Why would you expect anyone at Cyclingnews to be working on the weekend? Everyone knows that important races never take place on weekends. This is the New Cyclingnews after all.

Yep, another 404 error, and this comes two weeks since the launch and six days before the tour starts. They claimed the old site was cumbersome to update because it lacked a content management system. Errors like this make that argument weak. They don't understand how to use their new system...

I keep reading that we should be patient. Well sure, we could all use more patience. But in order to be patient, you need to have faith that your patience will be rewarded. In this case it's becoming more and more obvious that the problems will never be resolved, because they just don't have the...

Hopefully this will work: 1. Log in 2. Go to the forum heading you want, such as "About the Website" 3. Click the blue button "New Thread" 4. Enter a title and your initial message 5. Scroll down to the Additional Options part and click yes under Post a Poll 6. Enter the number of poll...

Wow, I think I have found a new hero. :)

I totally agree, and I think your posts have been some of the best, not abusive or petty in any way. In fact there have been quite a few comments from very intelligent and thoughtful people who are not angry or spiteful but instead are genuinely concerned. Many of them seem to have extensive...

I compiled a list and posted it, but it was deleted by the editors so I don't want to put it up again. However, it only took me a short time to get the information. All of the advertisers have websites and in most cases there is a "Contact Us" or "About Us" link somewhere on the page. Just...

I tried that, and they deleted the thread. That's okay with me, it probably deserved to be deleted. Anyone who really wants to can get in touch with the advertisers, it's very easy to do. The thing is, I didn't intend any malice toward cyclingnews. My motivation in commenting here has been to...

For that matter, we may want to try and contact the other riders who have provided diaries to CN, either currently or in the past: (current) Ivan Basso Gunn-Rita Dahle Christoph Sauser Rochelle Gilmore Barbara Howe Cameron Jennings Eva Lutz Mike Broderick & Mary McConneloug Taylor...

This is interesting, because Taylor is a current contributor to CN in their blog section. He has a vested interest in this site and his opinion may carry a lot more weight with the ownership than the rest of ours. I wonder if it is possible to contact him and ask him to express his opinion...

Stefan, when I say that you and the others are not savvy in public relations, it is this type of comment I am referring to. Again, rule number one: never, ever show frustration with your critics in public. It is absolutely the most counter-productive thing you can possibly do. If you were to...

Indeed the most troubling aspect of this entire discussion has been the manner in which the high level management of Future Publishing has thrown their employees to the wolves, so to speak, by delegating the communication to staff members who clearly are not savvy in public relations (rule no...

This is, by far, the most reasonable and well written comment to date on the spoiler issue, bravo! It seems to me this proposal would be very easy for the staff to implement and to maintain. It would go along way toward appeasing those who don't want spoiler headlines (including me and I dare...

Interesting point, and I agree with you. I'm not sure how accurate or up-to-date this information is, but for what it's worth: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/www.cyclingnews.com/ Cyclingnews.com users come from these countries: * 44.6% United States * 6.6% United Kingdom *...

For those who are reading through this whole forum thing and are interested in the history and legacy of the Cyclingnews URL, this link provides a very interesting and (in my opinion) rather profound lesson in the evolution of web design. http://web.archive.org/web/*/cyclingnews.com
