On behalf of all of us that worked on BWE web site upgrade:

Thank you all!

The transition went smoothly. We didn’t have a single problem report. We’re stoked about that.

Yes, the changes are quite dramatic, but hopefully it’s for the better. It will take same time to get used to it.

There are 2 cool features on the front page – Random Whopper image and FrontPage posts… For both of those to work, images have to be uploaded in BWE Photo Gallery. PLease help us utilize these 2 features by uploading your fishing pictures in BWE member gallery. Every registered user can now upload pictures. It is very simple – click on Gallery, choose
Upload Photos.... Browse to your photo(s), click Upload… Piece of cake.

I will be posting more tips as we go…

Please do ask if you have questions about any of the forum/Photo Gallery features – we’ll do out best to help you out.

Tight lines all!!!

The pages load very quickly, even with a number of photos.

nice improvement on the site, works great on the laptop, very slow to load on the cell phone internet (cingular),, the only way for a quick mental break at work

Could you add a couple charts like moon and sun rise/set times, tides, winds? I really like the new site and was just thinking about other fishing related stuff that would be useful. I have all that available but at different sites.

Those are links not charts, you lose you geek badge for a week.

With small charts you wouldn't have to click to another site. Just an idea, it's a great site the way it is, just trying to contribute. I didn't see the moon cycles there, that is what sparked my thought. I've been trying to time my trips around moonrises and moonsets. It hasn't worked so far....

Dave!!!

You sound like my old manager…

It’s not helpful to be bringing out new ideas, unless we actually know how to go about putting them in place…

I agree, we should put more chart like stuff on the front page to make it more of a one-stop-shop portal with all the info the yak fisherman would need. The problem is – none of us who worked on the new BWE site is a true web developer…

What you see is what we’ve been able to figure out. I’m quite amazed we got it to look as it looks right now. If you know how to do it or know someone who could help us (and is willing to do it) – by all means, let us know. Keep in mind – we don’t pay…

OK, you can expect BWE shirt or hat and a ton of appreciation, but that’s about it.
