New Shacknews Cortex Logo
The brand new Shacknews Cortex logo.

Thanks to everyone who has tried out our latest addition to Shacknews Cortex. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions/issues we are seeing today:

  • Are profile pictures working?
    • Kinda?
    • We may have a caching issue with the pics showing up on feeds.
  • Why did we add Cortex and Chatty logos to the top of their pages?
    • It's important that we distinguish user-generated content from Shacknews front page content as our brand grows.
    • We want to view Cortex and Chatty as services provided by Shacknews, kinda like Shackpets.
  • It's hard to navigate back to Shacknews.com front page from Chatty now.
    • We have added a link to the Chatty header as a fix.

      Sup, Mamoo123! So I've been busy but do we now live in the kind of future with jetpacks? Like, is there a service I can go to to fly in a jetpack? This is a serious question.

      Appreciate the quick response to feedback on the new launch. Gotta think of some stuff to post on Cortex Shouts
