Site and Group Features
Case Groups
Each case has its own dedicated group where discussions, research, timelines, and theories can stay organized instead of being scattered across comment threads.
Members can also request new case groups if there is a case you would like to see added.
Structured Posts
Posts support a wide range of content, allowing deeper and more organized discussion than traditional comment threads.
You can include:
• videos
• photos and galleries
• file uploads and documents
• polls
• links and media embeds
• Instagram, TikTok, and X posts
• HTML embeds
• buttons and expandable sections for organizing long posts
Posts can also be edited and updated over time, making it possible to maintain timelines, evidence lists, and ongoing research posts.
Topic Tags
Posts are organized using topic tags, helping discussions stay searchable and easy to navigate as the community grows.
Follow Posts
Members can follow specific posts and receive notifications when new activity or updates are added.
Files & Media
Groups support dedicated areas for shared media and uploaded files, making it easier to keep documents, images, and evidence organized in one place.
Profiles & Participation

• a display name (anonymous names are welcome)
• profile header images

Badges can also be earned through participation and community activity.

Looking Ahead
