Now I'll never know if I will become #500,000

This number is now viewable in the "Search" dropdown on the remainder of the site!

Ooh, I like!

Pretty, inviting, and well-laid out. A winner! Nice work, Adam!

HermanLee · 02-14-2009, 12:04 PM

Hi Adam,

Thanks for this new FACE!
It looks very professional.

reeftool · 02-14-2009, 12:22 PM

All I can say is WOW!
Nice job!

**Hawki** · 02-14-2009, 01:38 PM

Wonderful job ... very professional looking.

Jenzaka · 02-14-2009, 04:29 PM

Looks very nice. I lot of information links up front to help out the new people.

Wombat · 02-14-2009, 04:46 PM

Fabulous job, Adam. It really looks so outstanding, so solidly professional. The message is very welcoming and navigation is dead easy. Congrats.

clarenceclose · 02-14-2009, 06:25 PM

I like it!!!!!!!

KrisK10D · 02-14-2009, 07:01 PM

I only see the home page from work. I was pleasently surprised when it opened today. It look fantastic!

ericzb · 02-14-2009, 08:57 PM

now it's kind of looking like the "Official" thing.

By the way, very clean code.

Mechan1k · 02-14-2009, 09:42 PM

weird ... it is working again.

mattdm · 02-15-2009, 03:51 AM

Very nice!

Should the banner at the top of the page inside the forums themselves be changed to link to the front page instead of to /forums/?

And speaking of that banner, it suddenly looks dated next to the new front page.

Thanks, Adam. By the way, since I've never actually said so, let me quickly add that this forum is undoubtedly one of the best I've come across on the internet. The cosmetics, layout, and options are quite well polished. The relatively trouble-free nature of this complex forum is a testament to both your skills and your efforts to discover and resolve issues. Your ongoing friendly and competent interaction with both members and visitors is a true pleasure. Since I've managed a few websites (including several Coast Guard sites at the national level), I'm well aware of what is involved to make all this happen. So thanks once again for the considerable time and labor you've put into this great effort.
