In case you haven't noticed - two new features on the line up.
First one, - not so impressive, but if you want to create a new thread hopefully I have made it a little easier. if you click on the 'forum' link on the top, then on the left hand side you should see some quick-links to create a new thread. This should save at least 2 clicks of your valuable time

second one - hopefully a little more exciting.
On the right hand side you will now see the microstock links with an 'online' status button. The site checks regularly if the sites are online or not. If the sites is NOT online, a red light will shine instead of the current green one. Hopefully this helps those people in despair wondering if a site is offline or not or if it is just their computer.
