The Gallery and Blog applications have both been updated. Gallery had a rather massive overhaul and as a result there are some issues with the dark skin I'm aware of (though they're just visual and don't affect usability), so if you want to check out what it should/will look like use the Light skin. Hopefully I'll fix whatever issues there are relatively quickly.
Here is a list of improvements; each bullet links to an in-depth write-up by IPB if anyone is interested.

- Das GIF Haus - A place for all of the best GIFs.
- Image Hosting - Where people who add images to their articles should host their stuff. Otherwise it will likely be lost after a short period of time because people tend to hot-link or upload it to crummy places like imageshack. Premium Members are also able to host their own stuff.

- I can't navigate to my notification drop down menu from the home page. Not a huge problem, but it interrupts how I usually flow through the site.
- Quotes have lost their box. Like the quote information and picture come up, but no outline and gray shaded area for the box.
Gallery looks miles better though.
