ANNOUNCING JETBOATERS.net!

When the top members of a Yamaha Jet Boating site on the net wanted new features, technology and an ad free forum JETBOATERS.net is the awesome result! If you are a jet boater interested in sharing, discussing, mod'ing and enjoying your boat.....JETBOATERS.net is for you! This new site eases our communication by leveraging the latest forum technology.

If you are new to using a forum, read this thread on how to post.

Features Include (this link has a comprehensive list of my favorite features):
  • WYSIWYG (what you see if what you get) editor
  • Integrated member map (Just put a location in your profile)
  • Drag and drop image inserting
  • Post "likes"
  • Member trophies
  • Facebook login
  • User tagging
  • Bullets, numbering and indents
  • Embedded video playing
  • Linked media gallery
  • Smartphone friendly browsing/posting and adding images!
All of the above makes interactions on the forum a breeze and fun as well!

Experts onboard before we went live include: Backwash, Boat Crazy, BoatSki, Brmorganjr, brockhals, Bruce, Christy, DawgDaze, DCB-270, Detonate, DoubleTrouble, fairpilot, farrelltravis, Glassman, itsdgm, jawsf16, Julian (Mitchelled), justason, kvoman, leeatmg, maboat, Murf'n'surf, N1AGH, OperationROL, PEARCE, Rana, Rusty, Stacey in SC, Suchawittygal, SuperJetDan, txav8r, & upperdeck. This represents 67% of the top 20 posters (active, non-vendor) - and again...that was before Go Live!

So quick, find your favorite photo or question and come on over to the hottest new forum on Jet boats! Hurry, as our first order of business is to post up logo designs, vote, and get some great Jetboater stickers, Can Coolers and Logo wear out before the season starts! (The logo above is a member submission! Thanks Glassman!)

We look forward to seeing you at JETBOATERS.net (Member owned and operated-multiple members that is!)

Here is a screen shot of the Smartphone UI:

Outstanding work gentlemen! I'm learning and quickly liking the interfaces and the flow of forum.

The UI from a phone interface is welcome!!!!

I look forward to seeing it morph into greatness that everyone can learn from and enjoy. To state the obvious...these boats rock. And this place rocks

Be proud!
 
@Bruce and @Julian
Awesome job setting up this site! Love the features and your open, honest dedication to the members.
:devilhorns: And your custom smilies! :thumbsup:
 
We are doing our best....but remember, this is a site for us all, so if we stray, post and keep us in line! Feedback is not only WELCOME, but ENCOURAGED!!!!

I got up early, even though my wife said I could sleep in on my birthday, just to witness the dawn of the new site!

We've been getting buckets of rain and there's an 80% chance of rain today! but the clouds parted and the sun is rising brightly this morning.

It's a sign from above I tell ya!:cool:

Thanks! It has been really fun discussing all the options we wanted with everyone, and @Bruce banging them in one by one! (Member tagging is a cool one....helps you draw attention to a post from particular members)
 
I gotta get used to that "tagging" ....

Around my factory we shoot taggers!
@Julian
