What do you all think of the way the site looks and works, we've put a lot of time and effort into making it user friendly and unique at the same time.

What would you like to see added to the site or removed?

Did you all notice the switch on the main page from the fishing regulations handbook to hunting? This will be a seasonal change only.

All feedback would be appreciated.

I'm thinking that a chat balloon somewhere on top might make it more noticeable therefore creating more usage.
that and the fact that we are getting more looks every day...and that fall and winter is coming fast(yee haw) people will have more time to stop and chat.
the way it is for me is i can pop in and out for a few minutes at a time.
when the work season is done around the last week in october, i will have much more time. time to chat and time to write stories and tell you all how i screwed up this years opportunity at yet another big buck ;D

the other thing i am thinking is all of the links on the left are pretty un-noticeable.
I mean I know they are there but new users might not.
I think our sponsors might appreciate a more obvious balloon type tab for the sponsors link.
I also think our photo gallery is under-utilized.
maybe we could do something there as well?
just some ideas....
take a kid hunting and fishing!!

How about an option to view unanswered posts?

We can view new forum posts but not unanswered....

Which is unfortunate because some very good topic get overlooked sometimes and they then get lost.

The unanswered topics is a good idea, I kind of remember seeing this last week when I was browsing new packages for the forums.

I'll check again tomorrow.

Anything else? This is for the members too, we need input on what you all would like to see on the site.

I just wanted to point this option out to everyone, if you go into your profile and select "preferences" on the left hand column, you can turn on quick reply and make some other nice changes.

For dial up users, you can select to not have other members avatars appear on the site, this will help the pages load faster.

A fe other nice options are available in your profiles, browse around and set the site up the way you like.

I just wanted to try this out, but with all the new members and posts it's easy for one to get lost in the shuffle.
