We have installed an addon that adds the ability to collapse/expand forum categories and widgets on forum home.
This should reduce the amount of scrolling if you don’t look at some of the forum categories. 🙂
All Civ avatars are brought back and available for selection in the Avatar Gallery on the forums!
In total there are 945 avatars available.
Note that this feature doesn’t support categories so all the avatars are sorted by file name.
