v9.0 — Profile Header Refresh
We redesigned Locticians member profiles to make them cleaner and more professional:

Impact: Easier booking, clearer trust signals, and a polished professional profile experience.
v2.5+ — SafeCheck for External Links
Your safety comes first. Any time you click a link that takes you off Locticians:

- Shows whether it’s Safe, Unsafe, or Unknown.
- Auto-redirects in a few seconds, opening in a new tab.

Impact: Safer browsing when visiting external websites from Locticians.

- A centered age verification modal with clear Yes/No options.
- Redirect to CrownThrive.com if underage or denied.
- 30-day cookie so you aren’t asked again.
