Now that the forum software I based this site on has publicly released the latest major update I am in the process of upgrading the site. There are some big changes incoming!
First off, I've reworked the way the commissions lists are handled. Instead of having two slightly different lists that display things completely different ways, I'm combining them down to one list with the fancy color coding. As a result, I've added an edit button the the individual commission pages for artists to use to update said commission. Hopefully this will simplify things at least a little bit.
Second, and this is the part that's taking the longest, the new theme! I had to restart a couple of times due to major updates to the core software's structure, but now that the major version is finally stable I can work on the theme without worrying about things being yanked out from under me. Most likely to get things out ASAP I'll be just doing the main pages people use the most, then upgrading things as I get to the other pages.
There should not be any loss of information, but when I am finally ready to apply the upgrade I will need to take down the site for the duration of it. I will be giving plenty of advanced notice through as many channels as possible so just keep an eye out! It shouldn't take any more than a day at the most absolute worst case scenario and most likely will be done within an hour.
