    Default Changes Coming on ShortWingPipers.Org!

    Howdy folks!

    I have been working behind the scenes for a month or so to update a bunch of things on the website. Most of these things you don't even see as they have to do with membership infrastructure. However, there will also be quite a few things you see.

    The major difference is going to be how folks join and renew their memberships, which should be much easier now, and our ability to manage them should be improved. Along with this easier ways to get help with your passwords, etc. has been updated.

    Your membership support, and the support of our advertisers, is what keeps the lights on here. We greatly appreciate that and want to make it as easy as possible for you to show that support. We also want to recognize those who have gone "above and beyond" in their support of the site. You will see a new set of membership flags associated with membership.

    The heart of shortwingpipers.org (the discussion forums) will stay much the same with a few added features - so don't panic!

    Thanks again for supporting shortwingpipers.org!

    How about that little logo like at the bottom of the SC dot org pages where you mouse click back to the opening page?

    At the bottom of each page there is already what you want. >>>> Contact ShortwingPipers.org Home Archive Top

    Click on ShortwingPipers.org Home and you go the Home (Opening)Page
    Click on Top and it takes you to the Top of the page you are on.
    Also in the Quick Navigation Menu Box Click on the downward pointing Diamond and from the menu that drops down you can select FORUM Home plus a bunch more.
    Finally, your browser upper left corner has a left pointing arrow that you can use to "walk back" through previously viewed pages in the reverse sequence from where you are.
    Not to let an opportunity go by, as a suggestion, it would be beneficial to add to the moniker where you have Staff, Follower, Member ETC. categories of expertise:
    example, DER, A/P , A/P& IA, Master Rebuilder, CFI. maybe a trade certification, like master welder, airplane related business owner. ETC

    Thanks for the effort.

    Hi Homer,

    Thanks for pointing out those options. Regarding specializations, we currently have a place in the signature line where people could place these and I agree it might be helpful.

    I have a HUGE list to get through still, once I do that I will be more amenable to making other enhancements and review this again.

    Thanks
