Version 1.8: Auth Restored & UI Polish

What's New in Version 1.8

I'm happy to announce that the planned authentication system maintenance is complete. All systems are back to full operational status.

• Authentication System Restored: All interactive user features, including login, registration, commenting, and reacting to content, have been re-enabled. Thank you for your patience during the downtime.
• Polished Admin Navigation: The header navigation in the admin dashboard has been redesigned to be more compact and intuitive. Inactive links now show as icons, and the active page link expands to show the full label, creating a cleaner and more focused workspace.
• User Dashboard UI Refinements: I've performed a review of the user dashboard sections, standardizing layouts and improving component consistency for a more polished and predictable user experience.
• Bug Fix: A layout issue with the old, unused admin sidebar component has been resolved by removing it completely, preventing any potential conflicts with the new header navigation.
