In this thread we will document all feature and interface adjustments to the site.

Heh, I was wondering why my name was suddenly blue, I thought I was on some kind of watch list or something ;) I do like the turquoise, but Roxy makes a good point; the little accents are great, but too much could very quickly become too much of a good thing.

And the Roll The Dice feature? LOVE IT. Love it to pieces and then back into a solid mass so I can love it to pieces all over again. There are so many great photos that would so sadly likely never be found otherwise. I spent about 10 minutes discovering things yesterday, it's wonderful.

Yep! And getting your attention to those areas is exactly what its intended to do, so GREAT!

In general design red and turquoise companion colors. For example, here is a peek at some very cool color palates using the PL red, you'll notice some certain shades of green and purple also.

I'm guessing you mean the turquoise? I like the brightness of it, it pops on the site for sure. Very pretty. Although... red and turquoise..... not so good next to each other. Because it's so small on the site, I think it works, but in real life, I would never put those colors together.

The dice in the random photo generator are now a bit smaller and "tumble".

Some features on the site are currently disabled. These include the Dice Roll & Who's Online. We expect to have these features restored shortly.

All back to normal folks, features restored.

Can I just say how much I LOVE all these new features? I love the color scheme with the turquoise now. As a former web designer...this makes my heart feel super happy. More color!!! :D

[Edson Carlos]

Thank you honey! SUPER cool new things coming soon...

BRANDING:

- For more consistent branding as a community you'll slowly start to see any mention of PL as solely a "network" disappear. "The Pinup Lifestyle Network" will simply become "Pinup Lifestyle".

- Our official tag line is now active at the top of all browser windows. "Pinup Lifestyle - We Are The New Vintage"


MEMBERS PAGE:

- The ability to "Roll the dice" has been added to the MEMBERS PAGE. Now you can find members easily at random.

Go ahead, roll the dice, you'll be surprised at all the amazing people you'll find!

BLOGS:

Pondering the removal of blogs/articles from PL. This will help centralize information in the forums. There is a forum for every possible type of discussion already and all are hoppin.

Most people use blogging services such as tumblr for blogs. All blogging services/sites offer RSS feeds outbound and we provide you with an RSS inbound module on your profile, way easier to auto feed your blog into PL than it is to duplicate a post! You also gain the traffic to your blogs.

We like simplicity, thoughts?

Bernie Dexter saves time and effort by feeding her blog right into PL. This ensures we always have her latest updates!

Edson, I love the new features. Actually I love everything about PL. I have had wonderful informative chats here and learned a lot from other fans, photographers, and models. My photography business has doubled in the last few months due to popularity of pinup photography. I depend on PL to keep me up to date on trends in the biz as well as help me find places to order more clothing. If I need some help with the site I look for Roxy or Daniel and they are always around to assist me. Keep up the great work!!

[Honey B Hooligan {Madam}]

I really LOVE the idea of getting rid of blogs/articles. Using the RSS inbound feed for a personal blog is MUCH better, not to mention easier. It also helps drive traffic to vendors/photographers/models personal blogs. :) LOVE IT

I have to agree I like all the changes...cleaner, simpler.
