• A new User Center has been launched. It has all kinds of important links to help newbies or older members find their way around the site. Think of it as a "quick link" section. More links and information on the page will be available within time. We hope you enjoy this latest update to the site!
  
• In addition to the User Center, a new footer design has been launched as well to give it a more simple and easy look. The User Center is mainly to help avoid adding a bunch of links to the footer that will only take up space and look cluttered overtime.
  

Hope you enjoy the newest improvments!
Best regards!

It has been a while since we last had any new changes or updates. Well, here are a couple of new updates for you all!

• A while ago, a new feature to the profiles were added. You can now view everyone's groups/covens that they have joined. Each group is also a link to the group's page so you can join or view it at your leisure.
  
  
• Today I have added a new feature button to the topics called SORT. When click, a drop-down will appear and you can sort the topics how you like based on Ascending, descending, the title of the topic, replies, views, etc.
  
  
  
  

Hope you enjoy the newest improvements!
Best regards!

• There is one minor to a major update that is currently undergoing some tweaks as it improves! There is a new Like system. If you go to a post and click on the LIKE button at the bottom of someone's post, you will have two options, as of right now, either to click the heart icon or the thumbs-up icon that popups up. You can click it again to remove it if you wish.
  There will be more tweaks and improvements to this system as it is still being tested. If any problems come up, please post them in the Bug section of the forums.
  

Hope you enjoy the newest improvement!
Best regards!
