Well since we have overhauled our website there is bound to be some bugs and feedback. Please provide any feedback you have about the website, good or bad. Also please report any bugs that you may come across and we will address them as soon as possible.

One note about the Downloads section, all the files have not been re-uploaded to this section yet but we will be working on this and hope to get all the files back as soon as possible since we are now live with the new version of the website.

We have found an issue with some of the urls that were posted prior to our new version. These urls include /forums/ in the url which we are no longer using. I am in the process of trying to resolve this issue, hopefully I will be able to find a viable solution so we don't loose all these links that have been created. Definitely not a show stopper, but it would be nice to have them fixed.

Love the facelift of the site!! It looks like a totally different site. I also like the additional features the site has. I can't wait to add to my profile. Keep doo'ing it!

I believe we have resolved the url issues, please let us know if you run into any issues with old urls that have been posted in topics prior to the new version of the website.

Well all of our downloads should be re-uploaded in the downloads section now. Please use this link "Report this file as broken" in the specific file you are trying to download if you experience any issues.

Well not sure if anyone noticed this missing, but I have added back the year, model and engine of your doo in your signature. Please let me know if anyone see any strange issues going with the signatures or any other database query errors that may be related to this.

Looking for some feedback, overall how does everyone feel about the changes and new design of the website? Is there anything that you would still like to see changed or have a request for something that you would like added?

hi kevin

for some reason i keep having to log myself back in? will this site allow me to reamin logged in or is this in my browser settings - other than that the site looks and feels great - does the view new posts page also show new uplaods into the gallery or is it just posts?

[Kevin Leclair]

It should remember you, see the screenshot below and make you have the checkbox checked to remember you when you login. It remembers my login, I use the website regularly from 4 different computers and all of them seem to remember me. If you still have issues try checking your cookie settings for you browser. What browser and version are you using?

Thanks!
I got the tire mount from Harbor Freight Tools. There's a local store here. I think I paid less than $20.

By the way, how come I could not create an album with my account?

Thanks for the heads up on the spare tire mount.

As far as the galleries go thanks for pointing this out, the permissions were off for creating "User Galleries". I have believe I have fixed this issue now so your should be able to create your own album(s) in your user gallery.

There are two ways to create a user gallery. First way, go to your "My Controls", look for the "Invision Gallery" header on the left column and then click the "Your Albums" link or click here, http://seadoosportbo...o...&req=albums, to go there directly. Second way, go to the Gallery, click on the "User galleries" heading, and then click the "New Album" image button in the right hand corner above the albums or click here, http://seadoosportbo...o...eq=sc&cat=1, to go there directly.

COOL! Thanks for the info. However, it takes a looooong time to upload a picture. Is that normal? Huhm- maybe it's my cable internet service that is slow?

You're welcome.

It shouldn't take long to upload a picture, on average some of the pictures I have uploaded have between 2 - 5 mb a piece and they upload relatively quickly. What is the size of the images you are trying to upload? Also I would check to see what kind of upload speed you are getting, it could be your ISP is real slow on upload, http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/, pick the server closest to where you live to run the test.

I have also added the ability to "bulk" upload images, you should see a new image button called "Bulk Upload". This will allow you to upload 10 pictures at a time, see if this helps.

Also to put this post back on topic, that is a great looking cover you got there!

Thank you! Well, I did the test..5863kbps dwnld/ 471 upld. Time Warner said it's in normal range! The max I can have is 6000kbps & 500kbps according to tech support. Anyway, it's still taking me about 10 seconds to open a webpage/topic from this site. Anybody having the same slow internet connection with Roadrunner or Time Warner? Sorry..kinda off the topic....

[Kevin Leclair]

Can you do me a favor and test the load times of the website from your connection?

I have tested and here is what I am getting:
http://tools.pingdom...u...f&id=426960

Once you test go back to the main page, http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/, look in "Latest tests" and click the link for the url you tested. There should be a link at the bottom called "Permalink to this test:", need to be sure it includes "id" in the url so I can see your test. Can you post it here once you have been able to run the test?

Also what browser do you use? I found that Safari, http://www.apple.com/safari/, typically loads websites much faster for me so this is what I prefer to use.

You can also give Google Chrome, http://www.google.com/chrome, a try which was released yesterday, this browser is fast!

Any chance of getting a seadoosportsboats.com MOBILE site? I cannot access the forums from my Palm smartphone. The page will try to load but locks up every time. Just an idea....

Thank you,
STEPHEN X-20

[Kevin Leclair]

This is definitely something that we are currently looking at doing, we hope to roll out some mobile form of the website over the next couple of months.

[Kevin Leclair]

Stephen,

We have launched a mobile version of the website today, http://seadoosportbo...om-goes-mobile/. Thanks for your feedback regarding this and let us know how things look when viewing the website on your Palm.
