Thanks for the compliment; I've put a lot of work and thought into the move, tested it beforehand, checked with people, got feedback and changed things based on the feedback, and continue to do so because it is the people that make CC what it is. I just tend the boiler and keep it running.
Once I get all the bits and bobs up and running it should make it much more of a community site - albeit centralised around the forums - with more on offer than just chat.
There is still a hell of a lot of work to do, but we'll get there ... slowly and surely.
In the meantime, enjoy the new gallery section and if you have a few minutes, why not start your very own CC blog ...
Cheers,
Shaun
