Welcome to "Slashgeo's reprojection" :-) After 5 years running over the Slashcode engine, we just moved to Drupal. For the majority of you, it means we will continue to regularly publish geonews, but on a website that will, once we complete its configuration, provide more features and flexibility.
Important notes:
- Old user accounts have not been migrated and will not. Please register again in order to share comments and subscribe to the daily newsletter
We haven't migrated the old stories and comments to this new site yet. We might in the future.Search engines won't be happy with all those broken URLs, but so be it.- There will be bumps. Please allow us some time to configure the site properly. Sharing suggestions and bug reports with us is encouraged!
- An example of a minor bug we're already aware of: there are comments in the right hand side "Recent comments" block that non-admin users should not actually see. Sorry about that.
Alex, aka Satri, for the Slashgeo editors

Icons banner and artwork
Thanks - to be honest, this is the vanilla Drupal 6 theme.. we haven't done any major work on the site's look yet. That said, it may stay mostly like this for a while, since I like it too :-)
Regarding the banner of icons, rest reassured, it won't come back. *But*, I do plan to reuse the icons we were using on the old site (but not the banner :-).

Suggestions
I'm looking forward to the features to come.
A first suggestion: users don't have permission to contact you on your contact form.

Re: Suggestions
Thanks. You're right... no idea why the contact form isn't accessible to all. Will investigate... thanks for pointing it out!

Re: Suggestions
I changed the link to the site-wide contact form, which is now enabled and working fine. However, I can't find how to enable user-to-user contact forms. I'm keeping this issue for later... at least now people can easily reach us :-)

Re: Welcome to the new Slashgeo.org!
Ah, I see this is actually an issue in D6, there's a patch. But sitewide contact form makes sense anyway.

Re: Welcome to the new Slashgeo.org!
"We haven't migrated the old stories and comments to this new site yet", are the archives available anywhere?
Tue, 2010/09/07 - 15:50 — Satri
Archives should come back online in the coming weeks
Nope, not at the moment. All archives should be available in a few weeks at the latest... or at least that's the plan! :-) Thank you for your patience...
Mon, 2010/09/27 - 12:37 — Satri
Archives now back online
Good news, see this post, the archives are now back online.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for where the bio page is for my account? Thanks

Re: Welcome to the new Slashgeo.org!
just an advise from an (old) drupal user, be aware of "modulitis" and only install very well supported modules that integrates well with CCK or Views, for example, or the maintenance of the website will be a hell, beleive me.

Re: Modulitis
Thanks for the wise advise! I was already planning to be conservative on using third party modules. We just don't have the time to test and play with too many modules: content is the priority.
That said, we will certainly add some useful modules in the future, including some that are geo-related (GeoRSS, embedded maps, etc) - while trying to keep in mind your advise! :-)

User profiles not enabled yet
User profiles are not enabled yet. This is in the to-do list but has a low priority.

Re: Welcome to the new Slashgeo.org!
First point raise by Alex ser profile is not yet enable, 2nd there must be feature in which user can make social network.
Re: Welcome to the new Slashgeo.org!
Thank you for getting rid of the trite esri-looking artwork/banner. Site looks much better.
