Welcome to the Beta Bots testing group, First Gen!

🔐 SECURITY, DEBUGGING & CODE STRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS

• Reviewed and addressed security reports submitted
• Investigated and mitigated multiple potential XSS vulnerabilities throughout core site files
• Refactored and relocated common reusable security and utility functions into a new shared file to streamline `core.php`
• Implemented and tested site-wide security signature logic to detect unauthorized tampering or suspicious activity
• Resolved legacy issues with improperly escaped user input and outdated encoding practices in public-facing pages
• Began methodical cleanup of smiley BBCode behavior in forums to resolve display and overlap issues
• Reviewed and patched additional edge cases in form submissions that previously bypassed encoding or filtering layers

LET'S GO BABY!!!

Some feedback thoughts:

• The site tabs, how are they supposed to behave? Sometimes I have to click the tab for the sub-menu to persist, other times I can get away with hovering. Still other times, it didn't matter which — I had to move my mouse cursor fast or the sub-menu disappeared.

• The size of the indentation when using a list format in a post has always annoyed me, even on the old site. Just want to put that out there.

• Does mission submission have to require inputting a CAPTCHA? I'll sometimes try to join a mission that has only several seconds remaining until closure.

• I miss the compactness of the tables used for the Registry, Armor, and Weapons pages.

FWIW, the CAPTCHA is some really old code that was removed years and years ago, and is probably showing up by accident. You can ignore it, the mission will still go through if you leave it blank. As to spacing... there's a post in the feedback forum that might interest you!

In general, I'd say don't sweat the layout details at the moment, especially in HMW. Its old code isn't playing too well yet with the new site structure and will get tuned later.

I just added all Seibertronians who last visited Seibertron.com's forums in the past 6 months to the BETA testing group. They would have had to have been logged in.

Time for feedback. I'm buckling up and putting my helmet on now!

It's gonna be a bit of a shock but a welcome one

Lots of work to be done still im trying to get most major things completed in time for Seibertron.com's official 25th anniversary which is on June 26th.

I don't know if this is just a local issue, but it looks like the images are broken on on the front page for the "Recent Twincast" section- For my machine this seems to be only impacted on the homepage...

the images on the homepage are working. what browser are you using? can you for a refresh?

I was running Chrome- just re-checked and everything is looking good!

It looked like a loss of internet error when the images don't load like that

Does the thread title need to appear in every post? Seems overkill.
My 2 cents.
