Updates

It's been a while since a major update was introduced to the site. Actually, it's been about three months I believe! I think more than enough time has passed and that it's time to introduce some exciting new changes to Kinmunity. Our site has been updated once again, and hopefully will bring you an experience that's better than ever. So, let's dive into some changes, shall we?

Under the hood, we have upgraded to the final version of Xenforo 2.2 and we left 2.1 behind. This introduces some major new features and changes to the site, such as:

• User Profile Banners, similar to Facebook or Wolf Howl.
• A cleaner, easier to use, rich text editor for composing posts.
• New node types, for example:
  • The news and announcement forum is set to the "articles" type.
  • The 'Kin Q&A forum is set to the "questions" type.
  • The "suggestion box" is set to the "suggestions" type.
  • ... etc
• The ability for all users to request username changes via the user control panel, provided they meet the waiting period requirements. Additional name changes will be available during the KinCash shop that are not subject to waiting requirements.
• Eventually, a progressive web app for Android!

These changes may seem relatively minor compared to other updates we've released in the past, but they should significantly improve your experience while using the site. A few features need to be manually updated to work on the new version of the site, namely:

• The social groups system.
• The KinCash system.

We're working on getting these systems online for you as soon as possible. Thank you for using Kinmunity! AWOOOOO~
