Please post features/preferences you have for the new board. Everything may not be possible but we'll try! I'd like to get a list started to have something to work from so post all ideas please. As a group we can make final choices from the list.
Thank you! Happy Holidays to you all!

Bird ID's will be very helpful to us that have trouble IDing birds. Also bird pictures. Happy New Year and thank you for taking on this project! John

I'm really looking forward to it, too! Thanks for putting this together, downylover!
Even though we won't be officially sanctioned by PFW, maybe still have a Count forum--or better yet, something like a Birding Observations forum where people could post their counts and/or birds at other times of the year and from other places.
And does it make sense to have a intro forum where new-comers could introduce themselves and we could pin some instructions for things like posting pics and editing posts?

How about a Plants folder. I enjoy showing y'all our "strange" west TX plants and I love seeing other's landscape. Would the counts work under Bird Feeding like l2b did? I like the idea of a "welcome" sort of folder where new folks could introduce themselves and a place for "how to's"

I am really loving this new sight. I have a lot of catching up to do. Great work to all that worked to get this up and running. Best of all you all can't catch my cough/virus thing. I have had it since dec 4th and it really put a dent in the holidays with most of us sick. But I got to do a lot of bird watching. Ginny H.

I think I've added everything that's been suggested. Take a look around and let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see/have changed. I'll be working on the smiley problem (there's much more there than is showing up!)

Thank You for creating this board, I'm really starting to enjoy it.

I created a thread under Count Site Discussion, perhaps we can keep all threads related to sightings there? We could have it on the main screen but I was trying to keep the number of entries there shorter so people wouldn't have to scroll and scroll. Maybe we can try first as a thread and move if needed?

Hi Downylover, one thing I wish for is a way to go to the next page from the bottom of each page like there is at the top. Right now, to go to "next" I have to scroll back to the top to click on it. Or, am I missing something that already allows this? Thanks!

Good idea Marilyn, that would be nice. In the interim you might try what I do, click anywhere at the bottom of the page (but not in the quick reply box) then press home on the keyboard. Don't have to scroll but not as good as a next button at the bottom.

Hmmm. It stays visible at the top for me as I scroll. Which browser are you guys using so that I can do some testing?
