Just a quick thing listing off the new additions made to Project Cyden that will hopefully make things easier.
- New Avatars as well as updated Default. We have a lot of people here that may not have the ability to get their own icons. That's totally fine. But it does make it a little annoying to quickly see who you are talking to. To help make this easier, we have added eight more avatars to pick from. Even some that are for our human users! If you want to swap to the new ones, go to your profile page > Edit Profile > Use a Forum Avatar - Pick One > Click on "Pick One" to select your Avatar!
- Updated the "New topic" icon and the default icon for the forum threads. The old folder one was personally annoying so it needed to be updated. Opinions on it?
- Changed the stars that represent your member rank as well as made the different levels more achievable. It is currently set up to be really easy to read and understand for new people WHO has been around the longest and knows what this place is about. Numbers are based roughly on current user posts vs how active they are in the community currently. Now its as follows:
- Added more resources and threads for new users and updated lists that needed updating. Now we have the following items:
These last few are all clickable links to what they mention, in case you wanted to explore them yourself! These should be all the updates covered. Thank you all for checking it out and contributing to Cyden! Its growing very nicely and in ways we never expected it to!
