I updated the "visited" link colors but it's probably caching the stylesheet. Try refreshing now, it should get a new copy...

Not sure if I like that gray visited color but I'll find something.

+1 I really appreciate your hard work, and also like the names of the peaks with the homepage photos...

Looks great Bill. I like that the new color shade differences are more noticeable than the old grays. Thank you!

The peak list on the left is gone. Clutter!
Thanks Bill!
I think it looks better with it gone, and the new color scheme I like as well.

But where's the link to the 14ers Forum addiction support group?

I love the change! I do second this though, I liked how the image also would let us know what peak we were looking at. Is there any way to bring this back with the image selection being random? As a soon to be graduate in electrical and computer engineering I feel there has to be a way.

Bill, I also miss the peak list that you removed, not for the green checkmark but for the easy access to info for the ones not checked.. So I'll throw out this suggestion (maybe you'll throw it out too :-D ) - add the peak list back to the homepage but make it collapsible so those that find it clutter can hide it, just like you did for he Recent Activity list.

It's pretty much what it is now, hovering the pointer over "Peaks" tab and highlighting "14ers", just one click brings new and improved peak list up.

Haha, hadn't explored changes beyond the front page. I eventually would have found it but thanks for pointing that out.
