The latest update adds a quick topic feature
This is similar to the quick reply feature we have when viewing a specific topic, but instead this allows you quick start a new topic when viewing the boards topic listing.
At the top of topic listing there is a Start new topic line with a subject input box. Selecting the subject input will expose the editor and allow you to start your topic. I've seen this feature on other forums and I feel it makes it easier to find than the New Topic button at the top of the page. I've often gotten the support request of how do I start a new topic, can't find the button.
I added two new variants, a Blue and a Gold version. You will find them in your profile theme selection area.
In doing those two, I got around to fixing a bunch of things in the theme core, makes creating variants easier, plus fixes a few layout bugs or completes things I had started.
The two new variants show a few things you can easily do, they are both 95+ percent the base theme with simple color and a few structural overrides to make then feel unique. For example Gold had the main main scroll to the top and then "stick" there. Both have color gradients in some of the drop downs. Bunch of other little things.
I'm sure I missed a few things as there are sooooo many areas to validate, but should be good enough for everyone to have fun.
- Added a feature in the admin panel to allow sending an email to anyone really. It comes from the site and is intended to validate you are sending email, and allow you to send an email to a mailtest service to check spammy level. In the past I would create a fake user and set that email to the test service. This worked but was clumsy, so now you can do it properly
- Improved admin search, basically if you do not have a core feature enabled you will only find the enable option when you search. Previously you would see all of the features even when they were off.
- Lots of bug fixes
- Major theme tweaks and fixes. Lets see if you can find them

In the last 2.0 refresh, several updates were made to Notifications.
1) Standard notifications, such as Liked, Quoted, Mentioned, etc. Now have an option under Profile -> Notification Settings, to show notifications from:
- Everyone
- Everyone except those on your ignore list
- Buddies Only
This just gives members a little more control over what shows up under the Notifications button in the top menu. Note this setting does not stop likes or mentions, etc, but simply does not specifically show a "new" one received should you have On-Site notification enabled for a particular action. So for example if you have on-site notification enabled for likes, you could limit that to just buddies (others can still like, you just don't get a specific new indicator under Notifications)
2) The notification areas that are under the Notifications button in the top menu now respect what you have enabled in your profile. So if you don't have on-site notifications enabled for Quotes, then you will not see a quote button in that area for Unread. If you select "Show All", the button it will show up since there is not way of knowing if you change your options over time etc.
3) You can now enable on-site mentions for New Posts in watched topics and New Topics in watched boards. This setting is under the same area of Profile -> Notifications: For topics and boards I've subscribed to, notify me via: On-site mention, but only for the first reply. Previously the only options was via email (instant, daily or weekly) and the only way to see them on-site was to navigate to your watched topic or board listing in your profile.
Hope I've made some sense in the above explanation
- Several more bugs fixed, such as search by board not working when using a custom index - Coppa not really working - Error sending PM to multi recipients - Full ILA image inline shown as thumbnail in preview - Many other annoyances
In terms of new/updated features, several changes have been made to notifications, I'll outline those in a separate post.

Here is where I ended up on this.
All links by default get a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" If you allowList a domain you get rel="noopener noreferrer ugc" If you have permission and use [url url=somesite.com follow=true]somesite[/url] you get rel="noopener noreferrer ugc" You can also set that to false to override the allowList on a per link basis
I'm thinking of dropping the noreferrer from the allowed to follow links, I don't see the harm with passing the site info to the link you are following.
!!
: I'll be making some tweaks as I find layout issues. Already made a update today to address some of them
