¶ Summary
This release contains a long awaited feature: pretty HTML emails.
Also the forum received some Search Engine Optimizations and CKEditor bug fixes & some usability changes.
¶ Important highlights from this release
-
We finally have pretty HTML emails in our nice blue design
- These emails will randomly mix with the old ones, because mail sending is mostly from the non-beta site, which doesn't have them YET.
-
We changed our sending email from
noreplytoforum@ugx-mods.com for our new emails!
- Fixed some pretty annoying bugs with SEO redirect and Notifications (Alerts) popup 👍
- Boards, Topics, Urls which do not exists will show a proper error page now!
- The beta site should have a GREEN LOCK now as well 🙂
-
CKEditor improvements and fixes were made. It's considered ready for Open Beta now!
- Search Engine Optimizations were made - you will notice this when you link a forum url in Discord, Skype, Twitter, etc. (preview image, preview text, ...)
-
Development / Staff changes:
- Moderators can now faster hide unwanted posts in the Moderation Center
- Testing Tool for html emails and work on E2E tests for CKEditor and such
