twitch streams update:

- reimplemented streams display with the new twitch Helix API and now functions again
- streams will now be displayed with a thumbnail as well as stream title

IMPORTANT: all you need to have your stream listed in the homepage is to have either "Median", "MXL" or "Sigma" (case insensitive, without quotes) in your stream title. Setting account in the forum profile is no longer needed.

twitch decided to be nice and dropped support for their previous api, one month later - a new inhouse app is finished from scratch which will supply both forums and discord.

Added a new chat widget at the bottom right of all forum pages, allowing forum users to view and participate in our discord server without having to create an account or install their app. The announcements channel is the default. Feedback is welcome!

Actual Discord shows the "Guests" with a "Bot" tag. I can definitely see the "Bot" tag being abused down the line.

feedback. thank you for this feature as someone who doesn't regularly use discord or like it this is much appreciated. seemingly small features like this may see nominal but feels like it's for "the people"/ "the players" and that you care for the community.

Added a flameing pussy on the corner, nice.

Just kidding, cool feature. Helps a lot those who aren't using discord.

Thanks Marco!

Could it be possible to add in the ability to purchase more Thumbs Ups with TG? Like maybe +1 Thumb Up for the day for 'x' TG?

And/Or the ability to highlight a post you like, similar to how Reddit does? Like you would use TG to purchase Awards? IDK if this forum software is even capable of such things, but there is no harm in asking, and I don't see it as anything but fun for the community, with the incentive of supporting MXL by increased donations.

I don't know if it's already implemented that way or if that's possible but here is my suggestion:

Could you make a small white 1 in a red bubble at the top right of the widget icon whenever something new is posted on the discord announcement channel in combination with a reset to the default announcement channel when there's a new discord announcement? Just a little notification so people can see immediately when there's something new and are directly pushed in the right channel when that's the case. If that's how it is already: Awesome :)
