Well the lads and lasses here have been working away on making the Veer Ideas section even more usable. Here’s a quick list of some of the highlights.
Notifications:
Well, this one really just makes sense :) Now you’ll see when someone has commented on or tagged your posts, portfolios, profile, and worlds, and when someone has added you as a contact. You can also set up e-mail notifications if you like. You can access notifications on your member page and a link will appear next to your name at the top-right of every page. As an interesting side-note, you can see who is following you using the “See who has added you as a contact link” at the top of the contacts page.
Drafts:
Now you can create posts and portfolios in draft mode which lets you publish everything when you’re actually ready.
Centralized Worlds:
All of those fantastic worlds are now viewable from the “See all worlds” link on the World of Possibilities 2 page, and from members pages under “Activities”. The Fat has been cleaned up and is now reserved for design-related posts.
Simplified Links & Bits:
Go nuts and use free form text and html to add interesting information about yourself. No more fields to fill out...
For the Geeks:
Lots of Ruby performance improvements. Booyah!
We hope you like the latest additions to the site and, as always, just drop us a line or leave a comment here if you have suggestions for additions or changes.

Hey Mac, that's not nice!
Lovers of type and design we are, but hypocrites we are not.
Our team wasn't inspired by the Bahamas logo at all. They hadn't seen it. But you're right, the pattern shapes are very alike...
The truth is the entire poster started with the typeface Stadia, designed by Rian Hughes created in 1997.
Every shape on the poster is taken from that face, including the pattern. Hope that helps and thanks for posting.

nice work ripping off Duffy & Partners' Bahamas identity for your recent 12 sq foot mailing poster. as a firm that represents artists and fights to protect ownership and rights obviously for you own profits, you really stuck your foot in your mouth by not giving them credit for their design. HYPOCRITES!
