Forum Updated

New-look Thread View in Forum

We have recently implemented our new-look thread view in the forum to keep up with our website theme. We decided to create a lighter and fresher look that helps make posts much easier to read and follow.

Text Links in Forum Posts

Working behind the scenes is software that goes through all the words in a forum post and replaces certain words or phrasings with a link to a related page. This provides a quick and helpful way to navigate to: trek notes, articles and even directory listings.
