Hi smexy artifexians

I am sure you may have noticed a slight ... change in the forums of late. The Modi team here at artifex had a opacity fight and left the forum rather see-through looking o.0. This is only the first step in a series of changes!

Things we have snuck in:

• New Challenge Art of the Week Mid year (and end of year) competition with smexy prizes
  
• New look forum ranks (jobs and OTM winners only) and icons
  - Quest Ranks coming soon still
  
• Opaque Backgrounds
  
• Stickied is now Popular (it requires at least 2 pages to be "Popped"
  
• Announcements are now Important - these will be reserved for important notices and announcements. They may be permanent or temporary.
  

** Please be aware that there are still a few kinks here and there we are working out so bare with us as we remedy them asap**

Things to look forward too:

• Further aesthetic changes
  
• Home Page will get a make over! -DONE
  
• New navigation Icons/links*
  
• New Forum Icons *
  
• FINALLY the installation of the OTM Gallery. - DONE
  
• Appointment of a new Modi Master - DONE
  
• Implementation of Voting Poll on OTM's! - DONE just waiting on voting time
  
• Questing & Quest Ranks
  
• Informer Team *
  
• Photo of the Month and Writing of the Month opening!
  

* I am currently looking for bored and creative minds to beat over the head with sticks until they produce Icons and/or sign up for the Artifex Informer Team (seperate post coming shortly). If you are interested in either PM me or look for the respective threads!

Still looking for creative minds for creation of navigation (check out the new nav section at bottom of the home page! that will be part of the designing too) and our Artifex Informer team.

OTM Winners Gallery is now in operation! There will be a mini rotator to come on that page for all entries, stay tuned! Scratch that did something a little different^^
