Cimatti Consulting just updated the plugin that allows us to enter our gallery URL’s. Doing so fixed the bug that didn’t allow us to save changes to those fields. The CE is now officially up and running smoothly in wordpress 2.5+. That was one rocky road we traveled for a while there, but we’re through the worst of it. I’m going to be working on some tutorials for doing basic stuff around the site (like entering your gallery urls, setting up profile pictures to show up in the forums, etc…).
In the mean time, get out there, have some fun, make some comments, and give some back. This community is growing and it’s growing fast. Hopefully things will move even faster now that everything is 100%

Unfortunately, there is a bug in one of the plugins that I use to extend the functionality of this site. This so happens to be the plugin that enables users to enter their gallery URL’s into their profiles so that they can be seen on the user pages.
As far as I know, the problem is being worked on, but due to the nature of this site, and the nature of the plugin, we just have to wait for them to update. If you know PHP programming well enough that you believe you might be able to help, contact me, and I’ll set you up so that you can dig around in the code.
If you have some spare cash in the bank and would like to donate to this plugin (in the hopes that the developer will work on it faster/more often), then simply go here, and donate whatever you think is fair.
For the time being, I’ll make it to where users can enter their URL’s when they sign up (which seems to be unaffected by the bug). Anyone wishing to change/remove/add URL’s should contact me with their username and the URL’s they wish to modify.
Sorry for the mess, this upgrade is still not working perfectly.

That’s right. It took a while but I managed to get the forums back up and working. I apologize for that taking so long but I had to update the database in order to accommodate this. On top of that, I installed the new version of the forum incorrectly about seven times before I finally read the directions (I figured that might help).
In any case, It’s all working again. Yay!
So feel free to dig right in and keep in touch. The forums really are the best place to network, get to know people, learn new tips/techniques, and get advice. The main reason, however, that you should participate in the forums is that all the cool kids are doing it, so you should too. 
You do want to be cool don’t you?

The Comment Exchange is now listed as a global associates of Elfwood.
This means a lot to us because it means greater exposure, more traffic, and more comments on member’s galleries.
We are listed 1st (as of the date of this article) under the “Global” subsection of the “Elfwood Communities” Section. Because of this listing, we have received more exposure through that one page in the last 30 days, than from any other source.
We’ve got almost 50 members as of this post and we’re growing every day. I’ve got to say, I’m really enjoying myself, and I hope everyone that visits here does as well. Everyone keep up the good work, get involved, and as the pirates would say “Stick to the code.” er… and by code I mean the rules.
