vdeane:
I noticed that at some point the temporary index was again replaced with the CHM lookalike one.  There are a couple tweaks I'd do to make it more functional:
-There should be links from the homepage to the highway data updates and this forum
-There should be a link to user logs somewhere, perhaps on the user page as they were on CHM.
-Also, it might be a good idea to replace the null user stats page with an index of all the users

Thing342:
I'll see about adding this whenever I get some free time.

I've already submitted an issue: https://github.com/TravelMapping/Web/issues/37.

Don't get me wrong, it's the right way for "normal users" to post issue here but I think the "developer" open issue list is on github. That's why I've copied your note to github.

theFXexpert:
Some notes about issues/my wishlist of things I would like to see. You all are free to discuss/disagree/prioritize as needed:

- This was already noted on Github but, the shield cache directory needs to be writable. Otherwise it fails and shows a warning.

- In the highway browser: I don't think the colors showing progress for a user on a single route are contrasting enough. Colors are not consistent when &u parameter is/isn't supplied. I know it's similar to the old site, but it doesn't seem right.

- Port the home page styling/navigation to stats/map pages.

- Better code consolidation/creating modular code: CSS for the site seems quite scattered between separate CSS files and CSS embedded in PHP files. CSS relating to fonts can remain separate, but having one CSS file to edit across the whole site would make development faster and easier in my opinion. Perhaps consolidate some PHP code as well?

- Color coding table rows of systems and/or routes by % completion on user stats pages (similar to the old site) rather than continuing color coding systems by active/preview/devel?
A good compromise might be to color active systems by % completion while keeping preview and dev systems yellow and red (or a different scheme depending on the scheme used for % completion in order to create good contrast). When &db=TravelMappingDev is used, preview systems are colored by % completion.

- Showing smaller versions of generated shield SVGs in highway browser/stats pages' tables? (similar to the old site)

I'd like to see one single dark blue trace when there's no &u= parameter supplied. As on the old site.

I've missed the color coding scheme from the old site. I'd like to see it return eventually, but wouldn't consider it a big priority.

I like this idea.

Yes, this I'd like to see eventually. Though, it may or may not be better off waiting till after there are more customized shields available for the various systems. (Maybe?)

This brings me to a big item on my wishlist:
Banner SVGs for bannered routes. We'd need...
Alternate
Business
Bypass
Connector
(Historic?)
Scenic
Spur
Truck
...Are there any others I'm missing?
ISTR mapmikey using "Wye" for a few USAVA routes. Though personally I'd lobby to change those: usava;VA;VA6;Wye;Lov;Lovingston;va.va006wyelov; -> usava;VA;VA6Y;;Lov;Lovingston;va.va006ylov;
