Hello everyone,

Welcome to our new message boards and online community! We're glad you came.

If this is your first time to the new area, make sure to check out the Help section for some great tips on how to get started.

Cheers,

[RGluck]

Thanks!

They look wonderful!

I know it was a lot of work making the change. 

Congratulations!

The new boards look great!. It will take a few days to get used to.

Thanks for all the work Matt, and also to the others behind the scenes. This transition and the results are a vast improvement on the past two occasions. 

I've been wandering around using my netbook. It looks pretty good so far. I'll get a better idea later on the PC.

Do you want glitches here or on a new topic? Just one for now. We could do with a lot more prominence on the diabetes.org home page. The embedded link under Connect With Others works but the one under this section does not:: Message Boards

Thanks again.

Alan,

If you are referring to the Messageboards link in the red ribbon at the very top of the page at diabetes.org it worked for me just now.  Perhaps it has been fixed already.

Yep. It looks like it was fixed while I slept your day away.

I still believe we need more prominence on that page.

 Yes, I'm confirming that we updated those links in the late AM yesterday (and many others on d.org) to send people over without error.

I also think we could stand to have more prominence, but we do have TWO links at the top of the page. That's pretty good. Not to mention a left-rail link on ALL content pages and some right-rail and footer slider promotions. We're getting a good amount of traffic.

With the main page, we have quite a task as the Digital Content team to balance and meet the interests/needs of the many programs and initiatives here at the Association. I hope you and others can understand that it's tough to do!

Cheers,

 May I suggest just one, for now, that may not be difficult or take up much space?

Consider adding "Web Forum" to the "In My Community" list:

• • Calendar of Events
  • Community Programs
  • Diabetes EXPOS
  • African American Programs
  • Latino Programs
  • Native American Programs
• • Step Out
  • Tour de Cure
  • School Walk for Diabetes
  • Team Diabetes
  • Diabetes Camp
  • American Diabetes MonthWeb Forum

Just a suggestion.

How do I get my own photo uploaded for my avatar? And, since I was on the old boards, why would I be a Vistor now?

Thanks.
