diem.io (Tank Warfare mini game): Set-up embed HTML Page Node. | Set-up Public Nav 'Games' + Sub Nav 'Tank Warfare' tabs. | Added a bunch of logic that includes a custom 'Fullscreen' & 'Close Game' button to resolve mobile scroll/pan annoyance.
*Budget as fuck, butt still..... something different for a forum. It's optionally solo or multiplayer by invite too.

Member Stats Widgets: Set-up 1. Message Count 2. Reaction Score, 3. Trophy Points, and 4. Total Donations (all linked to the Notable Members page). | Set-up and wrapped all 4 within an advanced HTML widget to create a single Leaderboard widget. (*located on the Forum View: Sidebar for desktop & below the Forum View list for mobile).
Note: Need to fine-tune it some more and will also have to work on adding new Trophies too since it appears most OG members already acquired all the defaults years ago. Done✓

User Trophies: Set-up a whole bunch more.
Note: the stock XF user Trophy system has retardedly limited options (~75% pedantically relating to donations) and uses ultra nerdy (underwhelming yet wildly overcomplicated, extremely vague, and highly temperamental/unreliable) boolean configured variables.
TLDR: Basically, it's a pain in the ass, can't really do fuck all with them.

Custom User Fields: Set-up another 3 (Rumble, Odysee, and Truth Social). | Disabled 3 of the defaults (Parler, Skype, and Facebook). | Updated default Twitter title > X/Twitter + added basic description.
Note: These are located in the user account section.
Note 2: Adding your handles to these creates a small clickable text link under 'Contacts' in the 'About' section of the user profile page.
Note 3: Have confirmed Bitchute & Telegram Custom User Fields work using my own channels, (*Telegram still seems a little tweaky though), butt I don't use the other 4 platforms so haven't been able to confirm if they're working yet.
Hit me up if there's any issues with them.

Attachment Storage: Cleared out around 20 (very large 50—200MB) broken vids from years ago that were hogging up (~1GB) of our limited/expensive data storage allowance.
This should free up enough space to store roughly 5,000 to 10,000 "normal" forum images (assuming a more reasonable average of 100–200KB per image).

Cache Rebuild: Optimize Avatars. | Ran the rebuild job (*took over an hour). | This is estimated to reduce the total storage space used by all avatars by approximately 30-80%. (*Note: We've been getting a tonne of server error logs recently, all relating to Cloudflare and our data storage allowance but since I don't have direct access to the TFSF Cloudflare account I haven't been able to find out nor attempt to address whatever the Cloudflare issue may be. Best I can do at the moment is deleting old-broken attachments and running the cache rebuilds to optimize existing attachments in order to reduce the total storage we're using to hopefully free up some space until we can get to the bottom of the issue).
