I have set up this new thread in order to assemble everyone's wish list for future developments. A separate thread is to report bugs.

Appearance on this list doesn't guarantee that they will happen but they will be discussed.

Phase two and three are coming along in the later in the year anyway with geo-referenced cruising information and online shopping but we are starting to accumulate some feedback which we will need to consider when we begin the post sailing season web work. Luckily most of us are heading off for a summer of non web based adventures soon so there has to be an intermission!

Things that we already have on that discussion list include:

1. A site search function
2. A possible shift of Port Officer information to the Directories
3. Possible new links to "Forum" and "Join" pages so they can be accessed directly from the home page on hand held devices. Please note this already exists on lap top versions but the software removes clutter when rendering the page for display on smaller screens

4. The possibility of developing a bespoke parallel website to give optimal display on any screen size thus avoiding the above issues of rendering
5. More Add polling and slide show functionality to the Gallery pages
6. Rename the link to the Forum as "Forum" rather than "Cruising Forum" as this is known to have confused several.
7. Presently the small screen rendering process makes it impossible to add an a attachment to a Forum post

So discussion and ideas welcome. Please use this link as whilst away sailing I'm going to struggle to keep abreast of emails and I don't want things to be overlooked or missed.

A suggetsion from Jeremy Firth in Tazmania:
"On another matter, if you get asked about minor improvements to the new website, it would be nice if the character font used for the data base lists (Members, Boats, New Members etc) was a little bolder. My 75 year old eyes find the characters quite faint. Otherwise, the new website is so much better"
