With some tweaking and the use of a nice module profiles have been changed to include your activity stream, your statuses, your friends, last topics posted by you, last comments posted by you, a comment wall, last visitors, etc.

Also, the main blogs area has changed to include a list of top bloggers, a list of all bloggers, the latest blog entries, and a tag cloud.

For users' blog your latest blogs are displayed, as are the latest comments on your blog, then at the bottom a tag cloud for each user.

If you have any ideas on other 'fixes' let me know. What else do you want to see in the blogs? In the profiles? Elsewhere?

There was an issue with the CAPTCHA's for anonymous users and people attempting to register or request a password. They should now be working properly. If not e-mail me at gabrielle@self-injury.net .

Also, in the past day or so adding new content worked but had an ugly bunch of red error text a the top. That is fixed now and forms should appear normally.

Registered users should now be able to use more advanced HTML and also post images from self-injury.net in the form. They need to click 'Input Format' and choose 'More Advanced HTML'.

I've added in a new editor and some of the different features it has are: smilies, ability to link images from self-injury.net (you can upload images into your user directory!), ability to choose special characters to insert, etc.

Artwork has ditched the tables-like display and has been revamped to display three images per row and much larger. Each image will popup the larger original image (if needed) if you have javascript on. Information about the image is displayed below it with a link to each individual page so that you can comment if you so choose.

You can now choose to be notified about comments on your comment, comments on the page you commented on. You can also choose to be notified about new content from a certain member, from a certain type of content, from a taxonomy (taxonomy can be tags or, for example, a certain band under Songs), etc. You can be notified through e-mail, personal message or comment.

A module I added disabled comments for all users but me. I have disabled that module so everybody should be able to comment again. Please let me know if there are any other issues. Thanks!

I fixed a bug that would change your password if you updated your profile and make you unable to login after logging out. Sorry about that.

Several new features have been added for registered members. It's a work in progress so please report any issues you are having.

You can now create groups that other members can join around topics, things you have in common. I know there's Safe Haven, the main message board, but I know some people may be uncomfortable posting there because it's so big and a lot of the members there are established. Here's where you can connect with smaller groups of people if you so choose. Each group is supposed to have it's own forum. So, say you create a group around people who have been abused or have a certain mental illnesses (be careful with the ED talk, though, that's pretty hard to know where to moderate) or go to high school, you can have a little forum for that group, a place to talk, share blog entries, poetry, etc. You can create your own member titles, the group can be private or public. Maybe this won't take off but I'd like to give people a better chance to talk and connect if they don't feel comfortable on the main forum.

Another new feature is that you can now connect your Twitter account to your user account here and have your statuses cross-post.

I'm going to be away on vacation for the next few days so validation of new accounts is probably going to be impossible. I'll be sure to validate any new accounts made when I get back.

The forum, Safe Haven, and self-injury.net have been joined. You should now be able to log into one and provided that your passwords are the same in both it will sign you in on the other (if you've logged into the other at least once).

If you're having issues, it may be for one of these reasons:

1. You have a different password for the forum than for self-injury.net.
2. Your e-mail for the forum is different than for self-injury.net
3. You changed your information during a period of about three days last week where changes to e-mail/password didn't filter to the forum and vice versa. 

If your passwords do not match reset your password on self-injury.net, login, and change your password.

If your e-mails do not match please contact me so I can see if maybe I can fix it.
