Universal Gaming Cards | Catalogue Additions
Some new cards have been added to the catalogue of Universal Gaming Cards. These cards are all requests from the 1st Place winners of our Summer Meltdown and Halloween Birthday Bash events that I may or may not have taken two years to get around to.

Here are the new card additions:

• Kirby 
  
• Phogs
  
• Star Fox
  
• Yoshi
  

These cards can be seen on our Cards page, for anyone curious about the designs.

Also, remember that you can choose what cards display on your profile via the Awards tab in your User CP: https://universalgaming.net/usercp.php?action=awards
By default, your profile will always show your three most recent cards first. Visiting the aforementioned page will let you re-organize your cards and/or select which ones are active for the three that display in your profile.

I also intend to replace the Destiny, Rocket League, and The Walking Dead cards in the near future with different games. I will be considering any of the suggestions that were given in this thread, which is still open for further suggestions should anyone have any.

Yay for the new cards finally! They're so good, too. Great job!

Steam Store Page Embeds BBCode Added
Will it have much use? No idea, but I randomly got the urge to see if this could be done and it can, so I did. The embed URL provided on a games store page on Steam can now be placed between the following tags to enable the embed to actually function:

Code:

[steam]EMBED URL HERE (e.g. https://store.steampowered.com/widget/250900/ )[/steam]

Recent Downtime/Loading Issues
I'm sure most of you who have tried using the forum over the last day or two have probably encountered issues loading the forum. I initially thought it was our host doing maintenance but after reaching out to them just now it was apparently being caused by a bot visiting the forum more than 10,000 times.

Some changes were made to hopefully bring that number down which in turn should hopefully stop this issue. Otherwise I'll be banging on our hosts door in the morning like Fred Flintstone.

As an update to this, the bot in question decided it was going to ignore the changes I had made to make it calm down, so if you were still having issues after the previous update this is likely why. I've outright blocked that bot from the server at this point so hopefully this is the last I have to deal with this.
