Last night, I updated PlanetNautique to version 4.02 of vBulletin's Publishing Suite. This upgrade was meant to fix a number of bugs that were reported in the previous release of their software. Overall, the upgrade went well. Some of the colors were modified during the upgrade, and I have been working to get them back to normal. I believe I have most of that corrected at this point.

One of the main things that this new version of the software was meant to address is the formatting issues that affected people still using Internet Explorer version 6. I believe the site's front page should now appear correctly in this version of IE. It should be noted, however, that if you're still using IE version 6, you are using a very old version of Internet Explorer (it was released in 2001, to be exact), and you should update to the latest version of IE for MANY reasons, not just so that you can view PN more easily.

Several people have mentioned that they would like to see a new version of the PlanetNautique Users' Map installed on this site. For those of you who are new or do not remember the old PN map, it was a way to plot the location of our members on a map, so that everyone could quickly view other members' locations. If you're interested in seeing this feature added to the new site, please post in this thread.

Finally, I would like to again mention the great deals that our site sponsors are providing to everyone here at PlanetNautique. These sponsors are all great, and they work hard to support this site. Please remember to support them by purchasing from them when you can. I would like to particularly mention White Lake Marine, who has really stepped up this year to support this site. There will be more about their contribution to PlanetNautique in a future blog.

Enjoy the site, and feel free to drop me a line with any site suggestions or thoughts.
