Hello Sanctum Dwellers!!!
Let's not bury the lede: On Monday, February 5th, we will be performing an update of the Sanctum. This includes a few minor updates to Xenforo, some backend upgrades (particularly to PHP) and updates to several add-ons too large to be updated while the site is live (in particular, chat). At present, no major feature additions are planned—this will simply improve the stability and security of the site.
As has always been our practice, we will first create a site backup and attempt the upgrade on a mirror site to iron out issues and minimize downtime. An alert will be sent out before the actual downtime, for anyone who wishes to move drafts offsite to keep working on them.
As a new addition, on Monday, we will open the chat on our site announcement server: Join the Sanctum Announcements Server Discord Server!
This will allow communication between members and live reports on our update progress.
Other housekeeping:
Themes!!!
Ahead of Valentine's Day and with a lot of hard work and incessant bullying from @Jumbled, we present a new theme: Blossom!!!
Second, for users who are dyslexic, colourblind or visually impaired, we offer a pair of new themes: Accessibility Light and Accessibility Dark
Per a request from @Cat , these themes use a special font provided by Google known as Lexend for all posts and editors, designed to be easier for people with dyslexia to read. They have also been tested for various types of colorblindness.
And because having them be copies of other themes was boring, they now have their own unique cat and dog themes!!!
As always, please report any theme bugs.
And... that's it! Please post any questions down below!!
