It’s hard to believe it’s almost a new decade, and with 2010 just around the corner it’s time to get celebrating the holiday season. There’s plenty happening around the Envato network of sites, read on to find out about it all!

A lot has happened within the last twenty four hours, and, understandably, there’s a lot to take in! If you have a few moments, why not view this screencast and learn about some of the new features in the marketplace redesign that we’re all really excited about? When finished viewing, don’t forget to leave a comment, via the forums, and let us know your thoughts!

In the last three years our Envato Marketplaces (FlashDen, ThemeForest, GraphicRiver, AudioJungle and VideoHive) have grown like gangbusters, with big communities, huge libraries of files and lots of activity. So when we set out to redesign them earlier this year everyone on the team knew it was going to be big. What we didn’t realise was HOW big it would eventually get! Today it gives me great pleasure to show you …

Yes it’s here! After many months of work the new design of the marketplaces has arrived! We’ll have a complete launch post up later today with details of all the new features. But for now, feel free to go racing around the marketplaces and take a gander at it all. We’ve got a thread on the forums for reporting bugs and we’ll be tidying up everything that comes through there asap. Enjoy!
For those of you who haven’t yet checked it out in the newsletter or forums, we’ve leaked a couple of screenshots of the redesigned forums – check out the screenshots below!
As you all know, the Envato marketplaces are going through an extensive redesign which we’ll be launching by the end of this month.
Besides giving the sites a bit of a facelift, we’ve done our best to take on board as much of your feedback as possible, and added many new features in order to make the marketplaces even better! 
I wanted to give everyone a ‘sneak peek’ of what you can expect, so here’s a couple of screenshots based on our new and improved Forums.
We hope you like them, and we wanted to say a special ‘thank you’ to everyone who’s supported us and given us great feedback over the years!
We’re all working hard to add the finishing touches, but you can expect the grand unveiling by the end of the month. Stay tuned!
When we set out a couple of months ago planning a way to say thank you to all our buyers here on the Envato marketplaces, there was one really stand out idea. It was put forward by our very savvy AudioJungle site manager ScottWills who suggested a fantastic bundle deal. It was a cool idea, but I don’t think anyone here at Envato HQ every expected it to be such a runaway success!
The most immediate consequence is we will definitely be running Birthday Bundles every year in August from now on. So if you enjoyed this bundle there will be more to come next year!

It’s here! The beginning of the 3 day Envato 3rd Birthday celebrations! As of right now you can grab our Birthday Bundle jam packed with $300 worth of some of the best selling files on the marketplaces for a ridiculously low $20. This is an AMAZING deal which will only be online for 3 days during the birthday celebrations, so don’t delay, grab it NOW!
Packed into the bundle are no less than 37 items from across all five marketplaces, including items like Maximus’ top selling WordPress theme “Convergence”, VectorFlower’s “ZOOM / PAN CONTROLS” and Parker & Kent’s “AS2 XML Elegant Portfolio”. These are some extremely popular files at full price, but for three days only you’ll get them along with 34 others for less than the price of Convergence on its own.

We have been getting a LOT of requests from buyers wanting a licence to use files in products for resale, so we’ve made one!
The licence is called the Single Use Conditional Resale Permitted Licence ["Conditional Resale"]. You can read about it here:
http://activeden.net/legal/licences
Right now every author is automatically opted-out, so you will need to opt in if you wish to sell your files under this licence (see instructions below).
The Conditional Resale licence allows a file to be used in an item for resale, and it’s priced at 50 times the cost of a standard single use licence.
So for instance, you could buy this licence if you wanted to:
1. Put a GraphicRiver graphic on a t-shirt for sale in a store.
2. Put a FlashDen preloader into a Flash theme for sale.
3. Put a VideoHive video and an AudioJungle loop into software that would allow people to make their own custom video with music.
4. Put a ThemeForest theme into software that would allow people to create intranets.
How Do I Opt-In?
If you wish to offer your file under this licence, all you need to do is:
1. Go to your Account page.
2. Go the the Edit tab.
3. Click on Item Licences.
4. Click the boxes next to the licence name to opt-in.
5. Press Save!
If you have any questions support will be happy to answer them!
The Envato marketplaces have reached a new milestone – we’ve surpassed 200,000 members!
It feels like only yesterday that we were celebrating 100,000 members. In fact, it was less than 3 years ago that we celebrated our very first member!
Our 200,000th member, Adreher, has been credited with US$200 to spend on the marketplaces as a little thank you for joining us. Thank you to everyone who’s joined us to buy files, sell work, or just contribute to the community.
On August 21st Envato will be 3 years old, and we have a big celebration planned (hint: authors will be especially happy with this one)! So stay tuned, and here’s to the next 100,000 members!
