New Updates: GMB V.6.0.9

This past week I've been working on intensively on the GMB engine and released the updates as V.6.0.9. These updates fixed and updated a lot of stuff for javascript, css and php etc, and brought some new features and options that allow people to do more, and have a better experience. The reason for this update is to pave the path for GMB V.6.1 which will include a lot of great features for both producers and buyers. GMB V.6.1 is to be released this fall '08 (before the election lol)

Anyway, let's jump straight to what's new.

Edit Beat Page. It has been retouched, it looks cleaner and guide you better through the process.
Beats with Vocal Hooks. I know there are some beats that you have uploaded or will upload in the future that contain vocal hooks in it, well now your customers can browse and search exactly this type of beats for their projects. What does it mean for you? Well, it will increase your chance to be found if someone is looking for these type of beats, hence increase your sales potential. If you have some beats with vocal hooks, please take the time to label them so they can be found. Thank to Juiceboxx, he gave me the idea :).
Increase start time. Before you could only pick the first 60 sec to start playing your beat. But I know that there are some beats that may sound better after the first minute. Well, you can pick anytime in the first 90 sec (1:30) for your beats to start playing now.
New Genre: POP. Lately, artists have been looking for Pop beats (Justin Timberland, Nelly Furtado type beat). Well if you believe that your beats fit this genre, you can categorize themes there.
Profile Themes. I just added new pre-made themes to make your profile look better than the next producer's (lol). Anyway, it is very good to add themes to your profile to make it look attractive and unique, the basic looks sucks anyway(lol). You can create your own or use the pre-made ones that are available. Check it out.
Profile info: I also retouched the profile info editing page.
Comments in the Beat Box Store. I just made it even easier for your visitors to leave some comments. When they are browsing through the beats, they can quickly add comments to your beat to tell you what they think. You know, do the same, take some time to leave comments to other producers. To reward you, you will be displayed in the front page after each comments.
Favorite Beats Tags. Now people can categorize their beats in their Favorites. Before all the beats were in the same basket and it was hard for people to find a certain beat. Well this is over, users can add tags on their favorite beats and quickly retrieve them by tags for purchase.
Recommend Beats. Browse beats that we think you may buy.
Engine updates (javascript,css,php).

That's it for now, and see you in the next post :)

Peace!

Lost Password, Found. Login Page Retouched

For something that should have been there 4 months ago, the LOST PASSWORD option for those who forgot their password is active now. If you forgot your password, we'll send you the password to the email address you register on GMB with, just enter your email, and bam! :)

Also, I retouched the look of the login page. It fits the site better.
