We have some code to finish re-writing and possibly this weekend we will migrate the user accounts over to the portal user manager. When we do this the forum will be unavailable from anwhere between 20 minutes and several hours. If you get a login dialog prompt popping up this weekend we are doing the conversion. That is (hopefully) this weekend.
Below are some screenshots of the portal, the forum, the classfieds/jobs area, resources, articles. We still have to flesh out some of the sections (like the "Mod Blogs") but we want to get moved over soo as we can. Take alook. Feed back is alwasy welcome.

;) Well at least with the portal framework we can do more like eventually having a live chat and other neat and fun, interesting and learnful items.

It'll be nice to vent somewhere....my mom always comes into my room and reads my journal, which was ok, until I hit puberty and the content kind of got X rated.

I am hoping that this weekend we can do the user conversion, it is up to my Dev buy to get to it by the end of the week and we need to do some quick testing. The forum is already displaying and wrking in the new portal, just have to covert all the users so we don't lose anything. Anyone that doesn't have a email address in the system may have a problem, but we have a contact form to deal with those.

question for you - when revamping the search feature, would it be possible (practical) to add a feature that allows you to search for threads started by a particular member?

Looks great, cant wait to see how everything works. One suggestion, a Graphic Design Forum Suggestion Topic??? (what could help the forum,possible changes, tips etc.) It might be in there, I might have missed it, Dont know how hard to add another one, just a thought

If you look on the very first attatchment page it says 'Let us know what we can do to better serve you at the Graphic Design Forum, we welcome suggestions'....so, when the portal site is up, you will be able to go to the contact page and leave your suggestions there and it will go to the administrator, in this case Allen :o)

I have a little suggestion... http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/icon_redface.gif
You know the forum quick jump at the top of the page?
Can you have that whole bar (including the forum/topic you're in) at the bottom of the page as well?
http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/dry.gifJust my 2 cents!

No problem _Tyger_, i had this planned for a while and it just kind of fell together this last week or so. I have a few details code wise to implment but it wil be finished and ready soon. I had unveiled a prototype to the mods several motnhs ago, but were wiaing on the forum integration to happen before we could get rolling on it.

I know this is old news and we are awaiting the new changes. Just wondering if there's any chance we'll have a 3d or CG section?
I know awhile ago you said 3dhaven was put on the back burner but maybe we should start off with a section?
