Luminaire Tree Refresh!
The tree builder has been completely rebuilt for Kumos! This isn't just a port, it's a ground-up rebuild that removes a decade of javascript dependencies (no more "clear your cache" nonsense) and finally makes building a tree on mobile actually work.
If you had a tree on the legacy site, don't worry. It's already here waiting for you. The legacy site has been updated to point to the new image generation, which is significantly faster and properly cached.
This is part of a bigger push to make Kumos feel more like home. Check out the full changelog for all the improvements we've made to themes, hovers, performance, and more.
What's New & Where to Find It
🎄 Tree Builder
Drag and drop ornaments onto your tree, now with proper mobile support. Instructions are on the page, but it should be pretty intuitive. Build something beautiful, or build something chaotic. I'm not here to judge.
✨ All Ornaments
Browse every ornament on the site, see which ones you've collected, and search for specific ones. If an ornament is in your vault, that'll show up here too.
🎁 Tree Gallery
Set your tree to public and it'll appear in the gallery, plus show up in your user hover across Kumos.
This is where the ✨ new gifting magic ✨ happens. You can browse public trees with a bunch of filter options, including one that surfaces trees that haven't received many gifts yet (perfect for spreading some Luminaire cheer to folks who might otherwise get overlooked). Click into someone's tree and you'll see which items from their wishlist you already own. No hunting through wishlists, no opening a million tabs. Just "oh hey, I have that" and click to send it.
⭐ Wishlist Matching (Gold Account)
There's a tab in the gallery that searches across all public tree wishlists, matches them against your inventory, and suggests who you could donate to. This is Gold Account only because it's a pretty intensive query to run. I'm going to keep an eye on it!
📜 Gifts Given
Moved to live alongside the rest of the tree features. Now takes advantage of Kumos caching, so it actually loads properly. If there is anything else you'd like added to this page, let me know in the comments!
Happy decorating! 🎄

Those new features are lovely! Stupid question: how do I mass add ornaments from inventory? The link to legacy feature opens the news page.
Absolutely loving the new tree builder, thank you! I gave up before and made a hot mess. XD
The tree gallery feature and wishlist searching makes me so happy! I absolutely ADORE being able to do random gift giving for luminere, and I hope others use this to be as generous to strangers! This is a wonderful idea!
I don't know if it's just me, but over on the legacy site the news post has paragraphs and headings, while over here it's one block of text...
i absolutely love this update! having a big gallery of user's trees is such a sweet way to send strangers some lumi love <3 not even mentioning how much the ornament search and list is a lifesaver for decorating!

I love the search feature for the ornaments! I also really like that they're organized by the type/style of ornament. But I still wish we could change the order the same way we can change layers in the wardrobe. If I want to move an ornament to the back when I have several under it, it's a pain having to click the arrow a bunch of times. That's always been one of my main issues with the trees before. And I wish newly added ornaments would go to the top of the list like they used to, instead of the bottom.
Also whenever I try to add a tree skirt, they all just end up being invisible.

Thank you! I could not decorate my tree on mobile. I had to borrow my son's computer to do it. Also his tree wouldn't load, but clearing the cache worked.
Kumos is a bit intimidating and confusing to me. If there's a reason for the change, can someone point me to it. I was MIA for 10 years. 🫣

Made some improvements to the wishlist matches page (GA only for now!) that should make it work... a lot more of the time 😓
OK, playing around with the wishlist matching and really loving it! Is there a way to make it search only your vault and not your wardrobe?
@Keith
this is so amazing and makes me soo excited about gifting. a couple suggestions:
this is so amazing and makes me soo excited about gifting. a couple suggestions:
- the wishlist filter should have a friends tab, or there should be a 'friend trees' tab!
- the WL category should probably be shown along the item- IK a lot of people have CW owned lists, or 'reference, ignore' categories, so could help avoid gifting items from those lists!
Love the idea of wishlist matching. I gave it a go but it kept erroring out. Will check back later :)
this is the COOLEST update we've had in a while, I feel!! this rocks, Keith!! thank you so much for the tree upgrade!! I can't wait to start going through and gifting~

Sorry 🙈 Everyone clicking the link at once and checking out the gallery is really fun, but made the servers a little overloaded. Working on it!
Fun that this still happens twenty years later :(

Cool but..I am getting a lot of the 'Oops, something went wrong' message but since this was just implemented I can understand there are snags so I will wait until tomorrow to decorate my tree more.

@Laurey You're totally right! Today I moved the `/explore` page over on Kumos, so now links that have been migrated there show their correct version (including the mysterious melody + advent calendar!). I'm going to get better about making sure that there are links places -- and there are a lot more in the navigation now too!
I get 'oops something went wrong' after every thing I do to the tree however I think it's working anyway? Love the wishlist matching feature and look forward to playing with that :D
Yea it's working for me now It is sweet alot easier to gift I'm going thru to find my friends
These features are all really cool, but there needs to be a better way to navigate to all of these new features on Kumos instead of having to come back to the news posts to find links. Not even just this but pretty much everything that's been migrated to Kumos is not very intuitive to find, unless I'm just super blind. Melody, fishing that was moved a while ago. Unless you have the direct link already, it's not clear where to find things.

Thank you! It's working much better now. I'm still frustrated though.It's hard to place ornaments. I'll get used to it. I might even try to decorate my tree tomorrow. Right now, I'm getting this error non stop

Wishlist Matching I can't get it to load guess its not for mobile :( it's probably sweet tho
small thing: the link to a tree owner's profile goes to /user/ instead of /users/, and redirects to the "file not found" url of subeta.net/user/news.php
