I am so happy that I was able to build this forum for the community however I do realize that things are a little buggy around here so I have been making some quality of life changes, as well as making a list of immediate improvements to make next, since the big forum update.

What's new since the forum update?

These changes have been made since the initial inclusion of forum features to the website as announced in this thread:

• Session storage has been moved to an external session store: This means that when I make updates to the website, or if for some reason the website restarts, then your session will remain valid and you will not be logged out prematurely.


• Several QoL enhancements have been made while addressing UI enhancements & bug fixes. These include links to user profiles in name on replies, adding user avatars to posts and replies, adding latest threads section to forum home, adding the "back to forum index" button on thread index pages, and other small, yet similar, improvements.

What's next?

ETA: 1 - 2 weeks

• Thread previews: Ability to preview a thread before you create it.


• Thread editing: The ability to edit a thread that you have created.


• UI tweaks: I have realized that while logged in members can delete their own post, I did not add the button for them to my knowledge. I plan to fix this.


• Notifications & a message center: I have realized the immediate need for notifications to be sent to members of the forum, and likewise a central place ON the website for members to check their notifications. This will be in an update near you soon.


• Image/Video uploads: I want to enable media uploads across the forum, as well as the ability to add things to a gallery on user profiles. This would be great for showing off builds or renovations!

Please leave any feedback you have regarding the recently added/modified features, and what you would like to see happen next!
