Update v1.7.0 - New Beginnings

New Header Design

Our old Header that was split into 3 sections was a test to see if it looked and felt well to all users. After reviewing and seeing everyone's feedback, we noticed that the design didn’t meet expectations as well as we were hoping it would.

Based on everyone's feedback, we’ve changed back to a similar layout closer to the original header from months ago, while still adding a few new improvements. The changed design keeps the same feel of the old version but adds a more smoother experience when navigating the platform.

Updated Cookie Pop-up

We've updated the old Cookie Consent Pop-up to have it match our new gray color scheme. Don't worry at all, nothing changed about cookies, just the way the pop-up looks.

New Profile Dropdown

We've changed the profile dropdown to now show Display name, @ username, and more.

New Footer Design

We've changed the Footer Design to fit more in with our new gray color scheme, nothing changed much other than the old blue color. We'll include an old image of what the old footer looked like.

New Notifications Menu

We've changed out the old notifications menu with a new one, to match the sites theme and the new modern UI fell we're going for.

New Upload Flow UI

We’ve made massive improvements to the resource upload UI. Previously, everything was placed on a single page, which made the process feel cluttered and harder to navigate.

The upload flow has been completely reorganized into a step by step system, making it easier to post resources and follow and manage each part of the upload process.

Updated non profile picture user handling

If you're signed into the platform with no profile picture, it now shows the user's name initial of their username instead of a default user icon.

Logic change

Now when you log-in, it will now redirect you to the page you were previously viewing instead of automatically redirecting you to the Dashboard.

This allows a cleaner user experience, and let's users quickly download an asset if they we're viewing one before logging-in.

Documentation, guidelines, and FAQ UI changes

Documentation, guidelines, and FAQ UI's have been changed to fit the more modern scheme we're going for.

We appreciate your patience while we resolved a previous issue that wasn't allowing us to publish this update.

We ask that you send feedback in our Discord if there's any changes that you do not like or want changed.
