We’ve installed some very professional skin choices on the forums, they’re called the Clients Series of Skins, and they come in the following colors…Green,Hot Pink, and Red. They also have an interesting twist that they add you your profiles, which we think you’ll enjoy.

The blog and gallery have been recently updated and repaired. We’ve come to find that some skins refuse to integrate with the blog. The ‘Professional Blue’ Skin makes the blog look great and we’re starting to see more entries in the blogs.

The gallery now has re-organzied categories for you to upload your great pictures to. Speaking of uploads, we think, we have the upload thing fixed on the forums.
