Perhaps you wondered today why the BPS website looks so different...
BPS is pleased to announce that our new website is up and running! We've added a more friendly interface for mobile phones, with "hamburger" menus for ease of use. The site was updated earlier this year to use https (a secure method), rather than the more insecure http, which many large organizations, including museums, are not allowed to view. Nothing was lost in this conversion, and in fact, for the people behind the scenes, many new features have been added, making their job a bit easier.
The old Drupal 7 platform has reached end of life, and support is ending Jan 2025. Migrating to our new Backdrop CMS platform means no more worries about php and security updates, and our Webmaster now receives superb support from a dedicated group of multi-talented programmers.
Members, the public, professional paleontologists, and geologists will continue to be able to browse the field trip photos, hopefully sharing our excitement in seeing what treasures have been found.
