We just released a few new features and fixes last night. Here's a look at what's changed:

First, for the IE users in the house: a lot of the bugs that have been plaguing you since November should FINALLY be squashed. Please let us know if you encounter any further issues. Obviously, real use from multiple people is more effective at shaking out the bugs than even the most rigorous testing.

Secondly: The upload tools have gone through a few changes. This is closer to what we had in mind than the last version. We do have further refinements planned for the next release, but we think you'll find this version is a LOT more intuitive than previously. The "new art" classification is gone, and public is now the default. You'll still have to include your work in a personal gallery to publish your work in your portfolio/front page.

Counters are officially back! As are logos for your use. We think you'll like the new system. You can check them out under "Create Links/Counters" in your profile tools.

We've made your sales venue/external links icons more visible in your portfolio. We've also added official support for the following venues:
ArtFire
FineArtAmerica
Yessy
RedBubble
Zazzle
ArtByUs

If you use these venues, feel free to add them to your external links today!

And here's the one you've all been waiting for: delete to your heart's content. Bare in mind that items that were previously AOTD, in a show, or have a COA attached cannot be deleted and should be hidden if you don't want to deal with them in your public folder of your art case.

Also of note: we've added a side bar to most pages of the site. This includes an easy-to-find search tool, Art of the Day, our featured artist, and notes about what's going on with the shows (voting right now through the 7th!)

So--let us know what you think of the update! And as always, if something isn't working as expected, PLEASE let us know!
