CHANGES AT QUARTERLIFE!
You've probably noticed some issues with the site in the last week -- for instance it's hard to send messages and comments. We're very sorry about that, but the good news is we're a victim of our own success. The community simply started growing faster than our technology could keep up with it. And the even better news is we've been building a new and better quarterlife.com right alongside this one. In about a week the new version of the site will go live and though it may not look very different at first, you'll notice right away that it works better. And within a couple of weeks after that you'll see some exciting changes:
Two new top-level sections are being added. One is called OPPORTUNITIES, and will soon be filled with internship offers, contests, competitions, and other ways for our members to find their way in the fields they're passionate about.
The other top-level section will be called THE BOARD, and will be a great way for our members to communicate directly with the entire community: want to announce an exhibition, looking for crew for your next project, want to sell your old 16mm camera, looking for love and friendship? You'll be able to find all of it and more on THE BOARD.
And other changes are coming soon after: starting next month members will be able to buy and sell work directly through the site. Photos, videos, paintings, writing, all UGQ -- both through digital downloads and physical delivery. There has been so much fantastic work uploaded to the site, and so many requests to acquire that work -- we had to make this service available!
And more coming after that -- new content, new functions, new partnerships with other sites. quarterlife is taking off!
And, yes, we're still working as hard as we can to bring the show back! We'll announce on the site as soon as we have a date. Thanks to all qlifers for hanging in!
