Yep – I’ve gotten that request from someone else too. It’s on the list.

It’s likely going to be put between the “Instruction” section and the “Merch” section.

Might be cool to try to set up that same event and add the results to that study. Anyone have a gymnasium and a zipline?

All of the webcams are now back up on the weather page.

Still working with the appropriate parties on getting the AJX and Crestline weather stations pointed to the right place, but those should be along very soon.

Having an image rotator (several images that cycle through) is bad for load times, since all of those photos need to be downloaded when you visit the page.

We ARE definitely open to having you all submit photos to use there though, and we’d love to swap them out regularly.  Since it’s the most prominent photo on the entire site (first thing everyone sees when they go to crestlinesoaring.org), we wanted to make sure that we were being inclusive of both wing types, so I think photos with both HGs and PGs would be preferred.

Also, when looking at shots that you have to submit, try playing around with scaling and cropping it (try cropping it so it’s quite wide) – if you resize your browser on your computer, or look at the site on your phone, you’ll notice that all of the photos resize to accommodate whatever screen you’re using. The one that’s up now fits that space particularly well since the HG and PG remain nicely visible at all screen sizes. Just something to consider.

Also, I don’t think any of us want to spend our time combing through the forums to find nice photos to post on the homepage, so if you have one that you want posted, send us an email at info@crestlinesoaring.org. That gets checked often.

Ok – if I’m reading the above right, we’re looking to sort the main forum listing (and each forum’s list of topics) chronologically (by whichever has had the last topic/reply posted). Will work on that today.

As for sorting all of the replies chronologically, that will seriously mess with nested replies (I think that will completely break that functionality). Seems like we would have to choose one or the other, and personally, I think being able to reply directly to another reply (and see it visually) has value. What I think we should try first is enabling that other column (the one I posted the screenshot of above), which provides a link directly to the last reply. We can try that out as a group for a while and see if it fills the need.

Sound ok?

Here’s another thing we can do – if you find it more useful to see when the last reply was made next to a forum or topic, we can turn that on and turn off the other 2 columns (the number of topics and number of posts). Here’s what your post would look like in the list:

Let me know if you’re a fan of that and we can turn that on.
