You have a VERY nice, new "home page", although I never use it; are the Storm2K web designers planning to redo the Forum pages soon?

Thanks RP and SS! As far as a forum re-work, we haven't really discussed it but it wold be nice to have a matching color scheme for the forums... :-)

Even if we do come up with a matching style we will still offer the current templates just so people have a choice :-)

Respectfully,
And you did ask..and you know me Ticka,et al..the Truth.What am I looking at?
It looks unfinished..the huge white area where text may have gone,or a Storm picture..really anything suitable is what I refer to.
Possibly,I am looking at an old version,but I doubt it.
I'm am not the fluffy pandering type,so in the Spirit of honesty,and a Dude that has co-owned a major Wxsite,I only offer my opinion,again respectfully.
Thank You.
D.J.

For the most part I really think it is awesome. I like the warning map from State Farm, but like D.J. I find that there is a lot of empty white space on the home page.

You guys did a great job and I thank you for all of your hard worK!!!!

I must admit that I have to agree with Az on the big white area. Maybe during the season you could have a Sat pic with any current storms we are watching or areas of interest. During the off season you could have a map of US weather. I don't know.
Just my thoughts

Just so everyone knows.... we're planning to put together storm specific pages for every storm this year. Kind of a one stop shop for the current information. These will be linked from both the home page and the Weather Central. :-)

Thanks for the feedback on the Home Page.. I'm sure we can fill it up :-)

For those of you who link directly to the Messageboard you might want to reset your Favorites to the Home Page. It's only one more lick to get to the board and we don't want you to miss new stuff :-)

Thanks for you opinions DJ, wx247, deb and anyone else that replies - this is what we need to know from the users. This site is by no means complete - just think of it as work in progress.

Great job everyone!

I just wish that white space would be filled too and that the forums would be re-worked, but overall it looks awesome!

I like it. Here's my 2 cents: You should have an option to make it less conspicuous when you're at work. Maybe an option to kill all pictures and avatars, for stealth viewing at work. Right now I have the IE window squashed way down in size, but when I scroll past a picture, it's very obvious that it's not work related!

Excellant suggestion! Nothing more conspicious than a giant STORM 2K banner or dancing avatars. If your like me, the window is up and down....up and down....at quick glance it looks like a chat frame window........which is highly frowned upon.
