Added Company Watching with game and comment notifications, email unsubscribe links, read tracking, and bulk watch management.
Added game list item interaction statistics with compact Favorite, Played, and Backlog controls for signed-in users.

Added a poster-list display style for the Latest Lists widget with title, author, and date information.
