World of Kink — Platform Update Summary

💬 New Chat System
Built a brand new Reddit-style split-panel chat that slides in from the right side of the screen
Left panel shows your conversation list, right panel shows the active chat
Real-time typing indicator — see three bouncing dots when someone is typing
Chat icon in the top header with unread message badge
Click "Message" on any profile to instantly open a chat with that person
Chat works on both the community feed and profile pages

🔍 Live Search
Type in the search bar and instantly see results for Communities and People
Shows group name and member count for communities
Shows avatar, username, age, gender, and location for people
Results appear in a dropdown as you type — no page reload needed

👤 Profile Page Redesign
Profiles now use the new dark Reddit-style layout with header and sidebar navigation
Profile image displayed at 225px on desktop, 160px on mobile
Action buttons (Message, Request Friendship, Follow, Block) stacked neatly on the right
About Me section styled clean with no borders — shows "Coming soon" if empty
Photos section shows full resolution images in a 5-column grid (3 rows, 15 photos max)
Friends section shows 5 per row — hover over a friend to see their details
Kinks displayed as compact dark pill-shaped tags instead of full-width rows
Groups displayed as clean cards side by side
Upload Image/Upload Video links only visible on your own profile
Level selector and Delete Account button hidden for cleaner look
Mobile responsive — layout stacks vertically on phones

📸 Exposed Page Improvements
5-column masonry layout — images fill gaps naturally with no empty spaces
100 images per batch — loads faster and shows more content
Labeled sections — pink pill badges show "1 - 100", "101 - 200", etc.
Each batch is its own section so loading more doesn't shuffle existing images
Images fade in smoothly after loading — no visible reflow
Scroll position saved — click an image, hit back, and you're right where you left off
Name and stats shown below each image
Gender filter tabs removed for cleaner look

🎬 Videos Page
Same masonry layout and section labels as the Exposed page
100 videos per batch with load-more working properly
Uses the Reddit-style card template for consistent look

More fixes to come.
