Default A New Demolition Forum - Coming Soon!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am still around. I have been in and out of town traveling since Thanksgiving. Also I have been doing some back end work to make this the best demolition site out there.

As you can see we have already added a few things here and there. But in the next couple of weeks there will be some pretty big changes. We have a lot of exciting things that we will be implementing to make everyone's stay here an exciting and enjoyable experience.

A couple highlights include:

A new front page (Content Management System)
A new blog, and as well as trusted members can have their own
Login capabilities with Facebook Connect
New classifieds section
Event calendar with upcoming demolition related tradeshows and conferences
Redesigned download page for Herb’s Newsletter
Better spam protection
As well as some other cool things that will help your demolition business.

We’re are excited of the changes and looking forward to implementing them. I do not have a set time table in place as the forum software is still in Beta 5 and the full version will not be released for another couple of weeks and then we need to make changes before fully launching to you guys.

Here is the very first shot of the new front page, the blogs and the forum itself, we are working on getting the logo, post icons, etc. today. So bear in mine this is an ongoing project.

Yesterday I installed the new membership script which will make it easier to join the forum and at the same time have the option to subscribe to Herb's newsletter, or something else we are working on.

Let me know what you think.

Good question...LOL

My goal is to relaunch by/or February 1st, it maybe a little earlier depending on how things go on the back-end. Currently I am ahead of schedule, but that could change as time goes on. I also have 2 trips this month that will also be taking place that could affect the date.

I will post some more screenshots next week as I am working on a few more pages.

I am really looking forward to the launch and I hope you we all be as happy as I am currently with the new look.

Looks great.

I know that Heavy Equipment Forums is powered by V-Bulletin.
I think that keeping all categories with-in a page that is easy to view on the screen without scrolling down would be key.

HEF has way to many sub categories and I feel things don't get seen or become lost in the shuffle.

Keep up the great work.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.....
