To start off, some recent news on createBog include the following:
Since not many people may have noticed, I'll say it here. Several members have asked exactly what cB's standards are for accepting layouts. This has been posted in every design forum. Please take the time to consider these general tips.
As well, please use some of these as guidelines to submitting graphics.
Good

Three new tools have been added/updated to http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showforum=7. The http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=128881 will allow you to get the codes of any Xanga or Myspace layout. The http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=394 and http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=957 will work for any site, including Xanga! Enjoy!
Created and provided by the awesome http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showuser=1. =)
Posts made in Feedback now add to your post count and Posts Per Day.
Posts made in the general Blogger/LiveJournal/MySpace/Xanga/Website forums add to your post count and PPD. Meaning if you offer criticism on layouts through the forum, your post count will be upped.
A Current Events http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showforum=83 forum has been added under Interests in the Community Center.
I added the link. =)
The controversy and piracy rules in the http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=970 have been tweaked and a jocking rule has been added. Note that although the guidelines are subject to change, you are still to follow them so please read over them carefully. Sadly, the controversy rule has been neglected but no longer will be.
Four new forums have been made: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showforum=87, http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showforum=84, http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showforum=85, and http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showforum=86.

Thank you to all those who contributed.
Now that cB's bylaws have been been officially written up the forum has been discontinued. From now on all issues concerning cB shall be taken up in the Feedback forum. I would like to thank everyone who participated as bylaw mods and those who offered their feedback. Without your dedication and patience with this project none of this would have been possible.
As of now, the forums are as is. Meaning, the graphics forum has been merged into the Designers' Cafe'.

some new stuff
-added friendster and hi5 support forums (resource center -> support center)
-upgraded forum software to latest version
-clicking on the usernames on the forums will now go to the subdomain profile, not the forum profile (dubbed subprofile). to get to the subprofile, youll have to find a post made by that user and click on the username -> view subprofile.
nvm, ill do this later. there seems to be a lot of invalid usernames or usernames that dont match their display names.
Currently when submitting layouts please upload the images to either tinypic.com or imageshack.us. Photobucket images are having errors on getting uploaded to the server. Hopefully this won't be a long minor issue. If you have any further questions or concerns you can PM a design staff.
The Contests subforum that used to be below the Feedback forum has been deleted. It wasn't active and usually, the contest didn't really start and follow through. Existing topics were moved to appropriate forums though so if you're interested in starting one, feel free!
