Thanks, all of the above sounds good, photos and race results keep visitors coming back. Have you looked at the US J/24 page? Being a longtime J/24 member (new to the J/30) I find that web page very good and easy to work with.

Steve, thanks for the feedback. I have too basic problems to solve: (1) I am hesitant to post Zephyr photos as I do not want this web site to be to "Zephyr" biased. I am a member of the Zephyr program, but also a member of the J/30 team, so want to be 100% neutral. The Zephyr program's photographer, Matt Garrett has mailed be a CD with some good photos. I will review. 90% of the photos are of Zephyr/Blitz. Next year, we'll have more photographers at various spots on the course. (2) No one provided any "non Zephyr" photos to me. I will however, look for a J/30 photos from previous years. Here is one of my favorites. The photo is from last year's N/A. http://NOYC.org/images/2002j30NA1a.jpg How about a photo contest? I am looking for more FTP/Web space now. Bob, I noticed some old information on the For Sale.Wanted page. On future posts, I want to include the date posted. We're sending e-mails and will call everyone to ensure the page is accurate and current. We'll convert the For Sale/Wanted page to a database and SPAM proof design. Did you have some J/30 photos from 2003? If so, I'll take a CD. Thanks!

David, if you are looking for photos of J/30's in action, I have some on our web site: www.defiantracing.com . In addition, I too am looking to move providers for hosting my web site. I have recently come across a hosting provider that offers large storage for a reasonable monthly charge: www.deltawebhosting.com . $6/month for FREE domain name, 1000MB disk space, 20GB monthly transfer, unlimited subdomains, 1000 pop3 accounts, CGI, PHP, MySQL, plus much more. For ideas, you could really put everything in a Message Board area (Rules, For Sale, Events, Photo Gallery, etc) and have moderators for each section. I have time that I am able to donate should you ever have the need for addition crew to work on the site. Bernie Kucharski bkucharski@defiantracing.com J/30 Defiant - Hull #23 www.defiantracing.com

OK, I have drafted a potential web page format for the class. http://www.j30.org/indexnew.html Please provide feedback. We're rotating 7 photos on the front page as it changes each time you access the page to provide fresh content. If everyone could mail me (dave@ NOYC.org) that single favorite photo, I'll place in the rotation. I added a voter poll. The subject is subject to change. I simply wanted to demonstrate. The new design is much easier to maintain. I want to find a graphics artist to develop a class logo to include the J/30 graphics surrounded by Class Association in white over a blue circle. I do not like the look of the top section. Here is an example: http://www.j80.org/images/j80int128.jpg Special thanks to Matt, Dennis and Bob for coming this far to improve the current design. Special thanks

NO POP UP'S,NOTHING FLASHING, NO SCAMS how much longer will it take to load? SW takes forever even with DSL. Does the class need the money? Is it enough money to make it worth it? Do any other classes have advertising?

All good points. NO POP UP'S,NOTHING FLASHING, NO SCAMS I TOTALLY AGREE How much longer will it take to load? Long the first time. It is cached in your browser for visits 2-999. SW takes forever even with DSL. What is SW? Does the class need the money? I don't know. Is it enough money to make it worth it? If the class needs additional funding, yes. It would also be another venue or selling point to attract sponsors for MidWinters and NAs. Sometimes sponsors look for media value including Internet exposure. Do any other classes have advertising? http://www.usaj22.com/ but more common in Europe. They do a better job of marketing the sport of sailing over seas. Hey, I am simply asking to obtain opinion. Thanks, Dave

I noticed that the original bulletin board is back.
Is there any chance that messages posted on the interrim bulletin board are archived anywhere?

We're looking to transfer the current J/30 Forum to newer software that provides more capabilities. The current software used on this forum hasn't been supported for a few years. It is Ultimate Bulletin Board Version 5.44b. There are a number of free software packages available, and the phpBB 3.0 software looks pretty nice. I installed it on our web server so people can look at it and provide feedback. It will allow posting of pictures and files, personalized avatars, and CAPTCHA authentication for new registrations to prevent spambots from hijacking the forum (the problem we had just over a year ago). Here are some of the features, and ideas for using it: We'll be able to move the "For Sale" section off the web page and make it so people can post and maintain their own entries with pictures on the forum. We'd build some templates so that basic information is included in each "for sale" posting. - Members will be able to send mail to each other via the forum.
- You can setup custom signatures with links and display an avatar.
- You can easily post pictures, links and attach files. (We'd set a limit on size).
- We can setup polls and take votes. Private groups can be setup to accommodate things like Board of Governor meetings.
Look at the link below and provide comments. You can register and try posting if you like, although this is still the official class forum. Anything you post may get deleted as we setup the board further. I'd really like to find a translator so we can convert this old board seamlessly to be part of a new board. If anyone knows of a translator from UBB 5.44b to phpBB3, please let me know. New bulletin board trial link: J/30 Class Bulletin Board Thanks, Bill Kneller [This message has been edited by Rhapsody #348 (edited 01-02-2009).]

This weekend there were a few updates to the class web page that should be helpful. Class Rules: The official J/30 Class rules are now available to view online without having to load the Adobe PDF files. When you select from the top menu "Class", then "Class Rules" you are taken to the new page with the class rules, by-laws and specifications available for direct viewing. Downloadable PDF files are available there for printing. There are also links to print older versions of the class rules. Docklines is now Calendar: "Docklines" is no longer on the menu. This has been inactive for some time. Instead "Calendar" now appears on the menu in that spot. This opens the Calendar on our new Forum. Feel free to populate the calendar with events. Note that if you make a new forum posting with the description of the event, you have the option to also include it on the calendar for the date you specify. This means you only need enter the item once in the forum, select the date, and it appears both in the forum and on the calendar. Photos: This had some broken links that were fixed. There is a new Photo section on the forum that will probably take the place of this in the long term. A link to the Photo Forum has been included on the Photos page. Everybody needs to post photos of the J/30 events! Let me know if there are any other updates desired.

Thanks for the note. The Hosting ISP has a problem and I'll submit a trouble ticket. You can get Carl's email from this page: http://www.j30.org/html/fleets/board.html or on his forum profile. Update 8:03am - ISP restarted the server so class database is working again.

Users now have the ability to store links to their Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Linked In pages. These appear as small social media icons when a user's profile is displayed. To display a profile, all you need to do is click on the user's forum name, either from the User List in the menu, or on any forum post by that user.
To update your profile with these social media links, click on My Stuff, then click on Edit Profile.
