Hey don't worry, we are sending it out on the 29th. You haven't missed it. We just wanted to give the forum members the first view. You will get an email on Tuesday. If you don't get it, then check the spam filters. Thanks for the replies so far.

Looked good to me. I liked the Index feature because it was easy to browse and select the articles that interested me the most and that I wanted to read. The Index feature is accessible from all pages which is very handy. Thanks I Boats.

I wish the next page feature was available at the bottom of each page on the forum. It's at the top so you have to scroll all the way to the top every time you want to change pages when reading a thread with multiple pages.

Off topic, sorry.... What sail plane is that? That is my other hobby next to boating. Soaring around here isn't too bad.

I really like it, Admin5. Something for everyone.

I may have a suggestion after I have been through it in more depth, but so far it looks great.

That was a picture of my first glider, a 1966 Phoebus. I sold it a few years back and now own an ASW20B. Absolutely love it! Actually I took it out today for a fun 3 hour flight. PM me and let's talk soaring.

Great layout...Able to turn through the pages very easily. The one thing I would to see is the ability to print out hard copies of some articles for future reference.

Had a chance to look thoguth it in great detail. Here are my thoughts:

1. Make it so that it can be saved to your computer. I was sittting at the airline club reading when I had to catch my flight. I couldnt take it with me.

2. Offer reader coupons for use in the iBoats store. :D

3. Set up the forums so that users can vote for a thread to placed in the mag

Great job!!!:cool:

Yep, finally got to go through it cover to cover today. Enjoyed JB's story, the destinations, etc. It was ALL GOOD! Thanks!

I do agree with bhammer that it would be great is we could save it - to look at during those times when we are not connected to the internet, or when you KNOW you are going to need an article later.

There was a lot of work put into that magazine ... it shows. Thanks for thinking of US THAT much, that you took the time and effort to put it together for US!
