We need test drivers!

Please help us out by looking around, clicking on links, and just generally using the new website as you would the old. if you find any bugs, please let us know by replying to this message.

Thank you, and enjoy the new website!

The new site looks great, I like it. On the Home page it appears that you should be able to click for "More Info>" but it doesn't take you anywhere. Is that because it just a test site and the Premium Membership is not available yet? I understand that there will be some glitches but it looks great and I'm looking forward to see what the Premium Membership has to offer.

When I tried to post the reply on the new site I got an error.

Thanks for the feedback!

The button is still not linked yet. I still have to write the article that it links to. Ultimately that will be a rotating banner that displays news about the website, similar to the current homepage, except without using Flash.

Can you reproduce the message posting error, and if so, can you send me the exact error message?

Thanks again for your help!

Regards,
Jonathan

The error message was at the bottom left corner of the window. It was the yellow triangle with ! and next to it was "Error on Page"

No facility for private messages

Pgruener:

The yellow triangle usually represents a Javascript error, the details of which are not typically divulged by most modern browsers unless you ask for them. The way to do that, in most cases, is to either click or double-click on the triangle. Thanks, by the way -- I really appreciate your help.

Terence:

An improved messaging system, which will include private messages, is fairly high up on my punch list. But it will be after the launch of the new site. I have a handful of things left to do before launch, which shouldn't take too long. I'm aiming to be ready by September 1, however since I will be out of town from the 5th though the 10th, I'm going to try to do the actual reveal on Monday Sept. 12.

The messaging overhaul is a big project, and will probably be a month or two in the making. Hopefully before the end of the year...
