[ini88]

People actually do care about design! Looks great!

Thinking more about your site, I don't visit it very often, but the few times I have, it's been in hope of seaching for a past article. I have every issue of OJ, but a searchable, topical index of articles, news, and products, by issue date/volume would be very helpful.

I've thought the same thing.

Scott, here's a link to how Wooden Boat does it: http://www.woodenboat.com/wbmag/idx/ I use their search quite a bit and I suspect as my OJ collection grows I'll want to use it here as well.

Looks and feels great U3! 'Principally' saying

Nice site guys.

Web page layout and graphics look good. (I like lots of white space.)

The page width looks like it will work OK on most laptops and netbooks, as well as desktop machines. However, the text is microscopically small when one first views the page using an iPhone. About the only element that's comprehensible is the large home.jpg image.

It might be useful to track visitors to the web site to see how many use mobile devices to view the page. Then you could decide if it's worth the time and energy to create an alternative, simple one column layout for mobile devices.

The site looks great, but the store link is not working.

that is a great idea!

I have looked at the old site several times looking for a master index for Overland Journal, would come in very handy.

Would be great to organize the ExPo gear and discussion threads in the same manner! Would make finding things much simpler, easier, more complete and comprehensive!

Dammit...I've got work to do here!

Looks great, I'm sure I'll find time this evening to enjoy it more

 

[off-roader]

Kudo's! Love the new site.

 

[Ruffin' It]

I dare say...

Sexy. That is a very nice site.

 

[Willman]

Way to go!

I am also having problems with the store link and the subscription link. I really need to renew my subscription or I'm going to be in trouble.

In the past few days we have had a few isolated incidents of people having trouble with our online store (however it is still working for most customers), and we are currently working on getting this resolved. In the meanwhile you can place an order over the phone if you'd like: 928-777-8567, ext. 5

Yeah it is really strange. The Subscription and store page come up for about a second and then go blank. I'll call you tomorrow.

We have solved the mystery surrounding the sometimes-not-working online store. It was an issue regarding the SSL Globalsign image and Windows IE users. No Mac users were harmed during this event.
