I Rolled out the last major update to modernize, the legacy code, making it more user-friendly and future-proof.

I will be bug fixing the auctions , spell checking some things in dog, and then moving straight to inventory.

This was a backend update but some fixes got in:

- Random events improved. 1 check per day but with greatly increased occurrence.

- Raccoons now work, and will increase your chance to get random encounters.

- Easter, and other seasonal events now work, they will be enabled accordingly

- Polls no longer refresh the page

- Double bone specials work. and now can enable Triple Bone specials on special occasions.

- Widget Overhaul: Widgets such as in-game mail, shouts, and online counts are now "live," updating periodically to reflect actual values in real-time.

-All code has been 'cleaned up' site-wide now, now we can move to improvements and new features

- Foundation for Future Design: This update paves the way for modern website redesigns and features, which were previously impossible with the old structure.

Beauty shows now include a modernized interface, better performance, and are being prepared for community voting for winners as an option opposed to a single judge.

This was a fairly large and involved update, taking over a month to get the groundwork laid for this feature.

They also work now , after several years of on/off working
