- The Magistream support email address has been reactivated. The support email, i.e. the email address that you get all the automatic MS emails from (support @-sign magistream.com) has been buried under piles and piles of dust and dustbins over the years.

A reminder that known bigger issues are listed in the Report Site Errors thread's first post. They are now also put approximately in order of which fixes will be worked on first.
- Investigating some issues with donation system
- Optimizing central parts of the site's code. Once this is done it should help make things load faster and also allow for using items, embedding multiple, and adding creatures to trades from other than the main tab.
