Allow regular (non-admin) users access to the Manage Forums page so they can
create and manage their own forums.
Things that were already working:
* The admin forum page was already anticipating regular LoginRequired credential
* Users only see their owned forums, while admins can see and manage ALL forums
Improvements made to the Forum Admin page:
* Change the title color from admin-red to user-blue.
* Add ability to search (filter) and sort the forums.
Other changes:
* Turn the Forum tab bar into a reusable component.
* Add a world cities database with type-ahead search on the Member Directory.
* Users can search for a known city to order users by distance from that city
rather than from their own configured location on their settings page.
* Users must opt-in their own location before this feature may be used, in order
to increase adoption of the location feature and to enforce fairness.
* The `nonshy setup locations` command can import the world cities database.
* Add support for Web Push Notifications when users receive a new Message or
Friend Request on the main website.
* Users opt in or out of this on their Notification Settings. They can also
individually opt out of Message and Friend Request push notifications.
* Remove the ability for regular (non-admin) users to search the Member
Directory for non-certified profiles.
* Profiles who don't certify can be a risk to contact, as the likelihood
of fake pictures and scams/spam is much higher.
The pager widget will now show a dropdown menu of overflow pages in the
middle. This allows easy access to the First and Last pages and an
ability to select from any of the middle pages to jump to quickly.
The nonshy website is changing the policy on profile pictures. From August 30,
the square cropped avatar images will need to be publicly viewable to everyone.
This implements the first pass of the rollout:
* Add the Public Avatar Consent Page which explains the change to users and
asks for their acknowledgement. The link is available from their User Settings
page, near their Certification Photo link.
* When users (with non-public avatars) accept the change: their square cropped
avatar will become visible to everybody, instead of showing a placeholder
avatar.
* Users can change their mind and opt back out, which will again show the
placeholder avatar.
* The Certification Required middleware will automatically enforce the consent
page once the scheduled go-live date arrives.
Next steps are:
1. Post an announcement on the forum about the upcoming change and link users
to the consent form if they want to check it out early.
2. Update the nonshy site to add banners to places like the User Dashboard for
users who will be affected by the change, to link them to the forum post
and the consent page.
Always filter for certified members unless the user specifically
searches for non-certified or "all users".
Admin searches for banned/disabled also search all users.
* Inner circle: users have the ability to remove themselves and can avoid being
invited again in the future.
* Admin actions: add a "Reset Password" ability to user accounts.
* Admin "Create New User" page.
* Rate limit error handling improvements for the login page.
