Changelog

Correction scoring has been rebalanced so approved corrections grant +2 points and rejected corrections grant no extra points.

The app now delivers a cleaner, more unified experience across desktop and mobile. Submission management was redesigned with live status/sort controls, clickable entries, and smoother in-place actions without page-jump workflows.

Support ticket threads now include clear system notes for close/reopen/resolved changes, and users can archive closed tickets. Profile settings now include a support report summary with archived totals.

Support now includes managed categories, optional email-only mode, resolved/permanently-closed ticket states, and user email preferences for support ticket updates.

Users can now open support tickets from a new Support page, choose a category and priority, and chat with admins in-thread. Admins can reply, close, and reopen tickets from a dedicated support queue in the admin panel. Ticket IDs and open/closed statuses are now visible to both sides.

This update improves admin moderation workflow consistency and alerting. What changed: - Standardized Quick Admin Navigation across all admin modules for consistent routes and active-state behavior. - Added a new admin email subscription option for new submission alerts in Email Tools. - New submissions now trigger alert emails to subscribed admins, linking directly to the submissions queue.

This update fixes edge cases where some links could resolve incorrectly on live deployments. What changed: - Footer/header information-page links now use strict slug-to-route handling to prevent malformed URL targets. - Base URL handling was hardened so production hosts do not inherit localhost-style origins. - Email branding logo resolution now normalizes legacy localhost and old icon paths to the current deployment base URL. - Added a data-normalization migration to clean existing page slugs and legacy stored logo URLs.

What changed: - Added SEO-friendly toilet list routes for all map locations (`/toilets` and `/toilets/{location}`) with direct links to toilet detail pages. - Added crawler support endpoints for discoverability (`/sitemap.xml` and `/robots.txt`). - Updated location list pages to use a 50-mile radius, show distances in miles, and paginate results for better readability and performance. - Simplified home mini-map popups to only show toilet name, compact location, and a single “View toilet” action. - Refined full-width hero image framing so banners present a tighter, zoomed visual crop.

This release improves location guidance, moderation quality controls, and transparency in toilet change history. What changed: - Added focus-area support to location alerts, including a quick-switch modal and smarter banner reset behavior when focus-area content changes. - Toilet pin placement on create now requires zoom level 19 for improved location accuracy. - Admin reports now include cleanup operation reporting so maintenance actions are visible in reporting workflows. - Moderation now uses dynamic auto-approval based on recent contribution quality, with sampled quality-review checks and clearer user-level moderation stats. - Toilet changelog visibility was expanded so admin moderation outcomes (approvals/rejections and related actions) are consistently logged and easier to review, including moderator/admin role labels in entries.

What changed: - Campaign detail pages now show a richer author card with clickable avatar/name profile links and country display when available. - Active Campaigns top alerts are pinned, dismissible, and now automatically reappear when campaign content changes. - Added Admin Cleanup Tools for campaign-banner reset, orphaned upload cleanup (profiles/toilets/campaigns/badges), and expired token cleanup with dry-run support. - Campaign region editing was stabilized with reliable save behavior and clearer save-status feedback after updates. - Location preference and toilet marker maps now enforce minimum zoom level 14 to improve placement precision, with clear in-UI guidance: "Zoom in for best accuracy. Zoom level 14."
