We implemented some changes to the GLRF index page, or in plain speak, the landing page you see when you click on GLRF.info

For a while, when you clicked on the GLRF domain, you were redirected to the GLRF Central page. This was felt to be more informative instead of a non-informative 'front' page that did not entice web visitors.

Now we copied some of the content from that page and put it on the index page and took away the redirection. So now you see the non-member version of glrfcentral on the index page, with displays of current activity, banner ads, and links to some of our other website social media pages, and finally, ... and enticements to join GLRF.

Then, on the member-logged in page of GLRF Central, we are trying to make it more 'member useful' by transferring some of the information that was on MY GLRF. Eventually MY GLRF will be a display of your customized profile:

- your groups

- who of your friends are online

- your current messages and notifications

- notifications of comments that people have made on images you uploaded to Gotcha! Gallery

- your selected country with a link to that country

- your selected athlete pages that you are interested in and links to those pages

meanwhile, we just upgraded the fancy schmancy news aggregator that provides rowing news from around the world as well as collates blog entries, calendar events, and ... last but not least ... feeds the Rowing Videos page ... but there is some google code right now that is causing that to break.
