I think it's fine the way it is. Like buttons become a bit of a popularity contest. Not worth it.
If you can't figure out how to post images, then you're probably too stupid to even reply to posts.
All good, leave it as is I say!
And congrats on ten years! |

First of all Thank you for the great site!!!
In my opinion, NWKite is THE premier Internet location to learn about kiteboarding (without learning the hard way, on the water, or wasting your own dollars).
Personally, I like the simplicity of the site. Often sites attempt to upgrade simply in attempt to look cool. This site is functional and easy to navigate.
Photos are a challenge, however most have figured out via trial and error how to adapt. Once you understand the resolution constraints it's not that difficult. I still can't figure out how to add html lists, so I just manually format my comments now.
Thus, I agree with those who are happy with the layout of the site. Now, if you need to upgrade for security or efficiency purposes, that's a different story. But, you won't find me complaining about the layout. I have learned to work around the challenges and have greatly appreciated the information I have gained over the years from the expertise of others in the sport.
Big Thanks You to all involved for your generosity and efforts in the building and maintaining of this site!!!

I appreciate this quote from Phil. It maintains the purity of the site. No brand crap.
I had a past manager ask me if it's a porn site. I responded, "kite porn I guess."
mgr: "we can't have that."
Sella: "it's pretty low key...just people with kites doing crazy stuff."
mgr: "you can get fired."
Sella: "is this about the black dildo thing?"
mgr: "The whaaaat?"
Thanks Phil for 10 years of helping pass the work day. |

Thanks for the site, I think it's fine just how it is.
I really like how simply laid out it is, nothing fancy or distracting. Things are easy to read and navigate. The simplicity of the site is particularly nice when trying to post OSR's or check post updates when in remote locations with poor cell coverage. Even the picture limitation is somewhat nice for that reason - keeps the automatically loading pics from hogging all the bandwidth. |
