Haven't done one of these since July, so we're overdue. Unless otherwise mentioned, most of these issues and features were reported or requested by Engledogg, our fearless lead moderator.  Recent updates:


- fixed the SSO log in options (Facebook, Twitter, etc)
- fixed broken /faction_guide page
- fixed broken "print page" functionality in the forums
- plugged hole that allowed faulty front end code to assign non-existent photos to photo fields on sku and part records (reported by KidTDragon)
- fixed issue where secondary photos assigned to part records weren't sticking (if you made any such changes in recent memory, might want to resubmit them)
- fixed issue where submitted part-form data on part records wasn't sticking
- fixed various issues around the "TODAY" link in the collection UI
- added the ability to easily clear the "date bought" field both on mobile and web
- slightly tweaked the formatting of the "portlet" header on the main page (don't know why I put that off for so many years)
- upgraded us to new version of material-ui. Doesn't seem to have much of a major visible effect, but the date picker is a bit beefier, now
- fixed broken wishlist functionality
- restored ability to download wishlist (reported by Bjallen2880, thank you)
- fixed the "parts I'm missing" functionality on download collection feature (Bjallen2880 again, thank you). Also improved formatting a bit.
- fixed issues around submitting a blank "name" when editing a mold category node (reported by KidTDragon)
- upgraded us to new version of ActiveRecord (an OSS project I maintain, and the source of many of these other problems, including the wish list fiasco. I won't list all of the fixes related to that here, but big thanks to Engledogg and KidTDragon for patiently reporting everything that went kerflooey)
- fixed off-by-one issues in date picker (reported by Phantom Dusclops, thank you)
- fixed the "releases" link on the product details page
- fixed bugs and improved formatting around the submission confirmation emails
- fixed issues around approving/rejecting individual submissions in the review flow
- added a "Product not found" message to the product details page when an invalid product id is passed in
- fixed issues around SEO; essentially, we had fallen completely off the map, and google didn't know we existed
- fixed ability to upload custom avatars
- added some alert messaging when you try to upload a photo that is too large
- fixed a few part fields that were erroneously marked as "required" (reported by KidTDragon)
- fixed a few issues around mold picking/validation in the UI
- migrated collection date bought database column from a DATETIME to a DATE in an attempt to reduce confusion around timezones (took some doing, but I think we nailed it)
- increased max year on date picker by 1 year

And some other miscellaneous stuff that either isn't interesting enough to mention, or I don't remember.

I also wanted to mention that as of this writing, we are officially out of open bugs on shmax.com! I think this may literally be the first time we've ever managed to pull that off, so if you want to pause long enough to run around in circles in the street naked for a few minutes, that's what I'll be doing.

Thanks again to Engledogg and KidTDragon and the rest of you for reporting all this stuff like champs.
