Module of the Week
with Martin Anderson-Clutz - @mandclu
Flag
Flag is a flexible flagging system that is completely customizable by the administrator. Using this module, the site administrator can provide any number of flags for nodes, comments, users, and any other type of entity. Some possibilities include bFlagookmarks, marking important, friends, or flag as offensive. With extensive views integration, you can create custom lists of popular content or keep tabs on important content.
Flags may be per-user, meaning that each user can mark an item individually, or global, meaning that the item is either marked or it is not marked, and any user who changes that changes it for everyone.
In this way, additional flags (similar to published and sticky) can be put on nodes, or other items, and dealt with by the system however the administration likes.

Minifigure of the Week
by Nic Laflin
71039-9
This week I would like to share 71039-9 Echo! This is the 9th minifigure in the second Marvel series of collectible minifigures. Released in 2023, Echo’s superpower is the ability to duplicate anything she sees which makes her an extremely talented dancer, boxer, and pianist.
