So far, so good; we're running on Drupal 4.7 now. Yay us! 
(No sooner do I write this than I see that the front page says it's "Wednesday, December 31st, 1969." Something I have to fix. sigh.)
I have made quite a few changes.
--One that several of you found right away, and that only just now works, are the new albums. If you're a registered user you'll see that under add your stuff there's now a choice called acidfree media. That choice will allow you to either create an album, add a photo or add a video (yes, video!). The photos and videos will automatically appear all neat and tidy in the album you specify, and you can put albums inside albums--ie, you can have a main album, say, "Lynn's Album" and inside that you can have sub-albums, say, "New Year's Eve 2006," "Finished Objects 2007," and so on. Sweet, no? And for those of you who've been with me long enough to have used the old system--no, I don't think I can get the old image galleries to go into the new albums. I will try but I'm not optimistic.
--You can now easily switch themes between the old center-style theme and the new left-style theme (left is the default, and you need to be a registered, logged-in user to change that). Look at the very bottom of the page if you're using the default theme and you'll see a pull-down menu.
--Bookmarking pages in your browser is now easier; at the top of the column you'll see links to click on that will add bookmarks to your browser for either TNH's home page or the particular page you're on.
--You can also now keep a list of bookmarks here at TNH if you're a registered user. Look in your navigation menu (the one with your name on it) for "my bookmarks". You can bookmark things at TNH or things on other sites, and you can share those bookmark lists with others.
--Registered users can now invite their friends to join TNH using a simple form.
--The buddy list is back. If there are people here whose posts you don't want to miss, you can put them (with their permission) on your buddy list. It's kinda like having friends at MySpace.
--You can now vote on posts!
--If you have a Yahoo ID and have thought about signing up at TNH but just didn't want one more stupid password and user name to remember, you can now sign up with your Yahoo ID and password.
Other things coming: A new chat room area that promises to be much superior to the old one, RSS feeds for comments as well as posts, notification for replies to your comments, and a user brownie point system--the more you participate here, the more points you get. What that will mean in terms of reward I have no clue yet, but I think at the least you'll get a cool icon.
Thanks for your patience!
