Happy New Year, happy Lunar New Year as well! Good health to everyone.
Many of these changes were actually made available to users last December. You may already be familiar with several of these changes.
Pause Notifications
Pause notifications, or set a custom notifications schedule! While paused, you won’t see any desktop, push, or email notifications until after you unpause. Notification bubbles are also hidden from your user avatar in the top-right of the header.
Configure your notifications schedule from the dropdown menu available from your avatar, or head over to your Notifications preferences.
Hashtags
#hashtags for categories and tags can now autocomplete, and look different depending on what type of hashtag it is.
Here’s a couple examples! Announcements news Unturned unturned Modding Support.
Suggestions for Modding Features
Modding Discussion has been a bit of a weird spot where it functions more like a showcase for projects, rather than the intended broader discussion of anything (and everything – including showcases) modding-related.
The descriptions for the various Modding categories have been updated. Similar to the U3 Discussion category, you can also post suggestions (suggestion) for new modding features/support from this category.
Badges
Several new badges were added at the tail-end of last year (and several more were tweaked as well).
-
The three custom badges that used to be awarded for having posts marked as a solution (and would periodically break) have been replaced the new badges that are now packaged with the Solution feature itself: Solved!, Guidance Counsellor, and Know-it-All.
-
Renamed the badges awarded for creating accepted curated content (Skin Creator, Cosmetic Creator, Map Creator, Mythic Creator), and updated their descriptions with more accurate information.
-
The Anniversary, Halloween, and Festive badges have been moved into a new “Seasonal” badge category, to avoid cluttering the “Event” category.
Account Anonymization
Every now and again, we’ve had users ask us to anonymize† their Forum account. We’ve always granted requests for account anonymization, but we haven’t provided an easy way to learn about this process until now. For more information, see: Account Anonymization.
† Account anonymization is the process by which we scrub your profile of personal information and assign a randomly-generated username. It’s preferable to outright deleting accounts, as it minimizes disruptions to discussion topics.
SDG Support (Help Center)
We recently launched a new support site for players! The SDG Support website is a help center. You can read helpful articles, file support tickets, and find links to our other communities from here!
We’re also including patch notes for the preview branch on the support site. If you’re ever on the forum and want to quickly head onto the help center, click the button we’ve added to the site header!
Do you have any feedback about the site? If so, please tell us by making a topic in Miscellaneous Sites with the sdg-support tag!
