New Forum! Feedback thread

[RedheadDane]

Alright @SHaines, (since you don't actually want us to give feedback in the relevant threads), I'm going to assume this rule:

Check the date of the last post in a thread before replying. If the most recent post is more than 3 months old, create a new thread on the same topic. You can link to the previous thread as reference, but we want to avoid “necro” posts that attempt to resuscitate old threads.

does not apply to rider - or team - threads. There's a reason we have that index; so people won't have to go create new threads every time a rider does something. After all; it's not unusual to have periods of three months - or longer - during which a rider is rather quiet.

Don't worry, we look at any posts to old threads and check to see if it's relevant to bring it back.

So, basically like it's always been done? I mean, I can understand why you don't want people/spammers to resurrect old threads to make a one sentence statement.

Yep. It’s good to have things formalised in the rules, but we’ll look at things rather than apply blanket rules where we can.

Suddenly there's a lot of nothingness at the bottom of the forum, which renders the scroll bar completely useless .

Are you using Safari by any chance?

 

[dusty red roads]

I'm using Safari and had that problem early on but it disappeared ages ago, assumed they had fixed it.

I still have this problem in Safari.

No, Chrome.

That's odd. What OS? I did upgrade sometime last year from 10.9.5->10.12, maybe that solved my issue without me realizing.... I also just recently upgraded again to 10.14 and all is still fine.

10.15.7 but I've had the issue with every upgrade.

 

[King Boonen]

Strange. I've never had any issue in Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Midori, only Safari so I just assumed that it was how Safari loaded the page elements.

Hmmm, that's kinda odd! I'd even wonder if it's machine specific except that I had the issue and it disappeared at some point, which, as I said, I now suspect may have coincided with my OS upgrade to Sierra last summer.

The issue is related to the right-hand side bar I think. I've always had that switched off. I switched it on and the void disappeared. Switch it off - the forum posts then use up the space on the RH side but the page length is the same - hence the void

You seem to be correct. I just tried switching it off and that's exactly what happened.

I don't want to see the side bar so it would be nice if this could be fixed at some point.

 

[dusty red roads]

Hmmm, my side bar is closed, and there's no issue for me. I hope you can find a fix without the sidebar always in view.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

It should be a simple bug-fix

I'd rather not have the RH sidebar in view but I've got it on right now because spending time scrolling up and down trying to find the end of the thread and post-box is 10x as annoying

I really enjoyed the where are they now, Avenier..always interesting to see how far or close ex racers stay to the sport. Love to see how,what Fabian Cancellara's influence is shaping teams and rider signings..
think that overall most coverage is excellent, could probably deal with more photographs being part of every story,even if they are purchased from non professional sources.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Regarding post reaction icons. We get to chose between "like/thumbs up", "love", "haha", "wow", "sad" and "angry".
Can i propose a "vomit" icon as well? It would really come in handy in the Fabio Jakobsen thread.

 

[Netserk]

Even better, deactivate the feature completely.

Forum is working really slowly the past few days now.

I’ve definitely noticed that, and given up reading threads a few times.

Could you maybe do something about that weird issue where it brings you to the latest post in a thread, even though you specifically click the title in order to get to the first post.

That's actually a very good .

The post, or that it randomly sends you to the latest post? You still have the option of going to the latest post, by clicking the timestamp over the name of the most recent poster.
