A little sneak preview...

Happy Christmas everybody!

For those of you who are browsing the web between courses of turkey, here a full sneak-preview what we're launching 1st January - http://dotnet.yachtsandyachting.com/

As you'll probably tell, some sections are brand-new and some are exactly the same as the old site with a new menu at the top. The Clubs and Classifieds sections will come up with a message about the Google Maps API Key not being correct - this will correct itself once we move the site to the www.yachtsandyachting.com domain name.

The new site does not work on IE6 and only sometimes works on IE7 (depending on setup). It's fine on all other browsers that I've checked it with. At switchover time we will be making the old site available at old.yachtsandyachting.com for those who are stuck with old versions of browsers and those who prefer the old version.

Please post here or email me if you find any problems and keep giving me your feedback - positive and negative!

I hope you all have a great Christmas!

Cheers, Mark

Old versions of other browsers seem to be fine, but our stats show that most Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera users keep their browsers up-to-date so that is far less of a theoretical problem.

Well quite. IE6 users will be corporate (especially NHS and other government). No choice about updates. users of other browsers will likley be homne users who are more likley to just approve ay and all updates that get fed their way.

Should help

Originally posted by patj Some of us are stuck with IE6 at work (though I'm testing IE8 at last)  so please keep something to save our sanity in wet lunchtimes. Anyone left on IE6 now probably doesn't have the control over their system to upgrade so please don't keep nagging them on screen.

We've realised this is a real problem for some people. For that very reason, the full old version of the current (soon old) site will be available at a special URL (probably old.yachtsandyachting.com) for users of IE6 and IE7.
