I've spent the afternoon updating some of my ACP tools. Allowing me to overall save time but also providing me options for better features.

One of the updates was the ability to add new crypto to the Crypto Game. Previously its designed in a very messy way. I may still end up rewriting the whole thing but for now I have it so I can manually add a crypto from ACP.

I have just added Kaspa (as a test and because it's #55 rank).

If you have any suggestions to add from the top 200 coins please provide a link to the Coingecko page (we use their API).

Enjoy and thanks.

To celebrate our new theme let's have a BOGO scratchcard sale. Buy one, get one free. This only applies to the crypto purchased cards.

As an added bonus, if you spend $100 or more in single invoice you'll get the Purple Gift award. Please note that you will get the award granted for every $100 invoice even if you already have it.

Sales ends Sunday June 8th.

Enjoy and thanks.

This is the moment I'm asking for some feedback on the new theme changes.

Spent most of the day tweaking little things. You might need to F5+CTRL in your browser to refresh the cache.

Just did something for MRT-X group and I gotta be honest. Both with MRT-X and Mentors I feel like we've revived dead groups only for them to be Site Zombies.

Always promises of activity and action but I don't see it. Mentors don't even regularly vote for MoTM which is one of their main tasks.

Is it time we give these up? I'm not a fan of having extra official groups that do nothing. I see no purpose in it.

What's your take on both these groups?

EDIT: I'm closing this thread, the recent changes Omni decided to make look better then what i was planning. He made a great choice with making everything have a slight opacity in combination with the background, font changes etc..
The result is an even more modern forum then my recommendation.

DISCLAIMER:
Now keep in mind, i'm not saying that it MUST be like the examples below only, heck took me like 30 seconds to make those changes, it aint perfect and can be done better, it are just examples of what contract changes can do.
I know that some like the purple bars and green logo cuz of nostalgia, but lets not forget, that new members dont share that same nostalgia, and we should focus on growth, so my recommendation is to go for a darker choice of colors, colorless logo, no colored bars, but give old members the option to still have those colored bars and logo if they really want that.

The UI itself is good and solid, there could be made some improvements here and there of course, as nothing is perfect however the colors really don't give a modern vibe, and i've made an example below on how you could use this great theme, and make it much more modern looking, just by changing some colors around.
The darker colors also give a more hack'ish vibe in my opinion.

2 members on here told me to change the background with a custom plugin, and that honestly made my experience better on HF however there are certain things that must be done and i hope the community and @Omniscient agrees.

Changes that would be amazing:

• Get rid of colored bars or give the option to change them.
  
• Change to a colorless logo, or give the option to choose a colorless logo.
  
• Make the forum UI more darker, period. (Yes i know it's dark, just not dark enough.)
  
• Custom backgrounds
  
• Get rid of the blurry userbars, that are made for 720p/1080p screens.
  

The result of that is for example this:
