New bookmark feature and several other tweaks

We have just released the Bookmark feature. As with all functions that are regarded as extra, the Bookmarks are only available to GFXplus members.

These bookmarks aren't your average shortcuts. All items in the site (news items, artworks, forum topics, etc) now have a bookmark button sitting the top right corner of their windows. Clicking that button will store the item on your bookmarks page, which can be accessed through the memberbar. Besides easy access, the overview conveniently displays the amount of new comments/critiques/replies since your last visit to that item. You no longer have to reserve a part of your brain to keep track of all the discussions you're involved in, we do that for you. This feature has often been requested and I am sure you'll love it.

There have also been some other (minor) changes and enhancements available for all members:

RSS Feeds
A more comprehensive selection of RSS feeds is now available. When you hit a members profile, the available RSS feed lists the artworks and blog posts of that member. The member's artworks page has a feed for just his/her artwork and the member's blog page has a feed for just his/her blog entries. We will soon add more data to the RSS feeds and make sure the feeds can be automatically discovered by the common rss readers.

Birth Dates
Although already fixed a while back, the birthdates are finally saved and displayed correctly.

Artwork views
Broken, fixed and improved. Reloads will no longer add up the amount of views, making the numbers a more realistic representation.

Print Stylesheet
GFXartist is now printable due to a new stylesheet for print. While the new stylesheet is not flawless and will screw up a long list of comments, it's a step in the right direction.

Edit Comment
A nasty bug surfaced which wouldn't let you save a modified comment. This bug is fixed now.

Besides the big changes which will require a significant amount of discussion behind the scenes here before they are ready for implementation, there will be more of these small changes and new features based on the requests we've so far received.

This is a great function to add to our site toolkit Martijn! I don't need to have yellow stick-its all over my monitor now to keep up the good work I want to crit, but don't have time at the point to deal with it.

Good way of keeping up with blogs, threads 'n new-items too... Wow - this site is getting so cool! * cooler *
