Importing to deviantART muro from Sta.sh
Change Log
- The Forum sidebar would display closed threads. Fixed by kemayo

Your Feedback
- Feedback regarding the Forum sidebar was generally positive.
- In addition to the Forum sidebar, pushyreeder suggested a view counter and tagging options for Forum threads.
- Deviants were positive regarding giving gifts. Some deviants mentioned that it would be helpful if a person's Wishlist automatically included their Print or clothing size preferences.
- It would be helpful for the "Give Points" modal to display how many Points you currently have. Suggested by Kira-Ani-McGrath
