Main Blog Updates
Just a few updates added to the blog!
The header looks really funky, it's got a new look to it and is by far the best header yet.

Also, there is a new party tracker designed by Yaniv! This tracker will tell you the upcoming parties including a countdown. So keep an eye out for it!

Epic Designs
Firstly, we have our designer Star back in the team! He is forever creating cool items for Chobots and has a lot of enthusiasm. However, some of the items he creates are inspired by your drawings! He loves them so keep posting on the forums and sending to support! Here are a few of my favourite items which have been designed recently..

Minor Updates!

Hey Chobots,

Around Chobots there has been some great updates for the Chobot world. The updates look amazing, and you will first begin to see the updates as you login! Notice that the server color bars have been changed to a nice looking blue.

Now, if you head on over to Cafe Street you will see that all of the Earth Day decorations have been removed.

And finally when you go into your wardrobe and hover over an item, you'll see it's name! This is a really neat update because if you are looking up a certain item in the market simply hover over it and it will give you the name!

When you log onto Chobots you will get a message asking you to change your passwords. This is for security purposes and making sure that everyone's account is safe.

Also, the bodies button has been updated to the "Premium Items" button! This button looks a lot more sleek and I just prefer way more over the old one. 

What do you guys think of these minor updates? I really like them, especially the "Change Your Password" message because if there's something going wrong on Chobots, they want to make sure everyone is safe and secure. Leave a comment saying what you like the most in these updates!

Stay Safe,
Captain
