Beta Site Update — New Look, New Tools, New Stuff (Part 2)
Hey everyone! We've been cooking up a ton of changes over the past little while and figured it was time to actually tell you about them. Here's what's new.
🧱 Full UI Recode
This was the big one. Pretty much every page on the site got rebuilt to match the style of the client download page. We went through each one manually — shop, settings, groups, forum, profile, all of it. No more random mismatched layouts or legacy boxes floating around. Everything should feel way more consistent now.
⚙️ Settings Page
Settings got completely redone. Instead of one big flat list with buttons all over the place, everything's split into proper sections — Account, Safety, Privacy, Billing, and Blurb. Each row lines up properly and it actually looks like a real settings page now. The new Safety section has 2FA setup, recovery codes, active sessions, trusted devices and email verification all in one spot.
🛍️ Shop Fixes
Fixed those annoying gaps between item cards. There was a double-spacing issue where the grid gap and the card margins were both adding space, so everything looked weirdly spread out. That's sorted now. We also clamped admin item thumbnails to a sane size, made the admin checkboxes actually visible, and badge backgrounds on light mode are no longer washed out.
🛡️ Admin Stuff
We added a new Games tab in the admin approval panel so the team can review games before they go live. If you make a game it'll need to be approved first — same idea as how items work. We also brought on more people to help with moderation so things should get reviewed faster. Transfer Crate now accepts usernames or IDs and a specific crate ID, with much clearer error messages when something doesn't match.
💰 Daily Bits Change
Small but important — you now need to actually visit the site each day to collect your daily bits. They don't just pile up automatically anymore. We need people actually using the site, not just collecting currency in the background lol.
🌍 Translations + Local Pricing
The site now ships in 70+ languages and auto-picks one based on your IP. Membership and Bits prices are now stored in USD and shown in your local currency (GBP, EUR, AUD, JPY, etc.) — so no more "what's A$ in real money" confusion.
📰 Blog
The blog page got the magazine treatment — featured hero post on top, card grid below, and you can actually click into a post to read the whole thing now (whoops, that was a bug). Image uploads on /blog/create work again too — the storage disk wasn't configured.
🐛 Other Fixes
• Forum reply / new-thread rate-limit no longer crashes with a 500 — it now correctly shows the friendly "you can only post every X seconds" message
• Clan ownership transfer was always failing with "user not in this clan" even when they were — fixed
• Limited item purchases (purchaseSpecial) no longer occasionally throw 500s on the seller payout step
• Award badges are dark on light mode again
That's about it for now. We're still working on more things behind the scenes so stay tuned. If you notice anything broken or weird let us know in the forum. Thanks for sticking around!
