| Hey beautiful people, ckknight here. Got into Anaheim this morning. This'll be my first year going to BlizzCon and I'm hoping for a good time. Kaelten's also here, though he's been here a few times before. I'm gonna try to keep you all posted if there are any UI-based changes on the horizon that come out of the con. For general speculation and non-UI info, I'm sure World of Raids, Arena Junkies, or Curse.com will have info. Also, if anyone else is here at BlizzCon, feel free to make a... |

| The development team here at Curse has been hard at work on the Curse Client 4.0. Crunch Gear was given a sneak peak at the newest alpha client, 4.0. It's been entirely rewritten to optimize performance, speed, and usability. Of course it's going to pack in some new features as well. It's only in Alpha so we can only share this screen shot of the updated UI. I (Kaelten) also wanted to take the opportunity to post a screenshot of our upcoming mac client. Our mac users are important to us, and... |

Some of you may have noticed the private messaging system on up the top right. You can now message other users on the site. Rendering optimizations. There has been a lot of changes to the... |

| Hey beautiful people, ckknight here. There has been some hub-bub about project approvals recently and one way we figured that we could help on the backend side of things is to introduce the concept of experimental projects. If you have a cool idea but nothing fleshed out, your project is best considered "experimental". This is especially true for libraries. Many of the best libraries out there have a lot of rehashing, discussing, even without much in the way of code. Previously, a lot of... |

| Woo, the day has finally come when the author store is launched. A lot of hard work has been put into this, both on the technical end and on the business and legal side of things. You can visit it at https://store.CurseForge.com/. If you redeem an item, you won't receive it immediately. For the first little while, I'll be going through and approving all the redemptions manually, just to make sure everything's running smoothly. In case you didn't read the previous announcements, in order to... |

I've been slaving over the keyboard for the past few days getting some cool features in that I hope a lot of you will appreciate: Private Messaging Previously, there wasn't any real good way of sending a message to another user on the site, hopefully this will help that out. Please provide constructive feedback if you can. You can PM more than one person at a time. You can also specify people as CC (like in e-mail). This is a proper conversation system rather than a... |

| Many people have very specific likes, and some people (like those with eye problems) have very specific needs. I think it's important to try to give a way for everyone to be able to use the site. There are some very hard realities. We're not the greatest designers. At times we can bust our asses for days and be lucky to have something the won't make you run in terror. We're also under a very heavy workload and have a lot going on, and there is only two of us. So please keep in mind that the... |

| Hey beautiful people, ckknight here. I've been working on the revamp of CurseForge for a long time now, and I've gotten to the point where I'm comfortable launching it as the main site. This is the largest change to happen to the codebase since WowAce moved from its old technology to the new CurseForge-based one. Apart from the following, many, many bugs were fixed in the process. There are gradients and rounded corners now. This provides a feeling of weight to the widgets on the page. (also:... |

| In the past day or so, some people have reported getting an e-mail stating it is from Curse regarding a password reset. The mail looked something like: Your CurseID password has been reset. To login, simply enter your username or e-mail address and the following password: We encourage you to change this password as soon as you login. Your e-mails have not been stolen/hacked, and this was not a fishing attempt. It was a template for the password reset sent by curse, and was sent inadvertently... |

| Hello friends, ckknight here. We've been calculating points for the author rewards program for one month now. The numbers we had been using to give points was based on an estimate, which, after one month of business, has turned out to be a bit of an overestimate. You may notice that points generated are less than before, because of this. We expect that, over time, the amount of points will increase as the Curse Premium becomes more popular (likely when the next WoW patch arrives). I know it's... |
