Hi Cindy

While its nice to have a fancy new flashy site, just think about people
Who are on the road with low data plans etc ..
I much prefer the old site cause its easier to load and especially with
Smartphones. And tablets.. Just a thought

Cindy can you please send me the new logo, and any feedback for Cindy is a good thing in regards to iPads and IPhones as well as different browers, cos they all have different problems

thanks Cindy, you are doin a great job.

Hi guys. Great to get feedback. Thanks. Yes, the whole accessibility for people out there on the road was uppermost in our minds when we started the revamp project. We are assured by the website gurus that this won't be a major issue and is actually designed with mobile devices in mind. Clearly more and more people are using phones etc to access the website and we wanted to get that right. We hope we have! The new site doesn't have Flash and, once we have sorted out this latest server issue, should act quickly and efficiently. The whole revamp is intended to make the site easier for people to navigate and to make information easier to find ... as well as being kind of fun to look at. We desperately hope that any 'negatives' - and I am sure there are going to be some - will be more than outweighed by the positives. Time will tell. We, of course, remain ever receptive to suugestions and ideas and, most importantly want to hear how the new website is perfoming on all platforms (once it is up and running).

Looks like the new site will use a lot more down load . I am for the first time using the activeboard site to avoid the freezing on the main page

Best wishes Cindy, hope you soon sort it out.

Milo.... you're approaching too fast, 60-65 knots, full flap, look well up along the runway as you round out, don't look at the ground immediately in front of you. You need to gradually increase the back pressure on the column as the speed washes off.
