Michael,
What a surprise to see the new landing page for Overland Bound. That's a very nice layout, and looks professionally done.
I realize it is brand new, and a work in progress. I thought the members might use this thread to comment/discuss their opinion, and let you know of any platform specific problems.
As of noon, EST on Monday, the image in the top right of the white area (above trending) is broken. It is looking for something local named "emblem_mtg.jpg"
The graphic while logging in is larger than the space allowed, leaving off a couple letters.
On an iPad, the header and store banner take more than half the screen. I realize this is not controllable, but it sorta makes the site look like a store instead of an Overloading community.
Oddly, the submenu under "Headlines" is on the left on the iPad and Right inline with headlines on the desktop. Must be wrapping to the next line. Not a problem, just wanted to note the difference. By the way, that's an awesome photo of you yanking on the winch cable!
It is probably just my old eyes, but I can barely make out the black text on dark gray background headline titles. Light gray like the word "headline" might be a better option?
Somewhere you might want to add a link to your YouTube Channel. (Or there may be one and I just haven't found it.)
But most importantly, your seminal video, Are You an Overlander? took several minutes to find, and I knew what I was looking for. A new visitor isn't going to stumble onto it. That should be placed prominently on the front page. It's what struck home with me when I found Overland Bound, and I'm sure others as well.
Overall, a wonderful improvement to the Overland Bound site! Thanks for your continued excellence

[EDIT] I type slow, and you work faster. It looks like the badge image was the one missing, and now shows up as expected.
