Hallelujah for version upgrades! Yesterday afternoon we pushed the Atomic site up a notch, to v2.6. Not a site overhaul at all, but a few cool new toys to play with and buttons to push.

Jump in and have a play. Here’s a few of the 2.6 things you’ve now got:

Support for Polls in the forums

A brand new Atomic Downloads directory

Vastly improved Search engine – now you can search by user

Latest Atomic content as an EZ-2- view thumb at the top of the page

Forgot your login or password function

Auto-login now works!

Plus a few other little tweaks.

We’ve also got a cool competition running for an Atomican to design new icons for Poll, Lock and Sticky – a dream opportunity to stamp your style on Atomic forever! Check out the top of Green Room for that.

Happy Easter everyone, have a tremendous 4-day weekend!
