We've Reorganised The Site!

You're not imagining things, the menus really have changed and so has the way that OM's content is organised to make things easier to find and use, enjoy...

If you were using the site late on Monday evening, you may have noticed some strange goings on - creaking in the bedrooms, menu headings disappearing and coming back differently and doors slamming for now reason.

Yep, our very own haunted site. In reality though, we've just had a great big virtual rehash of the way OUTDOORSmagic is put together with the aim of making it easier to find and work your way through the huge amount of information, reviews, news and features on the site. It's all a lot more logical as well.

New Headings

If you look up at the top of the page, you'll see a menu bar and if you're feeling really observant, you might even notice that the headings have changed. What we've done is to reorganise all the content of the site into different categories so you'll find all the 'Gear' articles, news, Richard Gear and relevant section of the forum under the menu heading that says, erm, 'Gear'.

Click on it now and see what happens ;-)

Sorry, couldn't resist it. The same's true of 'Holidays and Travel' and 'Reviews' - we've tweaked the user review interface slightly as well. There's also a new category called 'On The Hill' which covers general stuff, news and hill skills, features and more as well as linking to the Meets and Partners section of the forum. 'Forum' is self explanatory really.

And A Short-Cut Box

There's also a new-fangled short-cut box in the top lefthand corner of the page, the one under the 'Looking for something' header, which you can use like a sort of instantaneous transporter beam to anywhere on the site you feel like going to.

So, have a play, see what you think and if you encounter any problems - materialising on the surface of Gandalfo 3 with it's alarming multiple moons for example, then please use the forum thread linked to below to tell us all about it.

We're confident that it's going to make the site better and easier to use. And no, we're not going back to orange :-)

Discuss this story

For those of you on here still at this late hour, please excuse the disruption to the site while we rearrange the site. The forum should be undisturbed, but you may find some strange goings on in the other site sections for a wee while.

Full explanation in the morning.

Ah! THAT'S why the Forum link disappeared and then came back!

Now that's magic!
