The holidays have arrived and we wanted to give a little gift to our beta testers. Everyone can now visit the credits shop and enjoy 3 new items without spending a single credit! We appreciate everyone who has participated in the beta thus far and we look forward to the days ahead. May everyone have a safe holiday season and a happy new year. Now let's take a look at some of the recent updates this round.

- The Top10 module will now appear in all browse sections.

Security Updates

To ensure user accounts are secure and up to date we have created two new security alerts that help identify and resolve problems with invalid emails. You may notice one of these messages appearing in the account area.
- Notice: Your e-mail address has not been verified and some features may be restricted.
- Security: Is 'email' still your active valid e-mail address?

Credits Shop

Stand out from the crowd and show a little personality with username styles! These styles appear in certain areas such as private messages, forum discussions, comments, details and on your profiles. These new shop items are a one-time purchase that lasts a lifetime. After you purchase these features you will be able to enjoy customizing your username as many times as you'd like forever!

Monetization (Tags)
---
We have monetized tags which removes all profanity and prevents these profanity tags from being added. We have also cleared tags that were no longer associated to any files. We still have a couple more tasks left with tags as mentioned below.
3,875 tags with no associated file removed.
1,961 tags with profanity removed.
*0 User tags have merged with official system tags. (pending)
*In some situations we have noticed users adding tags to files but did not apply the system tag. For example a user may tag a map 'snow, winter' but did not select Arctic/Winter or the Snowy system tags. Or let's say someone added a user tag 'pistol' but did not select the 'Weapons >pistol' system tag. One of our goals is to correct the current tags and to prevent this type of situation from happening in the future. This will greatly improve the ability to discover content when browsing maps and mods.
Stay Safe & Happy Holidays!
