to the site! Starting with...
When setting up the custom fields for the site, I forgot to click some buttons that meant that some profile fields were not visible at registration or even visible at all to the user so you might want to check your profile and fill out information (if you want to of course)
You should have fields for
Bluesky
Discord
Fediverse/Mastodon
Personal Website
Twitch
YouTube
If you do not see any of these fields, please let me know!
New Theme [1982 - Dark] (Note some colors might be a little funky for some cases I might not have seen. If you use this and see something illegible, please let me know!)
1982 themes now have icons for indicating Hot Topics!
Updated some colors on the dark 1982 theme to cover some missed spots in the Control Panel regarding the Friend/Foe system and Private Messages. You may need to refresh the cache in your browser if you still see the colors (Ctrl+F5)
Those funny words under your avatar now are more fitting for the forum! Now, you are Critters instead of Newbies and Members!
Due to issues we've been having with mobile users attempting to register with the phpBB Captcha system, we've phased that out and have replaced the system with a simple Q+A system so your friends will have an easier time getting in!
Further wittling down of areas that I had yet to find with the 1982 Dark themes and getting them to look right. If something looks funky, remember to try and Ctrl+F5 before reporting it.
We've expanded on the "no NSFW" rule to add some clarification. The additions are in bold.
This forum is a SFW (Safe-for-Work) space - This includes sexually explicit and adult images, videos or written content, as well as "technically SFW" content that has sexual gratification as a focus (the judgement call on this will sadly be vibes-based as we can't draw a hard line). We don’t have anything against NSFW art or content outside of the forum, nor are we here to judge kinks, but as the above-mentioned rule, it requires an extra level of moderation that we can’t comfortably provide and we also want the browsing of the website to remain SFW. You are welcome to link to your galleries or pages that contain adult material, as long as said pages have age gates or some built-in content warning functionality.
To make it clear, nobody has posted or done anything that has made us add this wording. We know that based on other web communities, this topic eventually always comes up and the admins discussed it ahead of time so we're not scrambling for an answer when it eventually happens. When we say this forum is queer, we mean it.
"If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too."
We've upped the limit of private messages you can have in your inbox from 50 to 500, so it shouldn't feel too restrictive.
Reminder that you should not use these messages for sensitive information and we recommend a proper end-to-end encryption messaging service for such content!

Forget my name and I'll forget it too."
Disabled the Contact Us link because it's not exactly clear what address this sends to and is not giving us errors so if you do need to send us something, use our PM system for us admins!
Wanted to note a change to description of the Arts and Crafts board to indicate that it's not just for visual art but is open to any form of artistic media (within ToS)
Do you like the look of computing when your only interface was green text on a sea of black? Well now you can experience the board with a new theme: 1978! It's very much a theme for those who prefers their themes dark and is very clean AND thematic!
In order to make it easier for creators to get some work done in these trying times, we've created a sub-forum that lets you advertise your commission openings: viewforum.php?f=28
"If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too."
