<em class='bbc'>--- Introduction by creativele</em><br />
<br />
Hey everyone, my name is <strong class='bbc'>creativele aka Dan</strong>.  I've been around the forum about a year, and most likely you'll see me around the shoutbox.<br />
<br />
With a new upgrade, that means some new changes.  As a designer of the 4MF Staff, I'm proud to announce two new forums as well as revamping old categories of the <strong class='bbc'>Fan Art section</strong>.  I'm aiming to revive this section in order to bring out the artistic fans out there <strong class='bbc'>that love to do graphics as much as they love 4minute</strong>.  Below are a few words about the sections:<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>Graphic Resources</strong>:  One of the greatest things in graphics is the amount of resources that can be used with photoshop or any other graphic editing programs to create something creative and new.  In here, you'll find resources made by the 4MF Graphic Designers, as well as other resources that you or other artists post.<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>Graphic Tutorials</strong>:  What better way to learn how to do graphics than to read up on some tutorials?  Take a look at these premium tutorials that can take you from being a beginner to a  professional in no time.<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>Art Battles</strong>:  It's to have some contests and fun battles again. Fun competition can bring forth new ideas, giving everyone a chance to be creative and striving to become better designers. Join our weekly contests and you can be entered to win points for some cool prizes in the future!<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>Requests</strong>: Our requests section has been lacking because of many designers having school, exams, vacations, and other matters.  I'm hoping to make this section lively for people who aren't gifted with artistic skill or do not have programs to do so.<br />
<br />
That's about it for the <strong class='bbc'>Fan Art sections</strong>.  Please check it out frequently as I'll be posting <strong class='bbc'>new topics, resources, tutorials, and doing requests along with my fellow designers</strong>.<br />
<br />
In addition to reviving the Fan Art section, I'll be working on reviving our <strong class='bbc'>Hot Issue magazine</strong> filled with news, and other information <strong class='bbc'>about 4minute and 4MF</strong>.  I hope you enjoy the new layout and new changes.<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'><span style='color: #D36152'>Forum Sidebar</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
Take full opportunity of our new sidebar which will make navigating the forum and 4minute links so much more convenient!<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'><span style='color: #D36152'>4MF Cafepress: Now Open!</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
For those of you who have been waiting and waiting and waiting and...<br />
Well, you get the point; 4MF's official Cafepress has now open!<br />
You can now get your hands on our awesome merchandise and we'll be sure to make packages for upcoming 4minute concerts!<br />
<br />
Keep a lookout for more great goodies in the future!<br />
<br />

<p class='bbc_left'>Thanks to work with IRENE, Jihyun's fancafe, we've managed to snag another autograph from our leader! This time she wrote it all in English! How cute! Let's work hard to get our collections of autographs even bigger! Thanks so much to Meeli who is our tireless liaison with all the Korean 4nias! Without her, we would never be able to accomplish this many projects!</p>]]></description>

		<link>http://www.4-minute.com/forums/topic/14129-new-upgrade/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the new and upgraded 4-minutes Forums!<br />
<br />
Overnight (or day), you may have realised that our forum has gone through a massive change as we upgraded to the latest version of IPB: IPB 3.2!<br />
This upgrade has occurred to eliminate those annoying spambots and allow for a smoother experience while on the forum.<br />
<br />
We hope that everyone can be patient with the team as we make some adjustments around the forum and implement a temporary layout.<br />
Meanwhile, have fun familiarising yourself with the new board or check out our subs account: <a href='http://www.youtube.com/user/pominitsubz/featured' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.youtube.com/user/pominitsubz/featured</a> or <a href='http://www.dailymotion.com/4minutesubs' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.dailymotion.com/4minutesubs</a>!]]></description>

This trend came as a surprise to this admin! 4MF wasn't a part of the trending project for Jihyun's birthday, we unfortunately caught on too late, so we can't exactly take credit for this! But our lovely global fansites such as 4minutethailand, 4M_SG and MY4NIA managed to get the hashtag trending worldwide! Hopefully Jihyun saw how much 4nias were supporting and showing their love for her on her special day! Today truly is Namvatar Day! Enjoy it everyone, you've worked hard! ^^</div>]]></description>

		<title>Now accepting concealed cash!</title>
		<link>http://www.4-minute.com/forums/topic/12308-now-accepting-concealed-cash/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Always wanted to donate to our forums to help out with projects or keep our site running but never had access to Paypal to do so? Well, the 4-Minutes staff is now accepting donations in the form of concealed cash! We read many comments from members who wished to donate but were not able to do so because they did not have access to bank accounts or credit cards. Now you will be able to!<br />
<br />
So, how do you donate via concealed cash? Here are some rules, tips, and instructions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'><span class='bbc_underline'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>ABOUT SENDING CONCEALED CASH</span></span></strong><br />
- When sending concealed cash to our collector(s) in America, please use only USD. Exchange your currency before attempting to mail any concealed cash.<br />
- When sending concealed cash to our collector in the Philippines, please use only pesos. Exchange your currency before attempting to mail any concealed cash.<br />
- Cover your concealed cash with several sheets of paper (colored sheets are better) or aluminum foil. Make absolutely sure that the cash will not be visible when the envelope is ready to be mailed, or it may magically "disappear" in transit.<br />
