Website Updates

Posting and search

• A thumbs-down is now in the emoticon panel.
• Text fields stay at 16px on phones, so iPhones no longer zoom in when you tap the header search or another field.
• The header search box now shrinks properly on narrow screens.
• Each thread now shows who started it and when ("Started by … on …"), above the first post.
• Jumping to a post from a link or notification now lands it clear of the sticky header instead of hidden behind it.

Logo and header

• Phones now show the square Zen Cart logo. Larger screens show the wide logo.
• Hovering the logo shows "The art of ecommerce".
• The same logos are used on the login and register popups and in search results.

Plugins

• Uploading a new release is no longer rejected because of an older release zip that can't be read. Authors couldn't fix that themselves.
• The new release form now preselects the "encapsulated" setting from the previous release.

Your data

• The data export now includes copies of the emails the site has sent you. Sensitive notifications are left out.

For staff

• The dashboard Threads table can be filtered by forum, moderation status, pinned and locked.
• Post reports now open the post in a new tab instead of a preview.
• The plugin moderation queue has delete and reject dialogs and a more compact layout.
• CMS pages and menus can have several named drafts, with shareable preview links.
• Plugin releases can get a staff-triggered AI security review.
• Email bodies are logged in the dashboard.

Behind the scenes

• Search indexing was slimmed down, and the sitemap and avatar caching were tightened.

Covers changes up to commit 8035d3ec (1 Nov 2026). The next update starts after that commit.
