Your Builds, Your Parts: Introducing the Mods List
Every ride page now has a The Mods tab showing everything on the car, organized by category. The best way to add parts is straight from your build logs. Parts added there will include a direct link back to that build so visitors can read the full story behind them. Parts added through a series will appear across every page automatically.
You can also add parts directly from your ride page, though these won't have a build link attached.
Link your build pages into a series!

Enhanced User Mentions in Comments
We've enhanced the comment section with improved user mentioning functionality. The user experience has been streamlined for easier use across all devices. On mobile, simply tap the @ button and type the username you'd like to mention in your comment.
Image uploading improvements
You asked, and we took action on improving the image uploading process on the user rides and build pages, by implementing these new features.
- Drag/drop: You can now select images from multiple folders and you will see a preview of the images that will be uploaded. You can also remove images from the queue.
- Progress bar: You will see a progress of the uploading. So no more wondering if it's working or not!
Comments improvements
Based on your feedback, we've made some improvements to the comments feature. You can now reply directly to another user in comments (currently only on main ride pages, build pages coming soon).
This allows you to have more unique conversations with each user instead of previous global commenting system
Build post order and Pinning!
Small update to the user ride page, the build order is now by date and TIME. This small change was done because users were finding that if they submitted multiple builds on the same day, the builds might not quite show in the order they intended.
PinningTo go along with the above,you now have the option to pin builds to the top of your ride page. Think of these as builds that you always want users to see and not get buried toward the bottom of your builds list. You can set as many pins as you would like. Pins are sorted by date/time
