LES Platform Updates - 28th July 2026

Bit of a fresh update.

All of this is in the dev version not here yet.

The support ticket system has been replaced, it is built into vanilla now.

When you open tickets, all mods/admins get a notification, you could get an answer from anyone.

Final tweaks done to the new themes, and now the framework for adding new themes is finished, which gives a lot more flexibility than the standard vanilla system, so I might do a phpBB-style view at some point, too.

Link sharing is almost done (Hacker News Style)

New user gate almost done, new users will have to do an intro post etc before they can see or access certain areas. I am making this deliciously tempting for spam bots. Negative karma in here from older accounts will auto-ban the users.

Cloudflare Turnstyle is replacing the user registration manual approval system.

I am targeting the end of next week to get V2 live.
