Well, to be honest, I haven't started it yet. I need to get the new code up for viewing already submitted designs. That'll be a small re-write but shouldn't be too too bad. The code for submitting designs will probably be an extensive re-write. I'm switching the way it is done and using AJAX along with some nifty JavaScript techinques. That will allow the entire submission phase to act like an application with no page refreshes. Will make it work much smoother. But, we are quite a way off from that. So don't hold your breathe.

It's not suppose to. That's a sandbox, meaning it's my test site. Nothing that happens over there will ever carry over to here. So you can make all sorts of test posts or test submissions. Periodically I'll wipe out the Sandbox and refresh it with the database from the Live site (here). So don't get too attached to anything over there.

Why did this just remind me to go clean the litter box out?

Out of curiosity what will happen to all of the designs that were submitted but not yet approved? I had a couple that I had turned in a couple weeks before. Are thoes going to get carried over as well?
Just wondering

Yes, all the designs (including those still sitting in the queue) will get carried over. I'll need to build the admin UI to approve them, of course.

Okies good to hear.
One other question.
Twice now I have found the forums on accident (yesterday it took me 30 mon's to find the forums) Are the forums now listed as "User Groups"? If they are could I suggest one small change. Change user groups to Forums. Would make it a lot easier to find the forums quickly and easily.
So far though I really like it. Nice look to the site.

You can get to the forums by clicking on Bar & Grill in the menu. The menu that comes up when hovering over Bar & Grill are all sub options. Maybe I should have 'Forums' listed under Bar & Grill since it isn't apparent to click on B&G. Especially since you can't click on Ministry of Intelligence or Lottery and have anything happen.
[EDIT] OK, you talked me into it. I added a sub-menu under Bar & Grill called Forums. You can now get here by simply clicking on Bar & Grill or by clicking on Forums underneath the Bar & Grill.

So, did the "threaded view" go the way of the dodo bird with the upgrade? I always liked that since it made it easy to keep track of replies to a particular post, but I have not found any way to enable it since the change.

It disappeared for the foreseeable future. I do intend on putting it back in at some point, but it is not high on the to-do list.

Question-
I've noted that I still have credits, yet there's no store to spend it at.
What happens to any unused credits?

The Store will be available when I upload the next batch of changes. Not sure when that will be, but I'd bet within the next 1-2 weeks.
