| Online membership application?
Any news when they might get the online payment for membership figured out? What the heck is holding this up?

| Online membership payment? Hell, I'd be happy just to access the site.
"504 Timed Out" is all I've gotten today. | |

| Yeah, I don't know about anyone else, but it's taking a ridiculous amount of time for me to even get to the site.
I usually wait like 10 seconds, then get bored and go to the old site. |

Being listed is one of the benfits of current membership, not membership a year ago.

As foildad pointed out, a month ago there should ahve been such a link, but wasn't. That link was added shortly after that point in time and has been on the front page ever since.
With regards to phase II of the website, it was delayed until phase I was completed. The most recent news I've heard was that as of a month ago the finalists for phase II were about to be narrowed down to the final choice and that company would then start the actual work. I'm unclear on whether phase II included the online payment, or was entirely back-end work on how information is stored, transmitted, and used by the USFA. There was a mention of a phase III.

| Site is either down or just loading too slow but it is frustrating. The new site is becomming the last place I want to look for information. | |

| I get the feeling the new site is hosted on a machine that can't handle the traffic. Perhaps it's a shared hosting environment that doesn't provide enough resources to serve the traffic that the USFA site gets right before a NAC. If so, I sure hope the USFA is making fast plans to move the site to a dedicated machine somewhere.

| I've tried to use the new site several times now. One of two things happens.
1. It take a very long time to load, and every link on the page takes a long time to load.
2. It doesn't load at all.
They should continue to use the oldsite (yes, I know I can access it, but I have usfencing.org memorized and not oldsite.usfencing.org) until they can figure out what is wrong with their webdesign.

| I've been using it. It's just slow as molasses, like Tomas said. I usually go do something else in another window while I'm waiting... | |

| Over the past 3 weeks, the website response time has been better than during September. That is helpful.

| Just checked the site for the first time.
All the "click here" language on Today's Feature (and other panels) is redundant and confusing.
Eliminate the link language. Just post the link.
For example: Click Here for the UPDATED NAC "B" Albuquerque list of confirmed entries!
It just needs to read:
Updated NAC Albuquerque Confirmed Entries
Your web designers know this, based on how they handled other links on the homepage. Bring your Today's Feature editors (and other panel editors) onto the same page.
At a glance, it's a much better site, overall. However, it's still a hand-made site. You still have levels to climb.
For what you have achieved, congratulations!
With encouragement to continue! | |

| The site works well. The only thing I would suggest is RSS feeds of Tournament info, such as scheduling and results. With this capability, any club with a website could have this info instantly available to members on its own site, without the necessity of members (specifically, computer illiterate parents) having to dig through the many layers of the US Fencing Site for specific info. | |
