Last night we installed a number of updated, improved features on the sites. These affect primarily the sites for Beneteau, Catalina, Hunter, Mac, and Oday, but has some impact on SBO as well.
The new stuff:
Boat Info Menu
Owner Mods
Owner Photo Albums
Owner Directory (just the by-model view)
Boat Specs
Boat Reviews
Downloads
Weekly Quiz

In addition, the site home page was moved to the forum server so it is now at http://______owners.com instead of shop._______owners.com.
The classifieds, both boats and gear, were upgraded a couple weeks ago.
Generally speaking, the new code has larger photos and fonts, should be a bit more mobile-friendly, uses a _ton_ less server overhead, and has better nav. It should also be more stable.
The owner mods got the biggest facelift, with the most important change being the ability to connect a block of text to a specific photo. So you can now write about a specific photo and provide step by step info that will be much easier to follow. (For those around before 2008, it's more like the old mods feature we had back then.)
Needless to say, a change of this magnitude will have some bugs. If you find one please either post it here or email it to phil at sailboatowners dot com. The most important thing to send is the address of the page where you found the bug. That's how I find it in the tens of thousands of lines of code.
Thanks, and be sure to check out the changes!
