To keep all of you informed of site tweaks and updates, I will be providing weekly updates (as needed) summarizing what has or will be done that week.

Updates for this week:
  • Reaction score returns under your names and "Likes" now count towards that score. My gratitude to @Burr740 and @ElleDee for their valuable input on this subject.
  • Rockstar status was adjusted to increase the reaction to message ratio from .5 to .75.
  • Tweaked Journal banner to make it work on mobile.
  • Articles system implemented.
    • The Articles system framework will serve as our article repository going forward.
    • A forum sticky will provide links to Articles from the relevant forum. For example, the Aquascaping forum will host a sticky thread that contains a link and summary to significant articles in the Aquascaping Category of our Articles system
    • The Articles system is being used for improved SEO and improved future organization of our site.
    • The Resources system will be sunsetting once all of the articles it contains are migrated over to the more robust Articles system. In the meantime, the link will remain in the nav bar.
Planned updates:
  • Re-design of Journals and movement into nav bar.
  • Launch of Useful Links section. ✅
  • UX improvements for mobile increasing simplicity of uploading images and creating posts.
  • Bug fixes ✅
Have a great week!

Do to some users unable to see the new webp image extension, we have rolled back image optimization on the forum. We will look to activate image optimization at some future point where adoption of the standard is broader.
