TAY software upgrade - Feedback requested!

The chronological listing is key. Means you can find stuff from the past, explore previous years.

Being able to search for previous trips by geographical location is also important.

I like it the way it is, so I'd 2nd the 'don't change too much, too fast' vibe.

Also, instead of paying for a cloud hosting service, can't the photo/ video data all be hosted peer-peer by TAY folks, reducing the cost to zero, plus that vibe is in keeping with the community ethos? (I'm a technological dunce though so forgive me if this is just plain dumb).

regarding realistic requests, I'd second whoever asked for on-site photo hosting. It'd be great if TAY would store photos and their associated trip reports together forever.

TAY does do that. Three images per post, with a fixed photo file size. I've come to appreciate the format, as it helps me distill for quality. Becoming a full-on photo host might add a lot of administrative overhead + bandwidth/storage costs?

I think it would be neat to be able to 'tag' the folks that were on the trip with you. That way if I want to see what kind of skiing a person does before I respond to a "partners wanted" post, I can look up their name and all of their trips will come up, not just the ones they authored. I also like the way NWHikers segregates TRs from Posts. I'm more interested in a person's trip reports than their comments, so it would be neat to be able to search TR's seperate from all recent posts.

I'd love to see some functionality with mobile devices. I belong to several other forums and most of them tether to a mobile app called Tapatalk. Makes it really easy to see all your stuff in once place!

A " view new posts" button wouild be great. It would run a quick report in the backgound and show you all the post since you last visit, with a cap of 2-3 days. Splitbaord.com runs one and it is a quick way to see whats current across the entire board.

You can get some of this functionality by scrolling to the bottom of the main trip-reports page; it shows recent posts to the board. To make it a little easier to view (when you're logged in), you can collapse each year's trip reports by clicking the little arrow at left.
