We now changed the font size of the topic headlines on the home.

It should be better visible now, since it also has more space between the lines.

We kept the forum name smaller, so it will have more attention on just the headline.

Is there any fix to stay logged in? I frequently have to log in again even though I clicked remember.

Please Toby, tell your programmer to add some margin between the buttons and the text. And make all buttons the same size (very easy by adjusting the padding) :wink:
button adjusted!

Yes I saw that. But not so "easy" for me.

Accessing 'User Control Panel' always requires me to sign-in again (even though I'm already signed-on!) and then click through several more pages to get to the list of my bookmarks.

For those of us in remote locations with poor bandwidth this process can take 15-30 sec or more - not a pleasant experience and not "easy".

It would be much easier to have a link to my bookmarks under 'Quick links'! Isn't that the purpose of 'Quick links' ???

Shouldn't there be a link to 'My Bookmarks' under 'Quick links' ??? That would be great. Currently I'm not seeing an easy way to view my bookmarks - am I missing something?
In the User Control Panel, where you manage your complete profile, you will find all of this.

Click on your user name on top right and then User Control Panel and you will see all your tools.
Pretty easy to me ;-)

Hi Toby,
Take a look at this screen shot of "Sessions Logs" section (it's the first time I enter)... Do you think it's useful? About 90% of all entries are yours.

Regards!

I know, that's why we took it out form home already, and also will do on the menu soon.

Only this will be in menu:

- Forums
- Videos (link to video forum)
- Spots

But I will still keep using the session log for me personally. It gives me good data.

I'd merge Board Builders and Hydrofoil Builders into Builders/Construction (or Gear Builders)
There are topics on bar design, checkenloop replacement, kite construction which naturally belong to the same place
