Site Changelog

Changelog Summary
- Many bugfixes and improvements across the site.
- Themes updated for a better experience, but the site is primarily optimized for dark mode.
- Mobile site layout and usability improved.
- Many small design adjustments throughout the site for a more polished look.

Design & UI
- Like button on the mod page has been repositioned and redesigned.
- The number of mods displayed per page is now calculated dynamically based on screen resolution, ensuring 3 full rows for all users and consistent, symmetrical layouts.
  If there is a display issue (e.g. missing mods or incorrect layout), simply resize your browser window and press F5. The new resolution will be saved to local storage and the display will update automatically.
- Many features like Like, Rating, Download, and Messaging are now visible in the UI even for guests. When not logged in, attempting to use these features opens a modal: “You need to log in to access this feature. Click here to log in.”
- New custom emojis have been added.
- New rank "Creator" introduced. This rank is assigned individually and is purely cosmetic.
- "Dump" and "Knowledge Base" (formerly Docs) now appear as main categories in the header (no longer as separate buttons).
