I've made several recent changes to the site.  There are some bugs still but getting it figured out I think.

1. I've disabled the previous forum and review module.  Full integration is beyond me at this point and right now, given the low usage of both of those features previously I've decided full integration is more important to me right now.
2. Added a new TGR Fireboard Forum.  This forum should completely integrate with the rest of the site allowing some pretty neat features.
3. Added Discussbot which allows a link to be placed at the bottom of every posting.  Clicking on this link creates a topic in the TGR Fireboard Forum for discussion on that posting automatically.
4. All previous forum users have been migrated over to this new site and TGR Fireboard Forum.  You may have to do a password reset as that part appears a little flakey but your username and e-mail should have come over successfully.  Please do a password reset and login before you post in the TGR Fireboard Forum.  Currently the forum is wide open allowing anyone to post registered or not.  I don't expect to leave it in that state for very long, just for a short period of troubleshooting.  If you weren't registered in the previous forum, please take the time to complete a registration for this one.

Think that is about everything.  Have several things I want to try to implement in the near future but one of the biggest is to open the front page and categories up for other tactical bloggers to post.  I never intended this to be a one man operation and if you would be interested in doing a little "tactical blogging" please get in touch with me and let me know that.

Please let me know if you see any problems with the new site or areas for improvement.  I'm always interested.

Thanks!

In an effort to bring this site back to it's roots (primarily a blogging site for Tactical Gear) and to hopefully increase participation on the main page as well as in the discussion forums and the review module, I have done a little redesigning of the web site. For the most part the forums and review module will remain the same, that is unless someone comes up with some great ideas on how to make thing better, I'm all ears. The main change will be the front page of the web site and I hope that I can get back to blogging several posts a week on interesting looking, new and existing, tactical gear when I run across it. If anyone would like to help out in this endevor I would be more than happy to hear your suggestions.

So take a look around, let me know if anything is broke or needs tweaked please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Also if anyone would like to help me out with tactical blog posts on the main page, please let me know and I'll see what I can do to get you started.

THANKS! Monty
