color-coded scoreboards, and other lost features

@spmm mentioned in vet chat that the in-game scoreboards used to be color-coded.

On the current Windows devprev release, I see my name and my group's name in white. Other players and groups are shown in yellow. Lower down on the scoreboards, groups and players appear in gray. (My best guess on these colors….)

Does anyone remember how the scoreboard coloring used to work? spmm implied that active players were shown in white.

Along those lines, anything anyone is particularly missing, from either the original interface, or the more recent version of Foldit before the new website launched?

Here's what the scoreboards look like in 20221011-0997a7c8e6-win_x64-devprev:

There are other things missing, like the description and mission of a group. On what information shall a new player decide which groups fits for him/her?

Also the possibility to vote up/down on entry in the forums got lost.
