"State of the Site" Update: Most of the issues from the migration to the new web server have been solved, at least the visible issues. In the next week or two I will try to upgrade the forums to version 7.5.6 which will bring a whole new host of features. Downtime should be minimal, and I really mean that this time.

In the meantime, don't forget we have a new homepage. The links page in the resources section of the homepage has been updated and verified. Let me or moe know if you think there are links you would like to have added. I know there's a 'Triumph Locations' thread that we could probably harvest links from. Next up, the Downloads and Spotlight pages need to be updated. I pretty much just dumped the content in there from the old site so they're quite broken. I have a cosmetic enhancement as well for the homepage, but it's pretty low on the priority list right now. Suffice to say it should tie in to the Member's Rides forum quite nicely.

I'd like to recognize Soren for accepting the "challenge" of posting news items to the homepage. He's always posting news stories about Triumph on the forums so we drafted him into duty for the blog. He's posted two so far and they look good! He also has provided the Worldwide Triumph News Feed for the sidebar from his TriumphConnection.com web site. Think of it as an opportunity to brush up on your language skills. Remember the site's slogan, "Worldwide since 2002."

Lastly, I would like to personally thank Phil Earnshaw (bonnyusa) for his service to the site as Administrator for many years. He picked up the slack as Robert was drawn away more and more from the site after the 2006 upgrade. Phil decided to step down from the administrator role but will stay on as a moderator. Thanks also to the rest of the moderator team for their continued support and service. I couldn't handle all this without them. You should definitely buy them a beer next time you see them.
