As part of our efforts to improve usability of various sections of the site, we have implemented an updated interface for hoards. This should hopefully improve loading issues that occur for those of you with sizeable hoards, to cut down on slow loading times and hopefully curb pages crashing due to having to load so many elements. Everything can be dynamically filtered without reloading or changing pages, and hoards are now paginated. This is just the first step to improve usability around the site and make it easier to navigate while hopefully curbing issues with lag and crashing browsers.

Coding Bugs Fixed
A change was made to the forums where, if you view a post or thread from someone you have blocked, it will also hide their player name, icon, title, etc.
Unfortunately, the above change borked spoiler tags - BUT, this is now fixed. If you have a broken spoiler tag in your thread, just click "Edit Post" and click the "Edit!" button. It will recompile your post and fix the error.
Broodmothers should now stop protecting a cub when the cub is transferred away with its mother.

The "Import without background and decors" checkbox in the Lion Wardrobe now works as it should.
There was an error on the clan page where a pending, unofficial clan would show the incorrect expiry date. This has now been rectified.

Clicking the showcase URL to view a showcase when you don’t already have one will finally take you to the proper location to make one.

Various tutorial stages have been fixed and updated with more current information.
Burying a single item from your Hoard page when your display is set to "Unstacked" will no longer bury the entire stack of items.

Note: We're working on fixing freezes and lags around the site, with the Hoard update being the first step. We also want to fix more bugs this month, so there may be extra things tweaked and posted about in upcoming community updates.
