Hey gang..... I feel like it's been a bit since I've done some updates.... So here we go....
1) Emoji's
There's a handful of new emoji's added in with the existing Smilies now that weren't there before. If you feel strongly about an emoji that is missing, let me know!
2) Social Networks
There's also now a way to share posts out to your social networks if you would like to do that. I admit I don't do that a lot, but I'm sure some of you do, so if you have troubles with it, let me know. You'll see the following icons near the bottom of each post.

A few of those I have zero experience with... heh... I'm happy to trim some of those back, but for now those are the only ones I can add for the moment. I'm unable to add Instagram at this time.
I figure if you are not interested in using them, that's ok... If you are interested in using them, there they are.... See what you think and let me know your thoughts there....
3) My Glacier
There's been some updates done to the "My Glacier" section in the upper right hand corner if you haven't seen that yet.... For the moment, It's focus is on Day Hikes. In the Day Hikes area, the park is broken down into 9 areas based on how the NPS seems to break out their hikes. You are able to pick which ones you've done, when you did them, how many times you did them, include who was with you, or any other notes that you would like to track for yourself. It seems self explanatory to me, however, that could easily be because I've been staring at it for along time.. heh... So...If anyone would like to play around with it a bit, and provide a bit of feedback, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
You have the option of marking your hikes as public or private. If you choose public, your mileage totals will show up in the "My Glacier Stats" menu option under Main Menu. All that does is show your mileage and elevation totals relative to others. Nothing else is public. If you choose private, it won't show there.
I thought it might be kind of a fun little thing.... Anyway, we'll see what kind of feedback this gets... It could need some minor tweaks to possibly a complete overhaul... Once it's somewhat dialed in, I'll try to do something similar for backpacking as well....
The My Glacier stuff does require you to be logged in. It's the same login as your regular forum login....
Anyway, I'm always up for suggestions to improve things, so feel free to let me know.
Thanks!
Cheers!
Kyle....
P.S.. One of these days, I need to get on a trip report... wow!
