See some details for the new features below.
Profile and Activity Feed

Clubs and Looking for Group (LFG)

- When creating an LFG post, see all the recent tags you?ve used and easily select them.
- Club owners and admins will be identified and labeled in their text posts to better help them stand out and manage their community.
- Club owners and admins can pin a post at the top of their Club feed.
