I PMed Libertine about whether we could start posting again, and she said leave it for while. Ive routes stacking up now but am not posting them as A: You camt have more than five URLs in general and like This. B: Its going to be a hard task for Libertine to go through all the routes putting them in libaries with it being harder if we post away now.rghysens said:TMP402 said:Is there any way of bringing this thread back to life or has the amazing improved update really killed it?
There have been periods before with little to no activity in this thread. Don't worry. Yet.
And feel free to contribute.

They seem to now have advertising, which means when I drag the map, I always click on the advertisment taking me to another site (usually Decathlon France).TMP402 said:Does anyone else have trouble logging into openrunner.com? Every time I attempt to log in, nothing happens, and then I can't open it in another tab, unless I delete the cookies associated with openrunner, in which case the same thing just happens over again.

If you look at what one of the development people have said in the "What happened to the forum" thread, you might not have to do it in a word/excel/pdf document. They are looking at ways to do single post view. Plus its now 10 URLs per post. Still not near enough to what you need, but getting closer.Libertine Seguros said:I'm trying to work out what to do about it. At the end of the day, one thing is clear: the libraries are broken, and are not going to be fixed.
I'm toying with the idea of making a single Word or Excel file that catalogues all of the races, so instead of having the complex network of libraries (which would become way more complex with the whole 5-links-per-post limit) having a link to a mediafire download or something of that in the first page of the thread, and then updating it monthly with the new additions instead of doing all updates as-they-were-posted as I was doing before.
This would make the first post in the thread much less complex and still include the full libraries, making the thread usable again (except for the only-5-URLs limitation being a bit frustrating), however obviously that the nice and orderly fashion that the libraries kept the posts in means it's going to mean trawling through a lot of posts. On the plus side, doing it to a Word or Excel spreadsheet means I can do it all to one document and therefore do it in one read-through of the thread rather than several as was going to be needed to rebuild the library posts.
Or I could do it as a .pdf and surreptitiously add posts to it like the UCI's suspensions document

I have it aswell. For me its when I have too many plotted points. A way to avoid it is plotting every turn and straight manually. This does take a long time, but is worth it if your designing a toute like a classic in Belgium or the Netherlands. Another advantage is one way streets in a built up area you can go down one way streets the wrong wrong way.Gigs_98 said:I have a problem with openrunner. When I create a route that goes over a pass which connects two different countries the route doesn't follow the street anymore and goes straight from one point I made to the next one. Is there anyone else who has this problem or is it only me
I didnt realise you could do that.Libertine Seguros said:You can leave most of it plotting normally, just right click your plotted point before the part causing you trouble, and it should turn yellow. This means when you put your next point in, it will go directly rather than follow roads. If it's just the border crossing causing trouble, you should only need to do this at the border itself, then you can plot normally afterward. The same applies for one-way streets as lemon cheese cake notes.
