Looks great! Thanks to whoever did all the work. I've gotta spend some time thumbing through it now.

it does look great! although, the menus are positioned underneath the youtube videos which makes seeing them and using them difficult!

FYI - using IE11

New website? for solo2...???

After 12+ years, I have passed the torch to Leonard Cachola. It's looking pretty good, Leonard!

Had to clear my cache; man, that's a nice look design. Looks great in Chrome!

Looks nice, but...........

Doesn't seem to format correctly for me. Firefox on widescreen monitor. Things are kinda squished together in the middle of the screen. Are the 3 videos supposed to be next to each other? I've got two on top then one below, right justified. The calendar is showing up wider than the rest of it, all to the right. While the links show up correctly at the top and seem to work, there is a plain text version below the calendar.

It's not happening with mine on Windows 8.1. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there's a full menu you can use to navigate.

There are some issues in Firefox, as described above, but I like the freshness of it and overall design and layout. Just a matter of debugging.

What OS?

The plain text version is supposed to be there - it's supposed to be white/gray over gray.

Not seeing it????

Try it again - should work now.

You have to clear your browser cache to see it.

Windows 7 and Firefox, I presume? I had the same issue until I cleared the browser cache and restarted Firefox.

I would love to see the new solo2.com. Tried clearing the history on both the Firefox and Chrome, then a restart. Still no luck. Then I did the unthinkable........Internet Explorer. No luck. Help me Leonard.....help me please!

Yes. 7 Ultimate at work and 7 Home at home. Don't know about work, but it's working at home. So I know nothing about web design, why do some resize to fit the screen and some not? The new site fills about 1/2 of my wide screen monitors.

The videos should appear as three across on the page - if not, then you'll have to clear your browser cache and/or flush the dns (https://www.google.com/#q=dns+flush), then restart the browser.

The current site width is 840px to accommodate for the widest number of desktop monitors possible. I'll have to code it for responsive design in order for it to scale in width for smartphones, tablets, and widescreen monitors. It's something I've been looking at, just haven't had the time to implement.

I've had the same issues here - here's what I did:

You'll have to clear the browser cache AND do a dns flush on your computer (https://www.google.com/#q=dns+flush), then restart the browser to see the new site.

The new web site is very slick.
I did the clear dns cache before going into it.
I still have a problem with some of the pull-downs being behind the video clips.
Also, I went into the 2013 Sup Regs and it wouldn't let me go back.
Finally, where is the list of points card holders? The one that was on the old site wasn't up to date, but is was some help. I use it to edit the results when I am doing the team points.
I will need something up by the next event.

I haven't been able to replicate the problem. What's the OS and browser?

The link just opens the Sup Reg PDF. You should just be able to hit the back button on your browser to go back.

The list is currently maintained by Membership Chairman Kurt Rahn. You can contact him at membership@solo2.com.

wmode=transparent did the trick! looks fine now!

Finally found the source of the problem this morning. Let me know if it's still an issue.

Guy Walker wrote: wmode=transparent did the trick! looks fine now!

Good to know - None of the systems I tried had the problem. After John Fendel made a comment after I added the wmode switch to the old code, I went back on to youTube and grabbed new code and added the wmode switch.

Got on at work......no problem. I'll do the DNS flush on my home computers.

The site looks great Leonard. I'm sure there are many things we eventually need to update. One I noticed are the onsite directions at El Toro. If it's an easy fix, whoever did the map may want to rework the area where we run. It shows coming in on a road that no longer exists.

I'll put it on the list of things to do to the site - I'll work on getting it done this weekend so it'll be ready for the Pro. Also noticed the Novice Guide needs updating and I'd like to update the look of several of the PDFs as well to better match the site.

Nice job... looks good,
and for testing purposes works well on an old XP Pro w/ Firefox.

Thank you for designing it so non- widescreen monitors don't have to scroll back and forth side to side.
