Hi everyone!
I've been busy working on ForumSpark and have pushed a bunch of new features and improvements:
- Topic Labels Improvements
- New: File Attachments
- New: Welcome PM
- Users Online page Improvements
- Admin Users page Improvements
Topic Labels:
You can now add coloured labels to topics - great for marking things like [Solved], [Bug], [Suggestion], or anything you like for example General, Tech, Community, Sticky, ... Labels are fully customisable with your own colours and styles, and administrators can control which groups are allowed to assign them.
Labels are also clickable to filter:
File Attachments:
Members can now attach files to their replies. Administrators can enable or disable attachments, set a maximum file size, enable per group, and choose which file types are allowed - all from the Admin Control Panel.
Images will be downsized by a WEBP convertor to save storage up to 70%. Fair warning: when you run an image-heavy community, keep your board storage in mind. Don't panic: We will offer larger storage in the future though.
Welcome PM:
You can now configure an automatic private message that gets sent to every new member when they join your board. Set a sender and write your own welcome message from the ACP - perfect for sharing rules, useful links, or a friendly hello.
Users Online Redesign:
The "Who's Online" page has been completely redesigned. It now detects which device members are browsing from (desktop, mobile, or tablet) and lets you filter the list. Guests are shown separately with a cleaner layout.
IP's are stripped on the picture above.
Theme Safeguard:
An extra layer of protection has been added that validates theme layouts before saving. This prevents a broken layout (e.g. missing the main content region) from being saved and accidentally locking you out of your board.
Other (and earlier patch) improvements:
- Improved domain manager with clearer DNS setup instructions and visual examples
- SSO avatar syncing is now enabled by default
- Verification emails are now correctly sent when registering via SSO
- Admins can now manually verify an account
- Fixed mark-as-read not working on parent forums with no direct topics
- & page title fix
If you see anything off, let me know. As always, feedback is welcome. Feature requests are encouraged. 
PS: Since json files are now able to be uploaded, it will make the releases of new themes slightly easier while we await the new Theme & Extensions manager.
