New Forum Features ✨

Hello, all. :wave:

Today, we have added some more features for our forum users. :confetti_ball: :sparkles: :smiley:

Here’s the list of some of the newly added features;

1. Solved :white_check_mark:

What does it do?

Solved allows users to indicate that their topic is solved by accepting a post as the solution. Solved topics are marked with check on the topic list, and the solution is automatically displayed at the bottom of the first post.

Topic owners will see the solved button (only in some of the categories) next to the like count.

2. Checklist :memo:

What does it do?

Checklist allows users to add interactive checkboxes to their posts. Users can click on checklist-items after submitting the post to check or uncheck each box, without the need to edit their post manually. Clicking on a checklist-item will log an edit, enabling users to track when items on the list are completed.

How do I use it?

Cakeday recognizes members on their join anniversary, as well as on their birthday (if birthday is provided in their profile). Cakeday displays an emoji next to the user’s name for the full date of their anniversary/birthday, as well as a browsable directory of all users. Can be seen here (Maitreya Fields).

GIF Animation Pause

Clicking on the image will pause and then unpause the animation. Due to browser security limitations, the pausing shows only the first frame of the image, it can’t show the frame the moment it was clicked.

Here’s an obligatory GIF to try it out:
