Apart from the background stuff there have been a lot of changes made which I hope you like. This will hopefully be the last upgrade before the major one in 2009
Friends activity
This is probably the biggest change and certainly the hardest to get working right. Basically it show what all you friends are doing eg writing a post, blog, watching videos etc etc You should see tabs all activity, media etc, these will fill up when your friends do something on the iste You can also add comments to them
You can view this in your account http://www.touringandtenting.com/crowd/account/
My Status
This needs you to alter, when you go to my crowd just go to your account page and update your status to whatever you want. Click the ? to add your status, click change to change it

Interaction
Again this needs you to make it work, and it works in the same way as crushes, you can now send a friend a poke in the eye, a beer a kiss whatever, more can be added if you want just let me know. Interactions are on profile pages, go to a friends profile to send them an interaction. For example http://www.touringandtenting.com/crowd/markf you will find the message centre and the drop down for interations
To see your own interactions go to the bottom of your account page

Record your own video
Webrecorder allows members to record video with sound via their webcams which can then be added to the site. To be honest I have used this once and it seems to work but there's no way I am putting a vid of myself online To access this go to chat suite
Puzzle maker
What can I say they are jigsaws, with several categories and photo's and you can upload your own http://www.touringandtenting.com/crowd/account/puzzlemakergenerator/ There is a link at the top of the page as well
Glitter Text
Popular at the moment you can now make your own glitter badges on site You can find the link to glitter text on you account page or a direct link is http://www.touringandtenting.com/crowd/account/cltextgenerator/
Gender Members are now clearly marked male and female, for those that haven't uploaded an avatar there are now nice new ones for them http://www.touringandtenting.com/crowd/browse/

New games are

Speedy thief
Fight man
http://www.touringandtenting.com/crowd/arcade/
No pets were injured or highscores lost in the making of these games
New look
There is now a new look to My Crowd, just a few changes, you can revert to the old theme by clicking the theme changer in your acount page
You may notice that the site is slightly slow at first but this will change as I have deleted old cache files, sessions etc
One change I haven't been able to finish is online games where you can actually play, battle with each other. If I can get it done before christmas I will if not it will be early new year
There is more stuff but that will do for now, hope you like it
looks smashing Mark. Thanks for all your hard work.
