I have tweaked the website menu to be slightly more usable if you're using a browser on a mobile device to view it.

The desktop experience should not have changed in any way.

If you experience any issues please let me know with the command:

I have also reset the lockouts for all players for these quests to let those of you who were already affected start these quests.

For creators: I have updated the bug statistics graphs page so it works once again.

For players: I have made the creator bug graphs available to everyone so the curious can now see how many bugs we fix, how many bug reports players make and more! Check out the Bug graphs link in the Creating menu to load it up.

Enjoy,
