We only have a couple of updates for all of you today.

• @Impulse added a forum navigation menu across the forum. It's not expanded by default to make it smaller. You can find this navigation menu everywhere except the homepage (you know, because the homepage already lists all of the forums). This might be a nice familiar feature for many of you, and it also has the benefit of allowing you to quickly switch between subforums.
• Because of the navigation menu being present across the forum, we've limited the latest posts and latest threads widget to just the homepage. This also gives the homepage more of a purpose as well.
• @Impulse added pagination on the mobile view at the request of @Vix. This is disabled by default on Xenforo, so please let us know if you notice any weird display issues around the forum.
• @Impulse also made some adjustments to the user drop-down menu at the request of @Octavia.
• I removed the birthday trophy as @roydan pointed out that it could cause some privacy issues. After looking into it, it does say the date the trophy was received on your profile. Begone, birthday trophy! Some other questionable trophies have been removed as well.

We're aware that the navigation bar looks a little dated. This seems to be the only add-on that provides a functional navigation bar based on user permissions (i.e., you only see the sections you have access to). The one we're all used to was custom-coded, but lacked that functionality. https://xenforo.com/community/threads/navigation-sidebar-widget.152181/#post-1273460

We should be able to easily make adjustments to the design of it, so we'll look into doing that over the next few days. We're also considering limiting which sections appear in it, but that's a little difficult to decide on at this stage.

I posted this a little late, but here's the change log for the 29th.

• I know this is a small feat, but today was the first day that we had over 30 members online at once! Because of this, I've now increased the maximum number of names displayed in the "Outlaws Online" widget from 30 to 50.
• At some point, we want to lift the manual approval for sign-ups. When we do this, we'll re-enable e-mail verification, but we're also setting up some things to reduce the number of bots and spammers from signing up. Now, these weren't cautions I was able to do before, but they should work quite well without affecting genuine users.
• We've blocked accounts from registering from domains we've seen bots and spammers use.
• We made several other security-related changes. We're not going to go into great detail about these, but this is a priority for us as we want to make sure everyone's accounts and data remain safe.
• The "charge" BBcode tag has been removed. It was meant to be a feature for fun, and we might enable it in The Saloon later on, but there's too much potential in it for abuse. This is something many of you have stated, and after looking into it, we agree.

Today was a slow day in terms of updates. We're mostly working on some stuff in the background, so the next few days might also be a bit slow.

• Our removal of the charge BBCode tag yesterday did not work for some reason. We've applied a new fix to that, and with the help of several members to test it this time, we can confirm that it no longer works.
• The "New" prefix is now selected by default in the Sapphire Suggestions section.
• "Poke" has been changed to "headpat" after many of you overwhelmingly voted for the change.
