    Tim,

    Looks good. This suggestion is probably late in the game, noticed the absence of an FAQ on the upcoming home page. I know you were collecting questions earlier in the year, so there may be plans just not revealed yet.

    If not has the "web team" considered deploying a wiki ... http://www.twiki.org/ . Basically this is an on-line collaboration tool that can be used for building an FAQ repository as well as other things. The nice part about it is the community can participate and it doesn't fall on the shoulders of a single individual to keep it up to date.

    This is basically the same tool that the Wikipedia free Encyclopedia uses.


    Personally I look forward to the roll out of the new website, and am enjoying what I see so far. Well done.

    Cheers
    Ben

        Patience everyone, patience. There is a "Frequently Asked Questions" and we are seriously considering a Wiki to use for our submarine database. My screengrab software wouldn't grab the whole window so the FAQ didn't show.

          Good stuff. If you do decide to go the wiki way and deem you need some help, don't be afraid to tap me on the shoulder.

              Hi Ronald,

              hmmmm....that is right. I didn't notice that before. That's how this new forum software works. I'll see if we can add a modification to (re-)create this capability.

              -many thanks!

                  Can you send me a copy of your avatar? I don't think your avatar was modified during the migration, but I'd like to compare to make sure.

                    Sorry to be taking up

                    Sorry to be taking up space here, gents, but for whatever reason my ability to upload photos to the forum is not yet functioning. This, then, is a second experimental attempt.

                    Thanks,

                        Hey, it WORKED!

                        Okay, warning message

                        Hey, it WORKED!

                        Okay, warning message to any Mac users reading: The problem is/was apparently Apple's Safari browser. It wouldn't work, but when I switched over to an old version of MS Internet Explorer, as above, it uploaded just fine -- even in Mac byte order configuration instead of PC order.

                        Thanks for your patience,
