For those of you who don't already know, the test site is at www.iwindsurf.co.uk/mambo/ I'm thinking that when it gets a bit nearer we should offer exclusive previews to help test it to our more frequent visitors. Things still to do on the new site. [ul]
[li]Create a sailors log component
[li]sort graphics out
[li]Add a comments component and transfer data from existing site
[li]add 'submit' component for stories/articles
[li]Add modules for front page to give latest additions to components
[li]transfer gallery
[/ul] any others ?

Hi Guys,
Shawn I'm hoping you can now see this - let me know
I've got the sailors logs/equipmet transfer sorted more - may require some tidying up?
graphics will be last
added comments component - need to sort transfer of old data
noticed submit component is part of the package - doh!
haven't looked at modules for front page yet.
gallery should be no problem - but can't practice....
I've noticed a new problem that the existing forum posts use 'bbcode' extensively where new forum uses 'boardcode' so I'll need to do a find and replace on all 3700+ posts........
need bed now, more tomorrow ?
Simon

Hey Bert (said in the usual fashion)
Yep - seen it. I can start posting 4casts on it now if it's ready? (hopefully a tad more accurate than this w/e forcasts turned out). I'm also thinking of incorporating a 'reliability factor' so's to let people know how much agreement there is between the various forcasts available - to cover for wild inaccuracies, like this w/e, and hopefully relieve me of too much blame, and avoid the hitman contracts.

Hi all,
I reckon it's probably going to be another week or two at least before we're ready with the new site.
I'm stuck in sheffield this weekend I think (Saturday at least) so may get some progress then.
I'll check with the wife but maybe Sat 7th ?
After that if we want to do it on a Saturday night - best time in my view - it would be the weekend after Chris's wedding - 21st.
So Shawn don't worry about new site yet just let us know any comments,
I hope to get lots of modules up there tonight along with comments, will leave a post here with progress later.

Gents I reckon that we aim to do this around the second aninversary of the site which is late Aug.
Reckon we really need to look at new site and use it ourselves for a short period, so we don't put anyone off with something we haven't tested.
I think the new version will be fantastic and the new forums should be capable of taking images for your forecast, Shawn.
Some things I think we need to consider - apologies Si if you've got them covered,
Avatars for users - can we take them across from the existing site
- should we add a load of windsurfing avatars & ladies in bikinis as
per FON (Shawn - NO)
Can we on 'first' logon force people to update any additional user info we specify
Sailors log - can we force in actual log date rather than the date the _script_ runs
Rationalise the News categories if required
My kit in the logs seems to be in twice (_script_ ran twice?)
I'm off to the States next week on business, but will post any further comments before I go (lighting the blue touch paper and standing well back as it were)
Ian.

Had a quick look at the new site, first thing that hits me is the size. The current site uses the full width of the browser. The new site look to be a fixed width, can this be changed
