invited again in the future.

* Admin "Create New User" page.
* Rate limit error handling improvements for the login page.
* Add an Admin Certification Photo workflow where we can request the user to
upload a secondary form of ID (government issued photo ID showing their
face and date of birth).
* An admin rejection option can request secondary photo ID.
* It sends a distinct e-mail to the user apart from the regular rejection email
* It flags their cert photo as "Secondary Needed" forever: even if the user
removes their cert photo and starts from scratch, it will immediately request
secondary ID when uploading a new primary photo.
* Secondary photos are deleted from the server on both Approve and Reject by
the admin account, for user privacy.
* If approved, a Secondary Approved=true boolean is stored in the database. This
boolean is set to False if the user deletes their cert photo in the future.
* Add a transparency page where regular user accounts can list the roles and
permissions that an admin user has access to. It is available by clicking on
the "Admin" badge on that user's profile page.
* Add additional admin scopes to lock down more functionality:
* User feedback and reports
* Change logs
* User notes and admin notes

those notifications.
* Update the admin dashboard page and documentation for admins.

of an object in the database:
* User profile page ('about user' and user table history links)
* User friends page
* User/Site gallery page (history of all (user) photos)
* Admin insights page (comments, threads, and blocklist history)
* Admin certification page (history of a user's cert photos)
* Comment history buttons on forums and photos
* On the "Certification Required" error page: show help text under the
checklist to make it clear that clicking the checklist item will link
to the profile photo or cert photo upload page.
* Add more helpful text around the site to address common confusion:
* On the Photo Upload page for profile_pic and the user is already at
quota: add special text saying they can use an existing gallery
photo as their profile pic instead.
* On the self Gallery view page: if the user has no profile pic
currently set, offer advice and links on how to set one.
* Fix the image max-width on Gallery lightbox modals
* Add an Alt Text field for users to describe their photos for accessibility.
* Alt texts appear on mouse over on Gallery pages, in the lightbox modal (on
mouse over or by clicking the ALT button that appears), and in a box on the
permalink page below the photo caption.
* Max length of Alt Text is 5,000 characters.
* Fix a bug with the right-click blocker not working on the lightbox modal.
Users whose accounts are no longer eligible to be in the chat room will be
disconnected immediately from chat when their account status changes.
The places in nonshy where these disconnects may happen include:
* When the user deactivates or deletes their account.
* When they modify their settings to mark their profile as 'private,' making
them become a Shy Account.
* When they edit or delete their photos in case they have moved their final
public photo to be private, making them become a Shy Account.
* When the user deletes their certification photo, or uploads a new cert photo
to be reviewed (in both cases, losing account certified status).
* When an admin user rejects their certification photo, even retroactively.
* On admin actions against a user, including: banning them, deleting their
user account.
Other changes made include:
* When signing up an account and e-mail sending is not enabled (e.g. local
dev environment), the SignupToken is still created and logged to the console
so you can continue the signup manually.
* On the new account DOB prompt, add a link to manually input their birthdate
as text similar to on the Age Gate page.
* Add a ChangeLog table to collect historic updates to various database tables.
* Created, Updated (with field diffs) and Deleted actions are logged, as well
as certification photo approves/denies.
* Specific items added to the change log:
* When a user photo is marked Explicit by an admin
* When users block/unblock each other
* When photo comments are posted, edited, and deleted
* When forums are created, edited, and deleted
* When forum comments are created, edited and deleted
* When a new forum thread is created
* When a user uploads or removes their own certification photo
* When an admin approves or rejects a certification photo
* When a user uploads, modifies or deletes their gallery photos
* When a friend request is sent
* When a friend request is accepted, ignored, or rejected
* When a friendship is removed
* On a user gallery page: if the current user can not see their default
profile pic (friends-only or private), include a notice and link to
the FAQ about this.
* Add a new placeholder avatar for profile pics that are set to
"Inner circle only" when viewed by members outside the circle.
* Add a Search page to the forums to filter by user ID and find threads and
replies matching your search terms, with "quoted phrases" and -negation
support.
* On user profile pages, add an "Activity" box showing statistics on their
forum threads/comments, likes given/received, photo counts, etc.
* On the "Newest" and Search page for Forums: show an indicator whenever a
post includes an attached photo.
* Add endpoint /go/comment?id= that finds the right page that a comment
can be seen on for the current user and redirects there.
* Resolves issues with link discrepancies in comment notifications, if
the recipient sees different page numbers depending on blocklist
status.
* Supports copyable permalinks to any comment on the site reliably.
* Add a way for users to temporarily deactivate their accounts, in a
recoverable way should they decide to return later.
* A deactivated account may log in but have limited options: to
reactivate their account, permanently delete it, or log out.
* Fix several bugs around the display of comments, messages and
forum threads for disabled, banned, or blocked users:
* Messages (inbox and sentbox) will be hidden and the unread indicator
will not count unread messages the user can't access.
* Comments on photos and forum posts are hidden, and top-level threads
on the "Newest" tab will show "[unavailable]" for their text and
username.
* Your historical notifications will hide users who are blocked, banned
or disabled.
* Add a "Friends" tab to user profile pages, to see other users' friends.
* The page is Certification Required so non-cert users can't easily
discover any members on the site.
New feature: User Notes
* Add a "Notes" tab to user profile pages and galleries.
* Users can create one private note about another user.
* Admins can see all notes left about a user.
* Admins also see Feedback & Reports regarding the user on that page.
Bring back the online chatters list
* The Usernames are filtered down based on blocklist status.
