* Redesigned Bug Tracker - Rather than relying on the old, needlessly-separated bug and issue trackers, the new bug tracker is lifted largely from the Chaotic United forums, with a single system for all bugs - whether they be for the website, Discord, or Blamite.
* Redesigned Suggestions Tracker - Rather than the old system with one single category for all suggestions, this also is lifted from CU where each project/service has its own category.
* Replaced old (sometimes broken) links to issue tracker with appropriate links to the new bug tracker

* Updated IP.Board from 4.4.10 to 4.7.10

* Fixed an issue where updating to 4.7.10 caused the shoutbox to fail to load shouts, as a result of the search UI template not being updated - this has been fixed on Elaztek Studios, Midnight, Midnight 7, Midnight 7.1, and Midnight 7.2 (including Daylight variants)

A small change has been applied to the helpcenter.

 

* Anyone that does not have access to the site AdminCP will not be able to see the author of a helpcenter article

- Removed Killerteddy

 

Due to the change in the way helpcenter articles are displayed, any issues you may find browsing our helpcenter should be reported using the "Report Topic" link at the bottom of the article's content. This change was made to maintain a more professional look to the Helpcenter, as opposed to having it look like a blog.
