Updates To TruckingTruth

Hey everyone! So starting today there's been some changes to TruckingTruth. We're up and running on a new server with a slightly new design and a whole ton of improvements.

The two most notable improvements are the login system and the navigation.

The login system works the same as the old one the first time you use it. You login and do your thing. If you close your browser or restart your computer you will be logged out as always. That's not something I can control. That's how the systems are designed to work. But now I've made some updates to allow you to login again without entering a username and password. When you come back to the site and find yourself logged out you should see a yellow box across the top of the page that says, "You are not logged in. Would you like to login as [your email address]?". Click "yes" and you will automatically be logged back in. The page will reload and you'll be ready to go. No more going back to the login page, entering your credentials, and surfing back to where you were. If you'd like to see it in action, simply click on the "Menu" button at the top right and choose "log out". Once the next page loads you'll see the yellow message.

The navigation system has been updated also. When I first started this site years ago it had far fewer offerings than it does now and we simply outgrew the old system. So I've changed the navigation around to hopefully help people find the things they're looking for faster and easier. The biggest change is that there are no more drop-down menus. The menu items across the top will take you to pages instead. It's far easier to find information on a page than it is a menu. So hopefully that's an improvement. And things have been re-organized into categories better than they were before also.

So as always, please feel free to offer suggestions or let me know about any problems you come across. If you were seeing some odd things earlier this morning it may have simply been during the transition to the new server. But everything has been stable now for a few hours so let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks!

Worked for me,

Brett, I noticed that on this thread Victor responded after I did, but it still shows me as the last person who responded. Somethings acting fishy here.

I fixed it. There were a couple messages that slipped through and I had to update them manually. That was one and I forgot to update that part of it.

Looks great Brett!

Brett,

I really like the new look of the site. Great job.

Just an FYI Brett.

I find the site works a whole lot faster for me now. It was already fast enough, but for some reason it seems better now. Also am enjoying the quicker easier log in set up - my older Galaxy droid phone never would stay logged in, even after you made the changes for that. I never said anything about it because it uses an old browser system, and didn't have the required guts to be using Chrome, so I just figured when I got a new phone I would be good. Now I can log right in with the new system and it's much faster on my phone also. I know it's a big concern when moving a site of this size over to a different server, but this looks like it was a good move!

Liking the new changes

Nice work on the changes. Love the new log in update. Simple.

I agree with Old School. The new design and improvements are alot more user friendly on a cell phone.
