TaperCommunity Update V2.2
March 5, 2026··
Big update just went live. Here's what's new:
Direct Messaging
You can now message other members privately. Click the envelope icon on anyone's profile to start a conversation. Full threaded inbox with unread counts, compose search, and real-time delivery.
Follow Threads
See a thread you want to keep tabs on? Hit the new "Follow" bookmark button on any thread. You'll get notified whenever someone posts a new reply. Threads you create are auto-followed so you never
miss a response.
Follow Forums
You can now follow specific forums too. A follow button appears next to each forum so you can curate which communities you're tracking.
@Mentions
Tag other members in your replies and thread posts using @mentions with autocomplete. Mentioned users get a notification linking them directly to the reply.
Notification Fixes
The notification bell was sometimes getting stuck on "Loading..." and never recovering. Fixed — notifications now reload reliably every time you open the panel, failed fetches show a retry button, and
real-time notifications display the correct author name and thread title instead of "Someone replied to """.
New Homepage
Updated hero banner and logo. Cleaner layout for both signed-in and signed-out users.
Other Improvements
- Error boundary so a single component crash doesn't take down the whole page
- Font size settings improvements
- Journal entry form updates
- Email notification runner for forum posts
- "Our Community" forum category with rules and staff forums
- Various bug fixes and stability improvements
If you ever get stuck on a page please just refresh
