So far I think it has been the correct move to keep the new website away from prying eyes until everything has been battle tested. It turns out there were many little issues I did not consider, but thankfully we are still in beta mode, and as such come frequent fixes and updates.

Bug Fixes

• Uploaded images now render in mod upload form
• The click and drag forms in the file manager (in the mod upload form) now only moves when clicking on the handle. That way the form stays still when editing text.
• The navigation area has been fixed for the mobile view of the website. Menus were not opening and in some cases, extended past the screen.
• All areas that have user-generated text (mod descriptions, articles, news, etc) now correctly read and display markdown.
• Updates to mod pages and articles are no longer misinterpreted as new mods and articles. They now correctly show up on “Recent Updates” on the front page.
• Archive claim links now properly give you management of your mods and articles.
• Fixed broken OAuth2 buttons (sign in with Google, Discord, or Patreon).

Quality of Life

• Updated styles for all text so that it contrasts better and is easier to read.
• When an error pops up in a field in the mod upload form, it now scrolls to the error so you know where it’s happening.
• Added a copy button to code blocks for easier copying of their contents.
• In the Explore Mods page, the categories on the left sidebar now update counts if you switch between Zoo Tycoon 1 and Zoo Tycoon 2 game categories.

New features

• All recent updates, new files added, new comments site-wide, new mods and articles are shown in the Explore Activity page.
• Can view history of changes to a mod or article page.
• Users can disable view and download counters from their profile pages.
• Authors can disable comments from any content they create (mods or articles).
• Authors can manage who has edit access to their mods and articles, and add collaborators (co-authors).
• Can now use markdown callouts in descriptions. See: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/admonition/
