How News Tabs Work
Each tab you create is linked to a Forum Category. The homepage will automatically display the 2 most recent topics from that category. Players see the full content preview and can click Read more to open the full topic in the forum. The tab icons are automatically assigned based on the tab title:- Titles containing “event” → Calendar icon
- Titles containing “shop”, “store”, or “item” → Shopping cart icon
- Titles containing “log”, “update”, “patch”, or “change” → Clipboard icon
- Titles containing “preview” or “media” → Image icon
- All others → Newspaper icon
