Thread planning

[Open Horizon]

Either make a permanent CX thread in this (Professional Road Racing )

Yes, that's what I'm proposing. The CX subsection is visited very infrequently. I'm 100% sure there's more than enough interest in what road superstars MvdP, Van Aert & Pidcock are doing over the winter (while nothing else is happening) to warrant an easily reachable CX thread here in the road section. Plenty of people who don't follow CX live will still be interested in reading discussion, asking questions, checking highlights, etc. Without said thread, CX discussion will be meagre, divided over various (individual rider) threads here in the road section anyway.

I dunno. It always seem to come back alive when the CX season starts up again.

'Alive' - meaning a whopping 1.5 thread pages dedicated to the fabulous 2020 Namur battle between MvdP, Van Aert en Pidcock? I get that CX will never hit TdF level forum popularity, but this is just a missed opportunity for the sake of sticking to 1999 forum lay-outs.

It should be quite easy to move the CX race thread to the Professional Road section during the CX season. Might even hyperlink it from either section.

So my idea is:

-Move the entire CX pro race thread here to the pro road section during the CX season
-Place a sticky announcement with hyperlink to the CX thread here in the CX section
-Move it back to the CX section after the CX season ends.

You might wanna ask about stuff like that down in the About the Forum section. This is just for informing others about which threads - particular race threads - we're planning on making.

I’m surprised no one has thought of a best 2021 Forum Thread.

Do you want to do it?

I can’t with school and the one I am doing.

Gonna be a formality.

There’s been some good ones.


I’m not going to lie though, I only thought of that kind of thread when I saw “.” in the cafe.

 

[RedheadDane]

The Dot shall go down in CN Forum legends. There shall be a time, when people sit in hushed voices around the campfire, telling tales about The Dot.

 

[tobydawq]

There shall not.

Ha, ha-ha-ha. Thanks for reminding me, that was the greatest!

Should be done with the thread next week and posted Sunday. I have all almost all the typing done, just trying to tidy up and figure out how to do images.

How's it going with the images?

Hard and I’m having trouble posting anyways as I keep getting errors. I’ve done like 25 comebacks not just the ones the ones this year so trying to have pictures for all that plus Youtube

The biggest comeback of the year is actually you beating all the errors?

No, I am excluded.
I had twice though that I thought I accidentally deleted it all when I was 30 pages deep and I would have just given up.

Oh dear... I'm sending you all my best thoughts...

You're limited to 20 images in a post, and I assume videos are subject to that limit too. Don't know how long the thread you're trying to put up is, but that might be the reason.

I’m breaking it up into multiple posts since I remembered that.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm working on an idea for a little Christmasey thing.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Finally done and I just might have crashed that first page with too much pictures and YouTube x.x

 

[SHAD0W93]

Maybe I will just stick with the rest day threads during the Grand Tours.

Direct media content (like videos) are the heaviest, so in addition to spoiler tags, it would ease loading of the page if they were links instead. We never really have problems with the Race Design Thread even if some of the pages there are massive and with many pictures.

But if you copy a YouTube link into a post, the video is automatically shown, right?
