Profile regions & smarter listing defaults
- Added a Region selector to your profile so you can set which game region you play in (North America, Europe, Asia, South America, or Mainland China).
- New listings now auto-default to your saved region — no more picking it every time.
- Other players can see your region on your profile at a glance.

Better messaging & cleaner class pages
- Refreshed the messages popover with profile pictures, conversation search, grouped timestamps, cleaner chat bubbles, and a smooth open animation.
- Clicking 'Message' on a profile, listing, item, or dungeon party now opens that chat right in the popover instead of taking you to a blank page.
- Added an 'Open full view' shortcut for anyone who prefers the dedicated chat page.
- Removed the standalone Talents tab — each class's talent calculator now lives on its own class page, and class links no longer skip past the lore.
- fixMay 11, 2026
Smoother search, safer posts, more reliable trades
- Fixed an error when searching item names that include commas or other special characters.
- Inappropriate language is now caught before it's saved on listings, posts, watchlists, and profiles.
- Fixed a permissions issue that was preventing some players from posting new listings.
- Improved validation on item names, quantities, and agreed prices for more accurate trade records.
- Tightened links between the item catalog and listing pages so price tracking stays accurate.

New messaging system & expanded market data
- Replaced the old chat with a single popover at the bottom-right — click it to see all your conversations.
- Open any thread directly from the popover to read history and reply without leaving the page.
- Removed the Messages tab from the top nav since everything is handled in the popover now.
- Added a new Market Economy view showing top-watched items, recent sale prices, and daily bid/ask snapshots.

Stronger sign-ups & account security
- Sign-up now explains exactly why a password was rejected — including if it's appeared in a known data breach.
- Added a password strength hint so you know what works before you submit.
- Limited listing notes to 500 characters in the database to match the form.
- Locked down internal email cleanup tools so only trusted systems can run them.
- fixMay 8, 2026
Behind-the-scenes security improvements
- Restricted internal database helpers so only the right systems can call them.
- Closed a security gap flagged by our scanner around how database functions resolve names.
- Trade and messaging features still work for signed-in players and continue to verify identity on every action.
- The automatic listing cleanup no longer exposes raw error details in its response.

Cleaner boards & a paused calculator
- Dungeon Finder parties now close automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity to keep the board fresh.
- Temporarily removed the Skill Calculator while we rebuild it with verified Farever data.
- Clarified that the trade board is readable by everyone — you only need an account to post.
