Development plans - Monday 30th April 2018
As I mentioned in the bug reports thread I'm currently working at sea so that's why there haven't been any major feature updates in the last week or so. I thought I'd post and let you know some new things that are coming soon and are in the pipeline :geek: :
- More profile customisation options ('characters' section, featured image, race, profession, etc.)
- Polls for topics that can be voted on
- Registered users online on index page footer
- More SEO optimisation
- Minor design changes suggested by our members
May I also say that we're nearly at twenty members! Some may laugh - but we are growing - and the discussion and quality of posting has been excellent so far. Keep it up guys I'm very happy with how things are progressing on this front
