Need Old UI Screenshots

I'm missing a lot of visual references from the old Discord UI for my theme. Stuff like:

Pinned messages
Inbox / Mentions
Server settings
Notification dropdowns
User popouts / profiles
Member list or role popups

I don’t have many screenshots of those, and memory does NOT serve me well. If you have anything, screenshots, clips, whatever—post them on this server. Even rough ones help a lot.

❗ Disclaimer

2021OldCord is a fork of the original OldCord theme. With Discord rolling out a brand new UI, the old OldCord layout started to feel a bit outdated — so I decided to give it a refresh.

I'm very much an amateur — not a CSS expert — and this is all built through trial, error, and lots of tweaking. This is not going to be a long term project, I'm only doing this for myself for now and sharing it. The theme will break with subsequent discord updates, I do not know if I'll have the motivation or will to fix issues that will arise in the future.
