Since early this year, we've been working on a project to drastically overhaul and improve our website and community by upgrading it to the latest version of the community software that we use, as well as building an all new look and feel and developing enhanced functionality and features.  Despite serving us well over the years, our website had become a little dated and disorganized, and bringing about profound changes is something we've wanted to do for a while.
 
Today, we're pleased to welcome you to the new LCPDFR.com, the culmination of our work on this project, which not only features a ton of improvements, enhancements and changes across the board in Invision Community 4.5, but also introduces a brand new, custom-built by us theme.
 
Our new theme, LSPDFR Retina and its sister theme, LSPDFR Dark (Beta), are fresh, content-centric looks fit for a modern website in 2020.  We've worked hard to prioritize content across the board with a far greater emphasis on images and our members.  Aside from this, our new theme features a far brighter user interface with better contrast and more saturation than before which blends in to a simpler overall style. 
 
Please note that the darker variation of our theme is still in beta, is currently only available to registered members, and there are some elements and colors which are yet to be fully configured.
 
Additionally, there are a number of other changes to the way in which the community works.  @Cyan describes these in full in our LSPDFR on IPS 4.5 Changelog, but here's a summary of the most important changes:
 
Ignore Lists & Blocking
A new opt-in system designed to give creators additional control over their content.  Our enhanced blocking system prevents ignored users from being able to comment on and review both gallery images and files.  This feature can be enabled in your Account Settings.
 
Submission Ratings
Files uploaded by members are now automatically screened according to the member's standing within the community, with certain submissions now eligible for automatic approvals.  You can view your own rating in your Creator Settings.
 
Disable Comments
It's now possible for creators to disable comments when they first upload a new file.  Please do note that files with comments turned off may not be featured as prominently throughout the community.
 
LSPDFR Character Cover Photos
You can now add a cover photo to the profile pages of your LSPDFR Characters, check out an example by @LMS here: https://www.lcpdfr.com/lspdfrsync/character/140-kim-orange/
 
We think that our new website is a giant leap forward for us, and very much hope that you'll enjoy the new LCPDFR.com as much as we have making and designing it for you.
 
Of course, we're very open to feedback regarding both the new features on the website and our new design, and welcome you to share your thoughts or comments with us below.
 
Thanks for reading, and welcome to the new LCPDFR.com!
