Hello everyone,

We’ve released an updated build and this time we’ve included some noticeable cosmetic changes to the Clan Pages. The new Battle format has required us to make a number of upgrades to the clan section, so we’ve taken this opportunity to update the look and feel of these pages at the same time and we'll be making a few more incremental improvements here over the coming days.

The change log for this build:
- added new clan page design
- added new graphics and layout for clan charts
- fixed searching that displays the wrong error message if no profiles/clans were found
- removed restriction on renaming profiles to a previously used name
- g1: reduced time that End-round stats are shown for, from 12 seconds to 3 seconds
- more background database changes for the new Battles.

Of course, everyone wants to know when the new Battles are going to be released and as usual, we’re avoiding giving out any artificial deadlines (sorry!) – however, if you are desperate for more information (or perhaps just curious) we are going to be holding a brief, live Q&A session at 19:00GMT (that’s 8 o’clock pm UK time and 3:00pm Eastern time USA) on Sunday, June 21st on Ventrilo for anyone that wants to attend.

If, you are interested in coming along, details of the Ventrilo server (kindly hosted by Moonlight) are as follows:
IP: 83.221.145.235
Port: 3786
Codec: GSM 6.10 (44 KHz, 16 bit) 8905 bytes/second

For the new Plug-In, we’re hoping to have the final version released within 10-14 days max so long as our final testing results remain positive. So not much longer to go!

Some of you may also be aware that Anonissimus has been busy assembling a ‘battle-ready’ team of soldiers for the FBG Clan so that we can accept challenges (and soon, actively participate in the Battles) without pulling our entire core team away from development. More to come on this later...

Lastly, we’d like to congratulate the new member Montgomery from Nebraska, USA who signed up as our 30,000th member only a few days ago. Montogomery, you will be pleased to discover that we’ve just awarded you 30,000 Plinks!
