[HUB] Update: Notifications, Tags, Favorite posts

Hey everyone, another major patch for our community hub has arrived.

Firstly, we moved from hub.coigame.com to just coigame.com for more simplicity. We aim to merge the main website and hub together.

🔔 Notifications. We have added a notification system so you actually know when something happens that involves you. The bell up top lights up when someone replies to a topic you have subscribed to, quotes one of your posts, starts a new topic in a board you follow, or when a mod or blueprint or map you have favorited gets a new version (or when a mod you have favorited posts a new announcement). Bursts of activity on the same target merge into a single row, so a popular topic does not flood your bell with twenty entries.

📬 Subscribe to what you care about. You can now follow individual topics (to get notified about new replies) or whole boards (to get notified about new topics). When you start a topic yourself you are auto-subscribed, and getting quoted also auto-notifies you. The bell button on a topic or board page toggles your subscription any time.

🏷️ Tags for topics. Board owners can define a set of tags for their board, with optional emojis. Bug, Feature Request, Resolved, Won't Fix, whatever fits. Tags marked "closes topic" double as a workflow state: applying one locks replies and hides the topic from the default view, so a "Resolved" tag is a real close, not just a label. You can filter the topic list by tag (include some, exclude others) and switch between Open, Closed, and All views.

Favorite forum posts. Hit the star on any post to bookmark it. Your favorites live on a dedicated Favorites page with breadcrumbs back to the topic and board, so you can always find that one bit of advice or that one nice screenshot weeks later.

👀 Unread tracking. Topics with new activity since your last visit are highlighted, and board listings roll up unread state so you can spot from across the page which boards have something new. "Mark all topics read" on the forum index resets everything; each board has its own button for narrower cleanups.

Also some notable fixes

  • Fix that a mod owner could not move topics between different mod forums even when owning both forums

We hope this makes the forum feel like a place you can actually keep up with, not just somewhere you check occasionally. As always, bug reports and suggestions go a long way.
