Theme Exchange.

We're going to be starting a "theme exchange" where you can download various themes for CourseForum and ProjectForum. If anyone has some interesting themes that they'd like to share with others, please send them along to us.

We'll post downloads for all the standard ones (to make it easier to customize them) and other samples or user contributed themes around the time of the 3.2 release (That version has a few tweaks to the existing themes, and also another brand new theme built in).

Pre-Holiday Update.

Just a short update from us as we head into the last couple weeks of the year. After this week we'll be in slowdown-mode for the holidays, so while we'll still be here answering your email etc., responses may be a bit less immediate than you've been accustomed to.

Also, just a reminder that, as previously announced, some modest price increases will take effect at the end of this month, to take into account the markedly lower value of US currency. Something to keep in mind if you're looking at purchasing licenses in the near future.

Finally, a big thank you to everyone for your support over the past year. We're looking forward to more exciting times in the months ahead. We hope everyone will have a great holiday and a happy new year!
