We have begun making a series of improvements to the review queue, where moderators can review and handle flagged content.
A popup is displayed after completing a review action, as a success indication and to prevent accidental multi-clicks.
If a post is flagged due to matching watched words, the responsible words are listed now so it’s easier to immediately know the reason for the flag.
We have added a new welcome banner feature, to welcome members and allow them to search site content. To turn it on, select the Enable welcome banner site setting.
We continue to make improvements to the admin interface at a rapid pace. Three improvements to highlight:
Uploading and managing your site’s logos has become easier with the newly redesigned and reorganized branding page. The logos we think every site should have are highlighted, while optional logos have been tucked away.
When editing your theme’s color palettes (formerly known as color schemes) you can now specify color hex codes in addition to the usual color picker.
If you like to get into your theme’s code to edit HTML and CSS, you will enjoy the newly improved theme editing interface. We hid seldom used fields behind a toggle, added better descriptions, and always display descriptions at the top rather than behind tooltips.
This release includes fixes for these security issues reported by our community and HackerOne .
