We just finished the major upgrade of CorelDRAW.com and everything seems to be running smoothly. We will be monitoring the site very closely over the next few days to make sure that everything is perfect. If you have any problem or notice anything strange, please don't hesitate to contact the admin team of the site through the site conversation system or per email: coreldrawcommunity {at} corel {dot} com.

A few of the changes include:

• Major evolution of the private messaging system into conversations, so that you can exchange messages with groups of users. It is also possible to limit conversation with only your friends if you want (to avoid spam).
• The concept of friends and favorites has been greatly enhanced. You now can accept friendships (similar to other social networks) and then will be notified of the activity of your friends. The favorites system has also been greatly evolved based on your feedback and should be a lot more useable.
• The Forums introduce a new distinction between discussions vs. questions. If you post a question, it is then possible to mark an answer as the best one, so that it is at the top of the list going forward.
• The real-time chat room is a lot more visible and accessible.
• Wikis! Yes, finally. We know you've been asking for this for quite a while. Now it's up to you to populate the content. Please provide us some feedback regarding the wikis in the community site forums (do you want additional wikis, ...)
• We have merged the photo galleries with the download sections, which means that for those who had / will have galleries, you will be able to post a lot more file formats (think color palettes, marcros, CDR files, ...) in addition to images.
• Finally (I am missing quite a lot actually, but this is one more big thing), you now all have a brand new personalized home page, which gives you an overview of what is happening from your perspective.

Enjoy the new CorelDRAW.com and please let us know if you notice anything strange so that we can look into it ASAP.

The CorelDRAW.com administration team.
