The MFGG mainsite is finally running PHP 7.4! I know PHP 7.4 still isn't the latest and greatest PHP, but it's progress. It sure is a step up from PHP 5.6, which we had been using.

So what does this mean for you? Well, it should mean you enjoy better performance - PHP 7.x offers some substantial performance improvements over PHP 5.x. PHP 7 is more secure as well. Plus, it'll be easier for us to develop new stuff for MFGG when we're running on more modern infrastructure.

While PHP upgrades aren't terribly exciting, they help ensure that MFGG can remain healthy and happy for many years to come. (The farther you fall behind with upgrading infrastructure, the harder it is to catch up.)

Upgrading PHP required code changes in a lot of different components. That means we might run into a few bugs along the way. If you find any error messages or unexpected behavior, please shoot me a PM. Or, better yet, make a ticket in the Suggestions forum so we can track it to completion.

MFGG for All

We want MFGG to be a fun and welcoming place for everyone. One very tangible way to achieve that goal is to make sure our site is as accessible as possible.

Unfortunately, MFGG's mainsite has sometimes come up short in that department. Much of our code dates back to an era when Web accessibility standards were in their infancy.

That's why I went in and made MFGG's mainsite a lot more accessible! I ran an accessibility scan on every page that might be generated on MFGG, and then I went into the code and fixed every accessibility defect I found. All this should make for a better user experience, especially if you ever use assistive technology such as screen readers.

Even if you don't have a disability, better accessibility can make life easier if you ever navigate Web sites with just a keyboard or something. Accessibility fixes can also help with SEO, for what that's worth.

Accessibility is both an art and a science. While I was thorough in testing my changes, it's certainly possible that some form field doesn't work in an optimal way. If you see something that needs improving, please feel free to speak up - that's how we make MFGG a better place.

Bluesky has started to become a fairly popular social network, so I've added a Bluesky profile field! If you're on Bluesky, now you can make it easier for people to find you and see whatever cool stuff you're doing there.

Also, I made a little fix to the YouTube link on user profiles so it can now direct you to a working YouTube page when you click on it.
