June 17th, new features!
Been busy over here at the smugmug HQ! As always, there’s a dgrin thread about these changes.
Here’s what’s new and changed:
Speed boost. You should see a noticeably snappier reaction when clicking around smugmug.
Can now delete album templates.
Can now batch apply album templates.
Can now preview the affects of album templates on your gallery settings page.
Community update includes “most popular” communities, searching for communities, browsing by name.
You can now delete communities you own.
‘Featuring’ a community gallery now works on all gallery styles (only worked on Elegant before)
Cobranding should properly work on the community and user level now.
Pro pricing had a bug fix when increasing prices on items that didn’t have pricing already.
Images in a gallery with HideOwner enabled were refreshing slowly on Internet Explorer because IE sucks. Fixed.
Custom domains should now “auto-forward” multiple hostnames on the same domain to your custom hostname. If you use, for example, myphotos.mydomain.com, you can now point myphotos2.mydomain.com and mydomain.com to smugmug and they will redirect to myphotos.mydomain.com.
The organize galleries interface on your homepage has gotten a minor (but important!) facelift. Should be more obvious now.
Power & Pro accounts can now, using customization, get rid of “search fo all users” and related links on their search result pages.
Single-word wildcard searching works again. ‘band*’ will find ‘bandana’ for example.
The math for your referrals page was broken. Fixed, we hope. 
Bugs related to the display of your renewal date fixed.
Accounts were prematurely getting locked for renewals if your card was expired. Should now be fixed.
Whew, lots more small bug fixes, I’m sure. I’ll post more if I think of them.
Enjoy!

Also posted on dgrin, but I thought this might be a good place for it again:
I use the journal style on my site, and my only complaint is the inability of visitors to see whether pictures have comments. I’d like to have the option to display [via the journal style] the number of comments each picture has, similar to how individual posts on a blog show the number of comments.
I figure this would not only push visitors to read the comments (which I expect often go overlooked), but it would also promote the use of the comments function.
I created this image as an example.
Thanks!
Where is a good place to sale my old wrecked car? Please help me by sugesting some sites or companies.
