New page layout system
We've updated the system to give you more flexibility in the content area of your pages. The biggest improvement is that we removed the limit on how many features you can have on a page. Also, the layouts are more flexible so you can have a combination of content in a column or full width format.
This update alters some sections of the control panel. For example, there is no more "layout" tab over each page in EDIT PAGES. You can move features beside or over any existing page features, so you don't need to choose from a preset layout. Also, you'll notice the photo gallery feature limits you to one gallery per feature, where before you could add multiple galleries to each individual feature.
Because this change affected a lot of features, there may be some small bugs to iron out. If you notice anything, please contact us via the HELP tab of your control panel for the fastest resolution.
One last thing to note; though you now CAN put a lot of features on a single page, it is still a good idea to divide up your pages into their major functions, rather than grouping things on a single page. For example, a Forum or Store should really be on their own page. This makes things easier for your visitors to find.
Let us know what you think in the community!

There is a glitch in the Title of the Events calendar - In the edit box - you can see the title - but it doesn't show up on the page. Initially it appeared to shorten the field for a title for the calendar - so I went in to shorten the title, but after shortening the title - it no longer showed up at all.
Now I can do more in a page. It's cool.
Thanks for working hard for us.
Have fun

Great feature
The only glitch I have is when you change the position of things the titles disapear, they are on the control panel but do not show up on the website.
Thanks again.
Thanks for your feedback. We'll resolve any remaining bugs today.
another little issue: PHOTOS - when i want to add another photo gallery to a page, there is no option for me to import another currently existing photo gallery, it only gives me the option to make a NEW gallery. this saddens me and makes me weep.
Sounds cool. Thanks
GOOD UPDATE BUT THERES A LOT OF THINGS WRONG THOUGH.
HOLY SOLDIER RECORDS: we see your help request, and it was an issue that was fixed earlier today. If you have any other problems, please contact us via HELP
I already got to alter 
The new feature is great, Dennis Downing a.k.a Dr. Detox

Thanks!!!
This really is a great improvement!!!!!!
A very good and much needed change...
Always wanted to put more than 4 Sections on the same page.
Great!
Thanks for the improvements to the photo galleries. It was frustrating waiting for the page to load every single image every time I performed an operation. Some of us need to sneak this activity at work, so the faster we can get in and get out lessens the chance of reprisal from "THE MAN".
It would be nice to have a site advisor service to look at our websites and suggest improvements for more traffic and better layout and feature use.
A good improvement, thank you for your hard work. However, for some reason this has thrown a few of my pages into a bit of disarray!? I have around 12 pages where the features have moved themselves. I am just going through fixing them all now.
One minor glitch is where I am moving the galleries back across to their correct position if I click the "move here" button ABOVE the gallery I have corrcetly replaced, it actually places it BELOW it. So I am moving them across to the left hand side of the page, them having to move them again to sit in chronological order.
This is just general feedback, not a request for help
Wow, that's awesome, I was thinking about that last week and you guys just did it. Bandzoogle, you guys are tha sh**. Keep it up
I love the new system, but I think something happened to the word processing part of it. I'm not able to change the color of a link like I used to. The word changes but not the underline. Looks cheesy! Could you look into that please?
Thanks
i noticed this problem as well but i found a way to fix it if you have the word highlighted add a underline to it by clicking the underline button (yes do it even though the underline is allready there) then while its still highlighted try to change the color it worked for me for most of the ones that gave me a problem allthough i did have a few things where the color just wouldnt change regardles.

I LIKE THIS IDEA SWEET....THNX 4 THE OPPORTUNITY
Yes I love the fact there is no limit now!
Now the photo galleries require a title. I don't want a title. Can you make this optional again? Or make it optional whether the title is DISPLAYED?
How can I get some paid downloads. I get hundreds of plays but no paid down loads. Is there a way to Say-If they download 1 song for 89 cents i give them a free download or something like that? How would I do the set up for the free song if they psy for 1?? Help. I know I am either giving away songs on another website or something...I am not getting the paid songs at all. Help!! My songs are good.. I get over 1000 plays per month including all sites and more but no paid..
