New forums, article comments, and profiles

Sweet, thanks heaps.

Since I much prefer forums over blogs, this is indeed great news. Your forum features address and hopefully will solve many problems I have with blogs. Thanks for listening. One problem not mentioned is your policy on posting images at the forums. Your blog accumulates so many images through a month on a single page, causing a very long load time. Hope that won't be the case with the forums.

A related subject regarding getting entry to your blog. I usually enter your blog by clicking on boston.com's Raw image. This gets me to a current blog entry, which I may or may not be interested in, such as:

http://www.boston.com/community/photos/raw/wildlife1/

Once there, I have to click on the month in Archive to finally see what new entries and comments have been added:

http://www.boston.com/community/photos/raw/2009/03/

Today quite by accident, instead of clicking on bostom.com's Raw image, I clicked on the Raw icon above the image, and ended up on a page I did not realize existed:

http://www.boston.com/community/photos/raw/

I think this is a very good entry point to Raw, for blog or forum or whatever. A more prominent link on boston.com may help steer visitors to this page easier. For example, instead of the four boston.com links (Raw icon, Raw image, blog entry title, and More Photos in Raw), create a single link to the above page. Once on that page, a visitor can link to wherever he/she wants to.

Just a thought.

great news Teresa, it's nice to see this community growing and moving forward...look forward to the new forums, et. al.

Where are they?

We launched last night, Dulcinea. If you visit the Boston.com homepage, look at the links in the upper left for a link that says, "Boston.comImprovements debut.."

I need MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!!!
