Thanks for bringing this to our attention and having @Thunderheads’s back. His Jedi Knight status has been restored.
 

That feature has been added to each plate shoe page. That feature is an Easter egg no more.

That there is how things are supposed to work! Responsive, adaptable, and humble..... just like the partner each of us should want to be.

Nice work @JimKirk
