    I agree! Was the best board for current conditions feature always there? It's an interesting idea that I just noticed.

    The new home page is sweet how u intergrated google maps into it. You can see the deeper and swallow spots at different break as well as how far the sandbars are out

    I dont like the google maps on the home page. I would rather the wave maps chart like it used to be.

    When I go to the OCMD surf report page there isn't a live cam Icon @ top of surf report page right below the wave hgt,period, etc graph the way it used to. Actually no live ocmd cam icon @ all.

    If you click on the surf reports, it comes up with: An error occurred Application error
    On that same page with the error if you click on reports & go to the mid atlantic, then ocmd you get error stack 23 or 24 before it loads. If it does load you get custom_ocsurfcam.php to the right side of page, nothing for report date, wave height, conditions do say head high & green :D , stoke factor=red x in the box. At the left of the page with local surf reporter as Bunger surf shop in Babylon, NY

    Micah, I know the format has changed & some things are still being worked out. Just letting you know some of the things I noticed.

    Who uses the homepage? I rarely go to it. I have my bookmark set to my home break forecast page.

    chuck.... I have to make a fix in order for the ocmd surf cam to work in the new template. I'll see if I can get to that this morning.

    I do understand some people liked the wave maps on the home page, but it was really a big use of space, and I think it is more relevant to go to your local surf forecast page where you have all the info and maps.

    I tried working with the satellite data in the past, but it was really tricky. Will have to look into it again.

    I remember a few years ago surfline tried to work with something along those lines and failed pretty badly... It was glitchy and extremely user un-friendly... I have faith you can pull it off !!

    quick question/suggestion:

    I like how you now have a "like" button on the videos, and I think it would be cool if there was a like button for each comment in a thread. It would be interesting to see what comment people like the most, and will also create smaller threads since people won't comment just to say they agree with a comment someone made earlier. Just a suggestion...;)
