wmtdb: massive updates

Hey guys,
Kelly and I wanted to let you all know that today we've finished some massive improvements to the site. The main change was the implementation of some new software that not only makes it easier for us to update, but also allows for custom user pages and brings a whole new community feel to the site. Along with this upgrade there's a slightly new look to the site as well, so if you guys could report any weird things that you encounter, it would be great. Obviously, certain sections of the site (mainly the galleries, the archive, and the extremely neglected post-ep search engine) are still separate from this new stuff. I hope to complete a new skin for the fic archive that goes with the new layout sometime within the next couple of weeks, but I'm entering finals period so I'm going to be extremely busy.
I've mentioned it here a few times, but one of the biggest additions is the beta service. Details on how it works can be found over at the site. There are also a ton of other things that can be done now, and for a couple of ideas just check out the home page. You'll notice that if you try to click on some of the links, it will tell you the page doesn't exist. That's because I didn't create the pages (they were only ideas). If you want to create those pages, though, feel free to do so. I just want to encourage you all to sign up and start making some awesome pages and stuff. If at any time you screw up and want a page deleted, just post here with a link and I'll take care of it. To create your user page, all you have to do is click your name at the top of the screen after you register. You can create other pages by editing the appropriate public page first (say you want to make a page all about what you think Nick and Greg's favorite sexual acts are. Just edit your user page or the cool stuff page (or both) and create a link (something like [[FavoriteSexActs because 'all of them' just isn't specific enough]]). Then, click on the link and create your page. More instructions can be found at the site, but if you have any questions, let me know. It can be a little overwhelming at first).
There are probably a million things that I'm forgetting to tell you all right now, but I'm pretty drained from staring at the computer all day. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you guys have.
PS: http://www.nickandgreg.com/newsite/Wikka/FormattingRules is a huge, huge help.
Edit: Wow, it might help if I could link correctly. Sorry 'bout that.
