This allows users who entered a typo or invalid email address when
signing up an opportunity to fix it and resending the confirmation
email to that address.
* Email and username are both allowed to be used for logging in.
Therefore, it is easier to just store the user's id rather than
to store the username and email in the session.
Revamped system for managing authentication tokens.
- Every user has 1 token per client (web browser)
- Tokens are rotated every 10 minutes
New system migrates the old tokens to "legacy" tokens,
so users still remain logged on.
Also introduces weekly job to expire old auth tokens.
- Regular users are not notified of whispers
- Regular users no longer have "stuck" topics in unread
- Additional tracking for staff highest post number
- Remove a bunch of unused columns in topics table
Adds a "Step 0" to the wizard if the site has no admin accounts where
the user is prompted to finish setting up their admin account from the
list of acceptable email addresses.
Once confirmed, the wizard begins.
- present tags watched on the user prefs page
- automatically watch or unwatch old topics based on watch status
New watching and tracking logic takes care of handling old topics
(either with or without read state)
When you watch a topic you now watch historically
Also removes confusing warnings from user.
Re-organise user page so it is easier to find interesting info
split it into tabs
- Introduce notifications and messages tabs
- Stop couting stuff for the user page to speed up rendering
- Suppress more information when viewing your own profile
If you allow a group to be mentioned it can be mentioned with the @ symbol.
Keep in mind as a safety mechanism max_users_notified_per_group_mention is set to 100
