We just redesigned our discussion forum areas to be much more attractive and usable. There are several odds and ends that we still need to do but I think you enjoy them much more.

Here are a couple of things that you will see very soon:

• The images for the forums and the topics will change based on whether you have already viewed them or not.  This will help you find newly posted items.
• You will be able to add photos to your posts (like I do here in the blogs) so you can include pictures of gear or photos from a recent trip.

Here are a couple of images from the new forums.  Feel free to try them out now!
