You can now select up to seven favorite projects for the Community Menu

(adapting for News and Updates from this feature request post)

We’ve made some updates to the projects section of the Community menu on the website. Previous it showed some recently active projects, but the functionality was broken and the list of projects wasn’t really useful.

Now, if you open the Community Menu you’ll see up to 7 projects automatically displayed there, based mostly on whether you admin them and when they were last updated. It should be an improvement over the previous broken implementation.

But, you should also see a “Customize” option below it.

Click on that and you’ll go to the Content & Display section of your Account Setttings, where you can choose up to seven projects to be shown in that menu instead.

If you search for a project and select it, it will appear on the list. You can drag and drop to reorder them, and click on Remove to remove the project from the list. Click on the blue arrow to open the project in a new tab.

Each change is saved automatically, but you need to refresh your page to see the changes reflected in the Community menu.

Let us know if you find any bugs by making a topic in Bug Reports.

This update means I can stay in the CNC projects - till I am ready to leave them. The IDs are still moving in chunks as various taxon specialists get to them.
Thank you!
