And here's more to expand and improve the forum experience with new features and usability updates. Here are some of the latest additions:

Users' Profiles
Designed to give profiles a cleaner, more modern, and visually appealing appearance while utilizing existing template variables and structure to ensure full compatibility without disrupting existing functionality.


The hero banner displayed above a user's posts is also automatically used as the profile's background banner, creating a consistent and personalized look across the forum. Users who have not set a hero banner will instead see the default #b3280a background, maintaining the forum's branding and visual consistency.
