New Site Design / Features
As you might of noticed Stickam has be redesigned with a 960 pixel page width. In addition we've added some cool new features.
New Navigation Bar
The nav bar has been updated and redesigned for easier access to all the sites features.
You can now Go Live easily from anywhere on the site just by hitting the Go Live button above the nav bar.
When you login to the site, the login box becomes the new Alert Box. You can now see how many new messages, friend requests, comments, and friends live from anywhere on the site. Clicking any of the links takes your to your Inbox or Friends List.
480x480 Stickam Player:
We've added a new, larger square format player design for your profile pages. Its a great way to show off your media and live stream on your profile or blog.
My Page Personal Tag Entry Box:
You can now add or change personal tags straight from your My Page. Personal Tags is the new method of sorting Stickam users by common interests. Check out the new Personal Tag cloud on the Who's Live page as well.
Added Video Chat Privacy - Friends Only:
From now on when you choose to Go Live on Stickam you are given new privacy options. You can immediately set your room to be accessed by Everyone, Members only, or Friends only. In addition you can choose to turn your public cam off. Your public cam is your Live stream being viewed from your Stickam player on your profile page and external sites. What this means is if you want only Friends to be able to enter your room and see you, you can set your privacy options to Friends Only, with the public Cam off.
Comments
I'm not really a big fan of the new layout (and the lag that happens on a daily basis), but I wanted to ask a question about this "Stickam Patrol". I'm trying to see if they really are affiliated with Stickam, or are just some group that reports people who are not following Stickam standards. More recently, this group has been going from room to room telling everyone about the "new features" coming up, yet it's not like they have an admin account with the Stickam symbol beside their name. Could someone PLEASE get back to me about this?

I like the changes you made. I loveeee that you added the friends only cam thing. good idea. How about identification of new picture and video comments? =]

While the new features are fantastic!, it's extremely slow and a bit glitchy! My friend has a room open on Friends Only, he's on my friends' list and I can't access it!
I hope you are getting a larger server to run on because Stickam's uberslow with all the new settings. Sometimes the pages won't even load.

You should add the search bar to the navigation. Maybe move it to the header somewhere. Also the whole left navigation is VERY wide.. seems like its taking a good 40% of the main page and should take no more than 30% if that.

I think you guys want to look at the top of your page where it says "Sing Up".
*ahem*
That'll be all.
