Crowdstack Discussion❤️Hey everyone- Sometime next week, we'll be rolling out another major update for Crowdstack , this one focusing on improving navigation in the Admin Control Panel. Currently, the Admin Control Panel is one very long list of links. We're making things (hopefully) easier to get to by putting the main control panel sections in a smaller menu at the top of each control panel page, with the subsections of each main area available in a sidebar when you are in a particular section.

TipsI came across this article today that described an effect that one site uses to make their member avatars more distinctive looking: http://www.lottejackson.com/le...ild-cicada-principle If you like what they did there, here's some code for you to add to your own Crowdstack site that adds the "Cicada Effect" on your Members Directory and in widgets that displays grids of user avatars:
