  • The system for the Be My Valentine Art Exchange was implemented. Added by aMoniker

  • Deleted deviations that were not yet withdrawn from the Message Center would display oddly. Fixed by aMoniker
  • Invalid code could be put into the bio area of one's Portfolio, and that would break the portfolio's display. Fixed by shadowhand

  • On Prints pages, if the lustre finish was selected by default, the checkbox would appear next to glossy instead. Fixed by shadowhand
