The left navigation panel was always the first place I looked. Now I'm lost. I didn't respond to your questions, Joe. But then I don't take the Chevrolet drivers survey, either. That doesn't mean I don't like my car; but I'd like it less if Chevy came and took off the left fender.

There is a poll going on.
http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...pid=112731
So far, there a 14 votes to keep the Navigation Panel.
I also added a panel on the left sidebar for everyone to see how many members have logged in.
In the last 1 hour and 45 minutes, 50 members have logged in.
Well, we only have 14 votes.
So what does that tell us?
The members that didn't vote really don't care?
Or they just didn't see the post right on the front page?
If they didn't vote one way or the other, then I take that as a NO.
I have many more Stats but most of you aren't interested and that's OK.
I can show panels or stats of what the user IP is
what county, province, state they are from
what browser they use
etc., etc., etc.
It's up to all of you whether you want it or not.
I certainly don't expect all 28.000 members to vote.
But 14 is fairly slim to say the least.
I personally also like the Navigation panel. But that is only my opinion.
If only a few people wanted left fenders on their Chevy, then Chevy would no longer sell their Chevy's with left fenders as the majority didn't want them to begin with.
Just like voting for federal, state, or local politicians.
One suggestion.
If everyone wants to keep the poll active, post over there.
Otherwise the post will get lost once it leaves the front page.

While I rarely used the site map, the recent threads was my go to. I would vote for more. And while you a redesigning, adding the ability to add photos into posts would be a huge improvement. We could take another poll on that one, so as not to hijack this thread.

Didn't work out.

I voted no on the side navigation. Joe, you do a great job. Whatever you want is cool with me.

Thanks aaronm,
It is not my intention to take something away that people use and like.
However, if people don't use it or don't want it, we can do something else.
Whatever the members want for this particular item, the Navigation panel.

I would not assume that just because a member signed on and didn't vote in the navigation poll, it's a NO vote. What is telling, is that of those members that did care enough to vote, 94% voted YES.
Voter turnout does not usually count in poll results.

I guess your opinion is different.
If people don't vote, then they don't care.
There is no in between.

Bring it back - The new side bar with who is on, or has been on the site and for how long,.. is a little to BIG BROTHER (ish) This isn't facebook. Who cares?
Another note -
Site Search - Example, if i put in "1986 Outrage 18 Navigation lights" "Left Navigation" pops up in excess. Navigation being the only "key word" i still have to scroll for days to find what i'm looking for. As if it brings up most recent post using key words..?
I remember being able to have photos (thumbnails) in the post - that was great.
No disrespect -I really dig this site and appreciate all the effort(s) that Joe and the other admin have put into this.

Hi Joe,
I too liked the side navigation panel. I did not use every link, but it provided a familiar way to get to those places I was interested in.
The random whaler and random personal page was also nice, as it caught my eye and sometimes led me to look at something I would not ordinarily see.
The whaler model info link, downloads link, and parts listing link were nice to have visible on the main screen. I used these fairly often.
The biggest thing I miss is the list in the top middle showing postings I had not read yet. I know the same information is found under the discussion category heading, but having the subject and last poster right there on the main page makes this site very unique and user friendly.
I guess this feedback is a poll of sorts, but I'd be happy to participate in a more formal one if that gets the answers you need.
As always, thanks for your efforts.

Dennis,
The forum posts are still there.
Click on the Home link at the upper left of the screen.
You should then see the Home page.
Sometimes many people bookmark another page here that may not be the Home page.
http://www.whalercentral.com is the home page.
If there is anything after the .com , then another page is most likely bookmarked.
Thanks for the feedback.

This has gotten confusing.
Other posts are on going and both are talking about different things.
See this other post:
http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...pid=112782
I am locking this one down so I don't get confused.
Vote on this thread if you so choose:
