  • Experimental feature: See pages that link to the page you're currently working on.
  • Experimental feature: Spell check (and the other experimental features) can now be turned on and off.

StoryLab bug fixes:

  • Updated site to be more clear about what games are on an external site
  • Updated tabs at the top of adventurecow.com to highlight store and learn when in the appropriate sections - If you go to a store/learning page (StoryLab, the DestinyQuest Infinite purchase page), the tab at the very top of the website should change.
