Hello, Members!

I'm incredibly happy to report that the long-awaited upgrade to SMF 2.0 (our forum software) is now live.

This comes with a major facelift of our website, stability and bug fixes, and a number of other changes we hope will make your life easier.

The number of changes are too numerous to count, but here's some of the highlights:

* New Reply Editor
* Updated Draft System
* Real-Time Alert Support
* 2FA Support
* New Mentions System (Try it: @Dylan Torngate )
* New Post Liking System
* Improved IPv6 support
* Updated GDPR compliance support
* Enhanced BBCode Support
* A huge number of Bugfixes - no more site crashes! (Hopefully.)
* Updated Navigation Buttons
* Fixed Email Registration and Messaging System
* Many other minor changes that have been under development that can't all be listed here.

A number of the major features have changed their location on the site. However, subaccounts and user settings should still be accessible to all users, check out the profile drop-down in the top left of your screen!

A few older features have been retired. This includes the ShoutBox, which caused a number of issues and isn't needed with our Discord server existing.

Of course, as with any updates some new issues may present themselves. Please contact me if you run into any issues! Alternatively, if you run into any technical issues or lost functionality you really wish you still had, please also let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Thank you one and all for your patience!

Great job @Dylan Torngate! And just like Scotty, you managed to knock it off in a fraction of the expected downtime, #miracleworker!

Dylan, Nice, Love it, Only question I have is, Can we still post from our main account as our other characters? Or do we have to login into theta certain account to be able to post as them?
