    Default Can we get an update on the Baby Bargains home page?

    Hey Mods and A&D. I'm one of those that just goes to www.babybargains.com and then clicks on "message board" to get to the forums. There was a new home page that you couldn't navigate to the boards from and now the old home page is back. Seems an update is in the works. Just wondering if we can get an update as to what we can expect going forward?

    I've passed on your request to the Fields. I'm curious though - why not bookmark the forum page? I understand if you're on an unfamiliar PC, but I was surprised at the number of people who seem to go through babybargains.com on a regular basis.

    I dont' use bookmarks. On rare occasion, I will, but generally, I memorize and just go where I want. Just a habit, I guess. I do bookmark my Bberry, so that, yes. But on my computer and work computer? No. It is way the heck faster for me to type www.babybargains.com than to go to the stupid star, click in, make sure it's not on history, look for the bookmark, and click. Just been that way for seven years, I don't wanna change :-)

    I didn't look too closely at the new home page because I don't ever go to the homepage to get here. I did notice down at the bottom there were lots of little links and one was "community". I bet that would take you here.

    I think that's the intent, but it was a broken link.

    Since most (all?) of the links were broken, I suspect the developer was playing around with the site and it wasn't really intended to be the "live" release of the new homepage.

    Hi everyone!

    Yes, we are about to launch a new web site---we are doing some beta testing now. Our webmaster accidentally pulled back the curtain on the new site before we were ready. Sorry for the confusion.

    So the old home page is still up there for now!

    We'll have an announcement about this shortly when we are ready to launch!

    Thanks,
    alan & denise

    Well, I think that's great! I liked what I saw of what was there at the time. Best of luck!!

    Huh, I never go through the pages to get where I want to go. I just start typing "wi" and Firefox suggests the main forum page to me as I go there often. Sometimes I click the "most visited link" at the top of my Firefox screen. handy shortcuts for me.
