Update v89.4: The Community Hub & Global Timezones

Welcome to Clockface Online v88.8! This update is all about bringing our users together and giving you deeper control over your clock's mechanics. We've launched a brand new live feed, introduced a powerful global timezone engine, and completely streamlined the customization drawer to make designing your perfect setup easier than ever.

🚀 What's New

  • The Community Hub: Jump into the Toolbox to access the new live feed! See exactly how many people are focusing right now, view the top active countries, and send preset shouts and emojis to the room to cheer each other on.
  • Global Timezone Engine: You are no longer locked to your device's local time. We’ve added a smart, searchable dropdown in the settings menu that tracks over 400 global timezones and automatically handles daylight saving time.
  • Interactive Profiles: Avatars inside the Community Hub and Gallery are now fully clickable. Tap a user to instantly view their profile, check out their stats, and browse their published themes.

✨ Improvements & Polish

  • Smarter Customisation Drawer: We’ve completely reorganized the settings menu so it flows naturally from Macro to Micro (Themes ➔ Backgrounds ➔ Time & Date ➔ Text & Style).
  • Adaptive Settings UI: The menu is now "smart." If you hide the date or switch to an Analogue clock face, the irrelevant settings (like 12/24hr format) will gracefully dim out so your menu stays beautifully clean.
  • Sleek Search Bars: We replaced clunky native dropdowns with smooth, searchable, auto-filtering menus for the new Timezone selector.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Timezone Math: Completely rebuilt the time-ago engine to bridge the gap between UTC and Local server time. Timestamps on shouts and user profiles are now perfectly synced, eliminating the pesky "Just now" and "1 hour ago" bugs.
  • Full Emoji Support: Upgraded the database connection architecture to strictly support full-color 4-byte emojis. No more ???? on your shouts!
  • Profile Saving: Bulletproofed the "Edit Profile" logic so updating passwords and usernames is faster and completely error-free.
