Travel log board

[MeCasa]

I'd like to see a board where people can log their day to day progress when on a trip. I like reading about people's experiences and it allows us to ask questions pertinent to specific locations.

Thanks for building a great forum

Currently there are the Travellers Stories / Blogs - see menu on left. Currently though you can't ask questions directly, give us some time and we'll have that, we're working on the questions part with new software, but it's slow going along with everything else.

I'm not in any hurry, I appreciate the hell out of what you've done.

No hurry here

Me next week.....




PS: I can't do it but I love the people who document their trips...

Good reading

The website is wonderful and the information is extremely interesting and useful!
I do however believe that because the website looks fairly disorganized that it does not encourage people to pay membership dues.

My concern though is with the layout. How it stands currently, it makers navigation difficult. I would suggest having a drop down menu at the top of the page. The menu bars should contain (in general) the information that is sitting on the left side of the page currently.

Another consideration that I would offer is that another way of segregating posts is by region. What would be useful and "fun" would be to have a simple world map that each region or continent highlights when scrolled over. When accessing the highlighted region it would sort to information relevant to the area.

I have several other ideas, just let me know if you are interested.

Thanks

Hi,

all thoughts appreciated! And we agree! The site has been as is for many years - it was once "cutting edge!" dull knife perhaps...

See the Design Team form: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/designteam

and you can be a part of the massive redesign / upgrade in progress right now!

Note we're moving house this week, so I'll be a little slow getting back to you.

cheers,
