    Over the last 12 months we’ve been diligently working behind the scenes on something BIG with regards to the future of In-Depth Outdoors’ website. Our current platform, while it has served us well over the years, is long in the tooth and in need of a major face lift and modernizing.

    We’re rounding the final bend and approaching the finish line with our current build and we’re excited to announce the release of what will be our new online home going forward, complete with a wide range of new features optimized for all your devices!

    Here’s a sneak-peek at what to expect once we make the switch –

    Full Screen View

    You can expect more previews of the experience in the coming weeks, as well as inside details on the launch and roll-out plan of the new site.

    —In-Depth Outdoors to be “read-only” starting June 16, 2014—

    Our first major bit of info relates to some expected “down time” for our current website. The current forums and website will be switched to a “read-only” experience on June 16 to complete the final content migration. This “read only” period will last approximately one week with the new site expected to be released on or before June 22.

    “Read only” huh Sounds like a plan that could come in handy for some threads.

    Read Only… nothing new for a week, guess I will finally get some work done that week, but will surely be in a poor mood.

    As much as I love the current site, excited to see what you come up with. Sure it will be great.

    I might have to start smoking again!

    Since I was lucky enough to be involved with the very first meeting of the new website a few years back, I’m really looking forward to the new product coming about.

    well then it’s probably time for a little road trip
    do you prefer the scenic route up the west shore of Mille Lacs and then north on Hwy 6, OR the express route to Brainerd and then east on 210 ?

    Looking forward to it. Hope it’s not like the Android version of the Precision Trolling App

    Well then, Scenic Route it is

    (luckily for me, that’s the route which DOESN’T have any WhiteCastles along the way … but we might find a Pottery Barn)

    Mr. Holst, will photos be easy to upload with a smart phone?

    No. We’ve actually made it far more complicated and problematic to upload photos from mobile devices.

    Just for certain users or for everyone?

    James will lock BK in a room and post the conversations he has with himself.

    I see there is Magazine option up in the headings. Is this just an electronic magazine with articles? Can’t wait for the new site!

    Boy, 99.9% of all these new launches have been very disappointing for last 2 years. Hoping your’s is not in the majority. Chicago area new launches/new owners about killed the sites….

    You can’t compare Chicago to ANYTHING we do in Minnesota.

    I’m sure we will hear the complaining and moaning associated with anything new. Once we figure out how to navigate and post everything will be peaches & cream.
