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.

Simon

The Home Page when displayed on a computer includes on the left side links to How to Join, Forum Members. These links are not displayed when the Home page is viewed on a tablet or phone. The reader on a mobile device has to know that the three horizontal "hamburger" on the top right of the Home Page is a link to the Menu. Not all members in all counties are going to know this. I have seen a solution on other website. Display the word MENU beside the hamburger. The reader can more easily find his way to the How to Join and more. Cheers Tony
