• The original Changelog thread has been archived. (i.e., removed, but not deleted) The new Changelog model has been implemented as the "Changelogs and Updates" subforum.
  
• The Announcements & News forum has a description now.
  
• The "Suggestions" forum is now known as "Suggestions, Questions & Feedback". It also had its description changed accordingly.
  
• The Forum Changes/Updates Feedback thread and the Bug & Error Report thread have been moved to said forum.
  
• The Rules & Policies forum's description had a minor change: "...the way the forum is being run by the community managers." ⇨ "...the way the community is being run by its Staff."
  
• The "General Yugioh Discussion" forum has been renamed to "General Yu-Gi-Oh! Discussion".

• We had a major forum bug yesterday which was thankfully fixed in a short timespan. Apologies for any inconveniences caused by this. (Announcement thread: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://neoarkcradle.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=86">viewforum.php?f=86</a><!-- l -->)
  
• Shadowfang optimized the forum database in addition after said bug was fixed, which should decrease the amount of 500/503 errors and decrease the forum load time.
  
• As it stands, it appears the forum now also properly marks read posts/forums as read, instead of reverting back to unread (red icon) all the time.

• Renamed the Download sections to actually have "Downloads" in their name. While the category says "Download Area", people may overlook this, thus making the section's presence confusing.
  
• Added a new profile field for genders! The field is optional just like every other profile field, and you can choose "Unspecified" if you don't feel like revealing your gender to the community. The ugly part is that I didn't bother entering the translations for every language pack. I don't know how many people actually use the language packs here, but if anyone is bothered by the options being in English, translate the options for me (because hell if I know how "Other" and "Unspecified" may translate for every language) and I'll gladly fix it. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/NAC_Smiley_Pack_Default/cm.gif" alt="" title="Cookie Monster" /><!-- s -->

One of these is an Username Changes plugin. What it does is that it tracks username changes on one's profile, so there's no need to read back on the Nickname Changes thread. Instead, you can just view the changelog on an user's profile. On a smaller extent, it also puts a limit on nickname changes (1 week) and we approve or reject the change from the Admin Control Panel. It essentially obsoletes our nickname change thread to allow for a smoother process.

The other plugin is the Thank/Like Plugin as an improvement over the default reputation system (which supposedly has its bugs as well). We went with "Like" as per the vote in the feedback thread. Though, if you wish, just call it the Cookie/Koolaid/Kudos/whatever button to yourself. It's enabled in every forum section, you may like posts in Locked threads if you want for whatever reason, and if you choose to do so, remove a Like from a post you already Liked.

If anyone has any questions about these, feel free to post.
