... I'll have the new design uploaded in 2 weeks with major issues resolved... hopefully before the end of this month.
Great news! I hope it takes off; at present there isn't much coverage, but let's hope that changes!

Bhavdeep,
Just checked out the upgrades, very nice. Thanks for including the "location delete" function, I definitely needed that! You're doing an awesome job with the website. Thanks again.

Hey I was just on Scope Buddies. Thanks for doing this, I was just the other day thinking we need something like this. What an excellent idea, and as a web designer and user experience consultant, kudos to the design and concept.
Let's hope it catches on, and CN helps by spreading the word to other forums, not just here in the beginner's forum.

Just checked it out and I agree, new format is great! Hopefully more people will get registered.
That might be an idea to propose to the CN brass... During the registering for new users have an option if they want to register for this as well. Might be good for newbs to easily see who's in their area for info on good dark sites or equipment etc. should that immediate person not be actively scanning the Beginners Forum which is probably where a newb would first start asking such questions.
Or ask if they will broadcast an email to all users to let them know about this. I'm sure there are a lot of users that don't scan the Beginners Forum.
Just a couple ideas.

Hey Ryan, that is a great idea. It does surprise me that more don't sign up.
