Travel log board
I'd like to see a board where people can log their day to day progress when on a trip. I like reading about people's experiences and it allows us to ask questions pertinent to specific locations.
Thanks for building a great forum

Currently there are the Travellers Stories / Blogs - see menu on left. Currently though you can't ask questions directly, give us some time and we'll have that, we're working on the questions part with new software, but it's slow going along with everything else.:confused1:

Website Layout
The website is wonderful and the information is extremely interesting and useful!
I do however believe that because the website looks fairly disorganized that it does not encourage people to pay membership dues.
My concern though is with the layout. How it stands currently, it makers navigation difficult. I would suggest having a drop down menu at the top of the page. The menu bars should contain (in general) the information that is sitting on the left side of the page currently.
Another consideration that I would offer is that another way of segregating posts is by region. What would be useful and "fun" would be to have a simple world map that each region or continent highlights when scrolled over. When accessing the highlighted region it would sort to information relevant to the area.
I have several other ideas, just let me know if you are interested.
Thanks

Hi,
all thoughts appreciated! And we agree! The site has been as is for many years - it was once "cutting edge!" dull knife perhaps...
See the Design Team form: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/designteam
and you can be a part of the massive redesign / upgrade in progress right now!
Note we're moving house this week, so I'll be a little slow getting back to you.
cheers,

New to Horizons Unlimited?
New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!
Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
