23-04-2024
First of all, massive thanks to @Kean for carrying out most of the development for this update. I've been very busy and he has been a MASSIVE help.
This update brings many QOL improvements! The first you will probably notice is how the login and register pop-ups have changed. They look slightly different and will now remember your username whenever you input a wrong password.
Introducing... profile themes! You can now select a specific theme to show on your profile. By default, this will be the same as the theme you're using to view the site. On top of that, you can now configure if you will see these or holiday themes at all.
Speaking of profiles, they have received a new look as well! User page sections are now displayed in tabs, which will make navigating them easier and more customizable, and now you can choose which sections will be visible on your profile. Also, your display role is now shown in a box under your username and changes without the need for an "update display role" button.
Comment privacy is here! When commenting on a user profile, you can now set comments as private. This will make it so that only you and the page owner will be able to see that thread. Mentions inside these threads will not notify anyone else either. Users will be able to choose if they allow private comments, if only friends can comment on their profile, and if only friends can make private comments on their settings.
And speaking of friends, friend requests have their own page now! Your user drop menu (or mobile menu) will have a new "friends" button. This will show the number of pending friend requests too. The notification counter on desktop will count friend requests, but they won't show up on the notifications page nor next to the notifications link. On mobile, if all your notifications are friend requests, the menu button will be different.
From the new friends page you will be able to manage your current friends, the friend requests you sent to other users, and the incoming friend requests. You can also "ignore" friend requests so they won't count as notifications but are not rejected either. Maybe you need more time to think about it, but don't like having a pending request on your face all the time.
And last but not least... new switch and radio styles. This is only a visual change, but I think it looks neat.
Radio buttons will now look a bit different when selected: the smaller inner circle will be pushed in and the outer circle will be colored to match your theme. As radio buttons are supposed to imitate the buttons you would push in on radios (hence the name radio button) I believe this style matches its origin better than adding a black dot inside while selected. They are also animated!
We also added switches! Everyone seems to have these nowadays and to be honest... they look neat. It's better than the aberrations some are doing to checkboxes lately, like... round checkboxes. (shivers)
Switches have replaced checkboxes in many places, like your settings and the Undertale character editor. They are also used for the new options added to user profiles. I hope you like them!
Oh, and how could I forget... New languages have been released!
These languages have been cooking for a long while, and since they are all above 30% completion rate I have decided to release them. Keep that in mind, they are not complete yet. Anything not translated in that language will be displayed in English.
They are the following: French, Ukrainian, and Russian. We also have other languages in the oven like Italian, Catalan and Dutch, but they are still too incomplete to release. If anyone wants to lend a hand translating the website to another language... let me know!
There are also some misc changes, but I don't want to make this longer than it already is. Check the changelog to know about every single change included on this update!
And one last time... thank you so much for everything you have done for this update Kean. For real, 90% of this was his work. If you like this update let him know!
