My Favorite Idle VV Feature

...The ability to link worlds to individual hubs. I was going to introduce this feature with the Trigun World I've been building, but since timechaser is doing such a great job with his Doctor Who WORLD I went ahead and made a theO Doctor Who category and linked his WHO FILES.

Check it out

I smell a contest coming up, soon...

The Boring Stuff

I'm really banged up from jujitsu class, need a massage...

I hate to do it but we need some sort of delete account option

We also need to let you edit your E-mail on file, as well as other options...the "boring" stuff, groan...

Comment Deletions and Book Fun

After long last you can delete comments from your art and posts. Somewhere in the process guestbook comments got glitched but we'll fix that soon enough

I was in a book store today flipping through a random book on personal finance. I turn to my right and see a guy in a suit smiling at me. He says "it's a good book" and loiters nearby

I turn my gaze back down to the book, flip to the back, and see a photo of the author--the same guy standing right next to me.

"What are the odds" I think to myself.

In the end I decided that fate brought the author to me. I had him sign it, purchased the book, and am hoping it will inspire some great fate-inspired idea...

What are the odds???

Quick Notes

-- We're hitting some server time-out and lag issues. We're investigating...

-- My new favorite ice cream is Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra

-- I really like on the main page how you can see the art on the site without as much scrolling

-- One thing I bet you didn't notice, our header is like 20% thinner than it used to be, which also emphasizes the page content a bit more

-- Some members are saying that when they try to favorite a member, they get logged off the site. If you're getting this problem, comment here with the browser/OS you're using

White vs. Blue Text Header?

We're streamlining the design a little bit. What do you think of the new header color: Comment on whether you like the new blue text or you want to go back to the old white text.
