System Updates [08/21/2026] - Photonamus - 08-22-2026 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Big update tonight. The site got a ground-up overhaul and it's a completely different experience now. ─── ◆ ─── 10 Themes Every theme from the forums is now on the site — all five dark and all five light. Pick one in User Settings on the left rail and it applies instantly. Your choice saves and follows you between devices if you're logged in. Accounts Your forum account is now your site account. Sign in on the forums and the site knows who you are — no second registration, no extra passwords. Theme preferences and panel states sync to your account automatically. Theme Linking By default your site and forum themes stay matched. Pick a theme on either side and it updates both. If you want different looks on each, flip the toggle in User Settings to unlock them. The Portal The home page is now a portal. News and Articles pull directly from the forums in real time — when something gets posted there, it shows up here. No waiting, no rebuilds. Both sections are collapsible and remember how you left them. Archives for both News and Articles are linked from the left rail with search and sorting. Under The Hood The entire article system was rebuilt from scratch. The old markdown pipeline is gone and everything runs through the forums now. The bundle dropped from 369KB to 226KB as a result. Faster loads, cleaner architecture, and I can push content updates from my phone. ─── ◆ ─── More to come. Forum cleanup and article reposting is next, then we start building out supporter features and the donation system. ─── ◆ ───                                     — Photonamus ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
