Eyo, my lovely people. It's gonna be may! If you know, you know, and you're welcome to now have that song on repeat in your head. If you don't know, no worries, it's an age thing. Either way, welcome to our first tech blog of May! Every two weeks, the Technical Updates blog takes you through a selection of user-facing bugs that got fixed, potential experiments that are running, or things that changed on the platform. Other than (hopefully) serving as a source of information to you, you can also use the comment section to ask questions, give constructive feedback, and report any bugs you may have encountered.

- Part of the continued effort to clean up the user-experience, the UXFCP team is working to remove the in-line newsletter signup module on FandomMobile as it's just taking up unnecessary space that we want to give back.
- The UXFCP team is working on making sure the bold text will be properly distinguishable again from normal text on FandomMobile.
- To help with accessibility, the site notice title will be reclassified from an H1 to an H2; this will help screenreaders to properly navigate the page.

- [Product Release] Registration form redesign: This has been in the works for a while (check the experiment details about the different potential redesigns). The idea was simple, we wanted to update the user interface to make it more engaging and user-friendly for account creation. This update covers both the desktop and the mobile pages, as well as the registration and sign-in forms.
