The gallery system has been greatly improved. You can now create your own photo albums. (Originally, your albums were defined by Flickr's photosets. That seemed to work fine, except for the fact that free accounts only come with 4 measly photosets, as pointed out by Chloefoxx.)

Now, you can create as many photo albums as you need!

Unfortunately, I don't have anything in my gallery to show you. However, if you head over to dave's gallery, you will see that he has many photo albums. You can administer your gallery albums through NuTROL.

Also, a bug of some photos not showing up in NuTROL gallery has been fixed. Thanks to teresa for pointing this out!

Many members have brought this to our attention. Oftentimes, when you visit a member's site (i.e. member.nutang.com), you find yourself logged out and unable to comment and perform other member actions.

Dave has traced this problem to the underscore (i.e. _) in usernames. If you find this problem on a member site without an underscore, please let us know immediately!

Anyway, there is no easy fix for this. The reason being underscores are not allowed in domain names. Dashes, on the other hand, are. Therefore, for the unfortunate members that have underscores in their usernames, we can replace the underscore in your username with either nothing or a dash. We'll also create a temporary redirect from your old subdomain to your new one.

If you wish to do this, please let dave know. Sorry for the inconvenience! Also, feel free to offer alternative suggestions. Thanks.

Dave and Papagoya have been quietly working on this new improvement for weeks. You can now all get your own NuTang subdomain!

This was once a NuSTORE item costing 2500pps. You now have it for free!!


Your subdomain will be your-username [dot] NuTang [dot] com. All your stuff (your blog entries, albums, writings, pictures, etc.) will be now stored on your own subdomain.

So, be sure to tell all your friends to update their links to you. No more long URL (e.g. www.nutang.com/members.php?user=you). Tell them to update their links with you.nutang.com.

Your subdomain will only work if your username contains only numbers, letters, underscores, or dashes. If your username contains some weird characters, you may experience problems. Contact dave immediately and he'll help you out. Also, this is a very big change, so there may be broken links here or there. If you find any broken links ... or even just odd behavior ... please also let dave know ASAP.

Enjoy!

Check out your profile. Some new searches have been added and integrated with your profile:
- location search (e.g. Los Angeles members)
- country search (e.g. Australian members)
- ethnicity search (e.g. Chinese members)

A new nuMod has just been released, called "categories." As the name suggests, this nuMod is a module for listing your blog's categories (or tags).

This NuMod's actually a follow-up to a suggestion posted on the Suggestions Forum: http://www.nutang.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1158
