TBN Redesign Coming Soon!

[Muhammad]

Hi Everybody,

Just wanted to let you know that this week we will be launching a new design for TractorByNet.com. Screen shots are attached below to give you a sneak peek.

The new design replaces our current design, which was implemented in 2002. The new design features include:

• Simplified, easier to read navigation
• Drop-down navigation menus so you can easily find forums and content without clicking around a lot.
• Minor update to the TBN logo
• Updated color scheme

Major new features include:

• Reviews section with 100% new design from the ground up
• Articles section where more static content will be added

The forums will be largely unchanged aside from a new page header and footer.

We have done extensive testing of the new design and hope to implement it with as little downtime as possible. Also, we have done our best to maximize compatibility across all major browsers from Internet Explorer 6 all the way up to the latest versions of IE and Firefox.

As always, thank you for your patience, and please let me know if there are any issues after we make changes.

This is already an excellent tractor site. What you redesign can only be top notch. If I may, is there any way to automatically resize any contributed photos to be no more than the size of a monitor screen? I contribute photos that are set at 640x480. There are still a lot of us that due to geographic restrictions cannot get high speed internet service and have to settle for slow, telephone line communication. Even with high speed, the photo should only be as large as the monitor screen without having to scroll around to see what is being represented by the contributor. Good job and thanks for the website.

As the plan stands now, there should not be any downtime. However,
as we have learned from past updates, one never knows ... Hopefully,
all will go well.
