I might be the only one, but the UI designer in me really wants the recent activity to be on the left side of the page instead of the right.

(I also think Recent Updates might make more sense as a title, but that's also just personal preference).

Good points! Thank you.

I’ll be back working on it tonight.

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.
Yeah, I didn't mention that I made a bunch of changes to peak pages, etc. :)

Just one click or tap on "PEAKS" up there by the logo will get you there fast and it has all of the same functionality of the old home page peak list, as well as some sorting options by column.

I don't see the option for Top 100 or 200 anymore though. Is it there and I missed it, or is it in the works? (along with the tri-cent list would be cool....lol)

Edit: I guess clicking on the CO Rank will essentially do the same thing. A lot of scrolling...oh my finger

I would like the pause button on the picture on the front page, I always try to guess the peak, now it goes by a little quickly on some of them. I like the new cleaner look.

I liked the maroon font better than the current blue.

My "Display Settings" updates don't save when I make changes .. anyone else? I'd definitely like the avy FCST permanently on my home page.

I'm guessing you're using a mobile device? The CAIC graphic will come up on tablets but not phones because it's a fixed width and doesn't display well on small screens. I'll tinker around with it to see if I can get it to be acceptable or at least display a message above "Recent Activity" when the CAIC level is at or above your specified setting in Display Settings.

I'm on a PC, tried again today but it won't save. Not a huge deal on my end, but appreciate it.

You could try changing other options like the # of entries shown in Recent Activity. If none of the changes work, it's likely a cookie blocking issue.
