Chris Parsons, Nicole Way, and I have been working hard to prepare this web site for launch. Part of that process is giving you a chance to see it - and giving us your (constructive) thoughts, questions, and suggestions. Please let us know what you think.
If you are a GCC member, we've created an account for you. However - you will have to set the password. Go to Request Password, enter your user name (your first and last name) or your email, and press the E-mail new password button.
In spite of what it says, the mail does not have a password. Instead, it has link that you follow to login and set your password.
Once logged in, you can see menu items only available to members - and you can view and edit your user information - including your phone numbers and address.
I love the new format and the visual design. Nice work!
Just found a small bug: the Subject for a Comment is not displayed, only the Comment itself is shown.
As I work as a webmaster in my day job, I can easily say that overall, this new beta site is a vast improvement. The design is much cleaner and easier to use. Looks solid from my iPad.
One thing I notice is that the site doesn't seem to be using much in the way of keywords for Search Engine Optimization outside of "curling seattle." I wouldn't be able to help much until I am back in the country in early October, but I can certainly help out with SEO if GCC is interested in boosting web traffic.
...also, when posting my last comment, "Save" is a confusing term to use for the button that posts your comment. It makes me think that this button saves it for later and that I can't post. The text for this button should be changed to "Post" or "Add Comment" or "Post Comment", etc.
After my second comment I just posted, I went to the nav bar to click Contacts. As is typical with the iPad, the first click reveals the dropdown menu. However, what it also did was take me to an anchor at the bottom of this page. Weird bug! I had to scroll back up to then make my choice in the dropdown menu.
I set up a site for Sustainable Magnolia, and I have to say that I really like the clean look of the new GCC. Since is the front door to the club for most people, I think we'll see a lot more new members and a better informed membership in general.
THANKS!
Minor niggle: don't spell check the new password fields.
It would be nice to reverse the sort order of comments (most recent first), or provide a toggle for sort order
Two questions:
Are we going to have real forums at some point for member discussions?
Secondly, I've heard rumours that somebody has plans for how to build one's own delivery crutch, but I can't find 'em on the website. Are they here? It'd be great to see a resources section somewhere...

detailed directions on how to build your own delivery device (crutch) just added to the Equipment section.
I've added an equipment exchange forum. What others would you like to see?
I'm afraid I don't know how to configure forums (yet) to reverse the order.
